Gum disease is responsible for many oral issues. Good gum care is as equally important as cleaning your teeth. We all know why brushing your teeth is so important, it ensures that food particles and bacteria are removed to stop tooth decay from developing. The medical term for gum disease is Periodontal Disease, which comes …
Regular readers may have seen previous posts for #BestBootForward, hosted by the lovely ladies at Indigo Wilderness and Kate On Thin Ice. My previous posts include my plans to live a more self sufficient lifestyle, and answering questions on how this journey is going so far. This week I have been given 3 new questions …
Firstly, Thank you to Kate On Thin Ice for inviting me to write this post and joining in with her #BestBootForward linky. We want to talk about New Years Resolutions and how you can forget about failure and concentrate on one small area of your life that you want to change. Grab a notebook and …
We all know that feeling, you’ve got an early start in the morning, and you know how important it is that you get a good night’s sleep, and yet, no matter what you do, you just can’t seem to drift off. You try different positions; you kick off your covers; you wrap yourself up in …
Today, my family were featured in The Sun for using cloth toilet paper. A brave move. But that’s not the only cloth we use in our house. We also use cloth nappies, cloth baby wipes, cloth make-up remover wipes and even cloth sanitary protection (CSP). I’ve been using CSP for around 3 years now, and …
No child likes being told it’s bedtime- in fact, these are the words that most kids absolutely dread! When you’re young, all you want is the freedom to stay up and have fun. But as parents, we of course know that this isn’t what’s best and that sleep absolutely has to be a priority for …
Dementia; It can be a really tough subject to talk about whatever your age and even more so when talking to small children about the subject. I used to work as a HCA in a residential care home where most of its residents suffered from Dementia or Alzheimer’s. Everyday we saw our residents becoming lost and …
We are due our 4th baby in just 20 weeks time, and we’ve heard the same piece of advice, time and time again- sleep as much as you can before the baby arrives because once the little bundle of joy is born, you will not be getting any sleep for a few years. This is, of course, …
The modern age has its benefits. Never before has connectivity been so easy. Not to mention that we have access to a wealth of information. Used right, technology can be a real help. But, it’s not without its flaws. The biggest problem is the amount of time we spend using it. The internet can’t teach …
We all take massive responsibility for the health of our family, right? We like to ensure they are eating good, clean and nutritional food instead of processed foodstuffs. We try to take them out as much as possible and encourage healthy and productive hobbies so that our families can live a healthy and active lifestyle. We …
I know what you’re thinking. “No deodorant… gross. Smelly hippy.” Well, think what you like but I can guarantee that I am not a smelly hippy. A hippy maybe, but not smelly. I honestly cannot remember when I stopped using deodorant, but its certainly around 10 years now. And even before then, I never really bothered that …
You may have seen my post last week about our new Vegas Smart Advance mattress. It was time for us to get a good nights sleep, and our new mattress certainly hit the spot. We have been enjoying our new mattress for over a week now and we love it. In my previous post I …
We all love getting into bed after a long day. A nice hot bath, fresh linen, cosy PJ’s and a hot water bottle makes this time of year perfect for making up excuses to settle down for an early night. It’s cold outside, and you want comfort. Did you know that you will spend 20,000 hours …
