After reading Cure Tooth Decay: Heal and Prevent Cavities with Nutrition last year, I decided we needed to make some dietary changes to halt the tooth decay that both girls were experiencing.
I got my first bottle of Fermented Cod Liver / High Vitamin Butter Oil, which is recommended in Cure Tooth Decay, for the girls last October. We went with the gel in the Cinnamon Tingle flavor since neither Zoë nor Kaylee could swallow a pill yet and I thought they’d go for cinnamon over plain flavor.
Zoë did okay eating it with yogurt and raw honey or by dipping walnuts in it, but Kaylee wasn’t having it. There was nothing I could do to hide it from her. She spit food everywhere whenever I tried to hide it from her.
Strangely enough, it seems that Zoë’s tooth decay on her front teeth has halted and Kaylee’s has continued to progress. Since then, I have discovered that both girls can [click to continue…]
No matter how comfortable you feel in your home, making a few changes and improvements can be hugely beneficial. If you live in an older property that is beginning to show signs of wear and tear, there are many ways you can give your property a facelift and a whole new lease of life.
With the right improvements, you can not only improve your home in terms of aesthetics, but you can also add increased practicality and functionality to the home. This means that you can enjoy even greater comfort in your own home, as well as convenience, ease and a great new look. [click to continue…]
Fostering a child can be one of the most fulfilling experiences for a person. Giving a less-fortunate child the opportunity for a happy childhood and a chance to reach their full potential is not only important, but also gratifying.
Agencies like Fostering Solutions rely on the help of people looking to open up their homes and hearts to foster caring. If this is you, you’ll already be aware that it’s a serious commitment and that there a number of questions to consider. We’ve tried to assess the most popular. [click to continue…]
As we desperately try to find alternative energy sources to polluting, non-renewable fossil fuels, solar power has gained a huge amount of momentum and research and development into its capabilities is growing at a steady rate. However, solar energy is by no means a new idea. We have utilised the sun’s powerful rays to heat dwellings and water since our very creation. We take you through an abridged history of our understanding and development of solar power from the very beginning to where we are now in terms of technology and efficiency, and look at the future of solar for the planet.
All ancient attempts to utilise the sun’s powers focused on its ability to heat homes – the Ancient Egyptians and Greeks used passive solar designs in their buildings to keep dwellings cool during the day and heat them at night. It wasn’t until 1767 that the world’s first solar collector was created. Reaching temperatures of up to 230℉, the glass-covered insulated box developed by a Swiss scientist is largely credited as being the first solar oven. Today, solar collectors, or concentrators, can reach temperatures of thousands of degrees and are used to produce steam or heat saline storage ponds.

Father’s Day is coming up fast. Do you know what you’ll be getting your father and/or husband? I used to always have so many ideas on what to get my husband for special occasion, but since our lifestyle has changed so much in the past few years I don’t always know what the best gift will be.
My husband spends a lot of time driving for his business, so anything to make his life easier and safer are always great. I was happy to be able to get him a Stat Gear T3 Tactical Triage & Auto Rescue Tool this year. [click to continue…]
See that sweet baby sleeping on my chest? That’s Zoë as a newborn. My sweet little 10 lb. 1 oz. baby girl. I can’t believe that picture was taken 5 years ago!
I have delayed writing this post because I feel like every time I say something about the girls making a positive step towards choosing independence for themselves, I jinx it and we regress. But it has been a few weeks now, so I feel comfortable saying…

Experts sometimes refer to addiction as a family illness, but it’s not because of any biological context. It’s about the emotional repercussions of addiction. If one family member is experiencing addiction, the whole family suffers. This is especially true for parents who are witnessing their child go through addiction.
Parents have this overwhelming need to protect their children from any pain or hardship. And because no one can be cajoled out of addiction, it’s particularly devastating for parents to watch a child suffer through it. While there may be little you can do as a parent to cure your child’s addiction, there are still ways you can contribute to their recovery. If your child has finally decided to get help and change their life, there are a few things to keep in mind if you want to be involved in the process.

At Expo West, I met a ton of great brands offering new gluten free products. One of the companies I discovered Among Friends, which makes healthy baking mixes, including two gluten free cookie mixes.
I brought home 2 bags of cookie mix with me:
- Phil ‘em Up, which includes Gluten-free Oats, Cranberries, Callebaut Chocolate.
- Shane’s Sweet-n-Spicy, which includes Gluten-free Oat Flour, Cinnamon, Lemon Zest
I always get nervous baking with new mixes because I’m never sure whether my egg substitutes will work or not. [click to continue…]

Since we cook almost everything from scratch at home, the girls love playing chef. They are always coming up with creative ideas on what to serve mommy and daddy from their pretend kitchen.
Since we eat a lot of produce in our house, their pretend meals often include organic fruit or veggies. They have worn out of a lot of their play food by taking it outside, so I was excited to be able to get them a new set.
We received the New Sprouts Fresh Picked Fruit & Veggie Tote from Learning Resources to review and the girls were super excited about it!
