In the past month, I came across 2 stories about children, porn and the internet that have made me wish that we could go back to the time when the internet wasn’t so easily available. Story #1 : an article circulating on Facebook about a 13 year old boy who has been listed on a Sex […] Read more…
Moving away from the “dr says” mindset
Over the years, I have slowly moved our family away from mainstream health treatments, realising that a lot of times the doctors we see are treating the symptoms and not the root cause. This does not mean we don’t ever see a doctor and we don’t take any medication. We do. Really. Just that we […] Read more…
Attacking our families blatantly
So, the attack on the family is getting more blatant. Companies like Ashley Madison openly promotes adultery and I guess not enough protests about it has allowed it to set up in places like Hong Kong and Japan?! Thankfully enough protests here have led to ministers speaking up against it and even MDA saying that it […] Read more…

I have blogged about how Steroids just makes eczema worse back in July 2012. But I guess I just need to say yet again why we say “no” to steroids because many people have been totally aghast that I would either : suffer through the itch and rashing or worse, allow my children to do […] Read more…

Humbled…Yet Again
On good days, I think I have it all under control. I just know what to do with regards to school, home management, allergies, etc. You name it and I have an opinion and a right opinion, mind you, about it. And then come days that show me that I don’t have anything under my […] Read more…
How to Ensure that Moms Get to Rest
Rest is physically required in order that we can function at an optimum level. But it is often the last thing on our To-Do list. As mothers, we are all guilty of neglecting this aspect of our lives. We think everything rests on our shoulders and therefore we must push on and ignore our need […] Read more…
Argh – A Rant
You have been warned. I am in a ranting mood, so if you are looking for encouragement, I suggest skipping this post. 🙂 What’s my issue? Besides the dog that won’t quit its barking??? Moms who are unwilling to even try diet modification to see if eating a real, whole food diet can help their child’s […] Read more…
