I gave my babies apples when they were teething. I tried to make them use teethers as well, but they didn’t seem to help and my girls didn’t seem to like them much.

Apple will break into pieces, only carrot works.:)
Thanks for sharing this useful information, Dr. Kokil, I shared the blog around to all of my friends whom have little babies, my youngest is 5.

He has all 20 teeth in his mouth, but 2 are decays, so have to go to see dentist for filling soon, but he is so scared about the tools in his mouth.
Hope he will be brave enough next month and we can schedule for appointment for him soon.

I hardly remember how it was with our daughter when she was teething. All I can remember now is that she had a fever and was crying and fidgety. So, we consulted the doctor for it.

I also remembered my hubby buying a teether that she would chew on, whenever she seemed fidgety with her teeth.

Hmmm Teething in Children is a major disturbing stage in every kids life, though i do not have any kid yet, i have help in nauturing my kid brothers and sisters when they were kids. At this stage the discomfort for them is so much that if you don’t have the heart you will always be yelling at them for no reason. The pain and the discomfort alone is too much and they will cry unending. I wish a drug could be design to kill such pain in a teething kid when they get to this stage of their life.

nice adventure. i look forward to oneday making such a trip to see things for myself. But you have painter a goood picture of your adventure. weldone

It is interesting to note that bitter things have many healing properties than non bitter things. In Nigeria they have a tree whose leaf they use for soap and stew. they call in bitter leave which they enjoy eating with passion.
It medicinal properties is enumose but i don’t know i can enjoy that as my soup. But it is good for health.

Bitter foods are anti-oxidants.They are best cure for hyper persons.Only few likes its taste. This depends on how it is prepared. I like this veggie, just small amount to take every meal.

Bitter gourd is always in our diet but we eat it sparingly.

We have bitter gourd in our diet. We remove the bitterness by marinating it in salt and add a lot of jaggery.

Bitter Gourd is one the vegetables that I don’t like when I was a child. I don’t like the bitter taste. But as I grow up, I learned to love the aesthetic taste of it.

And bitter gourd is beneficial because it is rich in nutrients needed by our body.

There have been a number of studies that showed bitter gourd as a means of getting relief from respiratory conditions like asthma, bronchitis, and hay fever (rhinitis).

It’s anti-histamine, suppressant, anti-inflammatory, expectorant, and antiviral properties make it an ideal booster for respiratory health.

It is recommended to eat some bitter gourd before going to bed, so the soothing effects occur while you’re sleeping!

Division of labour is the fastest way of doing things but the problem with it is that those you assign part of your duties to are not able to accomplish the task the way you will have done or wish for hence you doing everything yourself. With techology all of that is changing as you can now pay all your bills online so the moverment is less.

I usually do the errands on the same time and that’s how I try to save some time.

This is where online transactions comes handy – bills payment.

At our office, we have an employee whose job is to go to banks for the deposits of the different affiliates. Since she also go to the bank where I pay my credit card, I send them through her, because she’s accorded good service since our company is one of the valued clients.

And every Christmas I have a gift for her, for being so gracious in paying my credit card.

So true, we can do some many things online now and included to reduce the numbers of going out and stuck in the traffic jam.
Agree with @Raphael, that we can do more things now in one shot with the current technology level we embraced with. We can paying bill online, blogging at LiteracyBase while having our cloths washing in the washing machine, having our tea cooking in the kitchen and have the vacuum robot to cleaning the floor. Thanks to the innovation and technology!

I love @dina’s way which ask someone to help her to pay for the credit card bill too. We can ask for help around if the one is good and kind enough to give us a hand. Off course, we have to know how to return with kindness too. Thus, Dina has a Christmas gift for her every year, this one of the way.
And, we can bake some cakes, cookies and food for the neighbour whom help us for pay our bills too or run some errands for us, and help in saving our time.

O&M is what management calls it. If one has an organised method lots can be achieved in little time.

I have gained some weight. And I want to reduce it. Otherwise I think I am doing okay so far.

i love my body so much that i will not want to do anything to change it to please any one. Naturaly every one came with their body size. i dont know why people will want to change their body size to please others. Untill you appreciate yourself, no one will appreciate you.

I also love my body because it’s what I am. Although I am trying to lose more weight to satisfy my desired body shape.
Loving our own body will enforce us to go with healthy diets and do some workout. It makes us realize how good it is to take care of our body from diseases.
Every now and then, I find time to do exercise because it is one way of loving myself. To be fit.

yes. One should love one’s body as long as we live. There may be some changes that may take place but we should not develop hatred for them as they are all temporary changes. They come and go. They develop and again disappear. But, as true lover of our body how can we allow it in bad shape. This is the point of concern. If we really love our body we should take proper care of it. We should allow only as minimum changes as possible but not the total change in the structure itself.
I love my body that is why I eat what it requires that too in limited quantity. I do exercise properly and keep my stomach always half full. I never give trouble to my digestive system dumping always something or the other. This is what we should generally do. Take care of your skin Apply oil to it and give it a good expose to the sun and the moon. Take your body out and give it a good air.
Take care of your muscles. Give them proper exercise Keep them strong and free from water. Feed them with the adequate amount of fat.
Take care of your bones. Give them sufficient supply of Vitamin D, Calcium and other minerals. Never overburden your digestive system This is always a golden principle.

Are you not here in the Philippines? Indeed, the cold weather can make us gain weight because it whets our appetite thus makes us eat more. ha ha ha

Just like you, I am trying to lose some fats and for me, those are in the tummy area.

I just cut down my rice portion and eat apple instead for dinner.

It is nice to hear that you love your body. We should really because it’s the temple of the holy spirit. So we really have to take care of it, so we can live on it longer.

I was so happy too, to know that I am still within the normal BMI. I thought I am way above the normal.

I am trying to lose my tummy fat and I do that by just eating an apple for dinner. Although, when I eat the apple I see to it that I am still a bit full from my snacks in the afternoon.

So far, my pants have loosened a bit in the waist.

I love my body, i am acutally lucky that i have a fast metabolism because i eat like crazy and some people even think i should be fat. I am actually skinny but with some meat.

I never hated my body, i just adapted to how i looked and love my body no matter what. I don’t do anything to change my form either. I am too lazy for that.

Sometimes i gain more weight and lose weight depending on the seasons but it varies between 5-7 kilos either way, so it doesn’t make a big diference on my appearance.

I can’t say I hate my body or that I love it. I have a little bit of weight I want to lose before summertime so I can feel confident in a bikini. I try to maintain a steady weight. But it’s important to appreciate your body and feel content with yourself physically.

This is really a pity to see a housewife in that position.Is it not controlling her from doing what she really wants to be? She has been reduced to financially dependent in the society. Doesn’t she have some wishes and desires? How a husband treat his wife like that? Totally shame on him.
Of course, there are some sites that may provide some pocket money. But, they are not reliable.
First, the lady/housewife should have financial freedom and she must be in a position to earn something for her own expenses. If her husband can not fulfill her wants and desires what is the minimum thing he can give her? Totally absurd.

A pity that this housewife is struggling. Those tips are very useful. Now in this time and age, the woman has got to be smart and be self-reliant. If something were to happen to the main breadwinner, she has to step up to the plate. There is a website called the penny hoarder that lists plenty of opportunities to earn some side money as well as some full time positions. It is an informative website that can give anybody ideas to how to make some extra income. Hope this helps.

Yes, I agree. The stay at home wife should do these things so she also can have money of her own to buy whatever she likes to buy.

Having those hobbies turned to business is what I always see on televisions. Some are so artistic, that they make those accessories which they sell online.

A former officemate of mine, resigned because her business of second hand clothes, bags and shoes, became so prolific because she established a niche for Them through her online website where she would take pictures of them and post it in Facebook. Friends and friends of friend , relatives and a lot more would order that she eventually resigned to also have a stall in their house while she also sells them online.

One should really be determined to prosper.

Yes, you are right, @sivasubrahmanyam, that’s really pity that the housewife lose her financial independency after decided to stay at home and take care of the children and the family. In fact, the wife or stay at home one should get paid too, say a quarter of his/her partner’s monthly income as a appreciation of her/his contribution to the family.
Can we image, how much we need to pay for sending the children to the baby sitter? And how much it need for hiring a domestic assistant? The housewife does all this stuffs and get no paid. It is seems a bit not fair to her.
@caleb, thanks for sharing the website. Hope this help for those needed, do the opportunities have any geographical factor restriction?
@michelle, USD20 is too little, right? Agree with you, the housewife need some leaves or “me “ time as the working lady too, and deserve for some pay or something nice or some gifts or a treat. So, my husband treated me and himself too on V day, haha!:P

Thanks for sharing your ideas. I think even when a mother needs to stay at home she should find something she is passionate about and find a way to make some money out of it. Like you said art and crafts come in handly even selling them at a low price it will get you someone to refer you to others and get a little client base on you things.

If you like to write them find a way to make yourself a blog and use google adsense to earn some money.

There are alot of ways to get a little cash. You just need to be a bit creative.

nice piece of article which is very informative on tooth care. Without the tooth how will humanity look like? i hard hole in my tooth some month back and the pain was unbearable. The teeth are connected to all organs on the head and therefore need the best of care.

Your post shows what a good dentist you are my friend.

My mother and father both have full dentures. Thus, us their children, had our partial dentures even when we were still in primary grades.

Our teeth would really be easily damaged so all of us had our partial dentures at an early age.

And because I already had a phobia of the injection, after college, I had all my teeth extracted and had my full dentures. At least, I don’t have a problem of my teeth getting achy and be crying the whole night.

Now my problem, is how to make my denture whiter, since it has become a bit yellowish although i always brush them well , 4 times a day.

When I was young, dental care was free here in the UK. I think it made all the difference because everyone looked after their teeth better. Not many people realise bad teeth can affect other areas of health. Mine are pretty good and I put it down to that until I was forty or so I got the dental care free that I can no longer afford.
