DO IT YOURSELF SPRAY CLEANERS AND SCOURING POWDER
while having a clean home. Several areas in our home can be cleaned with the following formulations.
SCRUBBING POWDER
VINEGAR SPRAY & RINSE
This really shines ceramic surfaces. Vinegar is a good degreaser and discourages bacterial. This spray alone is useful for wiping down surfaces like tables, counters and glass. Used as a spray after showers and baths, your vinegar spray can help discourage the growth of mold.
DISINFECTANT & HARD SURFACE (GLASS, METAL ETC) CLEANER
MOLD AND SOAP SCUM TREATMENT
Soap scum and mold can be a problem in homes with hard water. Two parts water mixed with one part Hydrogen Peroxide is a good pre-treatment for these stains. Store in a spray bottle that you use to mist affected surfaces. Allow the solution to sit undisturbed for an hour and follow with scouring powder.
These ideas are presented only for your information. Using any of these suggestions must be done with good judgment at the risk of the reader.
LISTEN TO MY DREAM, A BOOK BY DEBI PEARL
A few men in history arise and call to others to be numbered among the ones that serve a greater cause. These men encourage others to hope and pursue a higher calling. These inspire others to dream of more, to dare to reach for the possibilities.
This was the way Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. spent his life. His life and work look much different than those that chased the spotlight and loved fame. It was not enough for Dr. King that laws were changed; he urged people to change also, to become all that they were created to be. He promoted excellence as a worthy goal.
With Dr. King as her inspiration, a Tennessee grandmother has written a tribute entitled, LISTEN TO MY DREAM.
This volume is December 15, 2009 is the date when the book will be available for purchase. LISTEN TO MY DREAMDebi Pearl's, LISTEN TO MY DREAM.
PARENTS PREPARING FOR UNEXPECTED CIRCUMSTANCES
PLAN NOT TO PANIC
see RULE OF 3'S TO SURVIVE)
ROUTINES ARE IMPORTANT
Look for ways to create a routine for children in the upheaval of the unexpected. This will give them a sense of stability and show that you are still able to function as parent and protector.
ENTERTAINMENT
PREPARE FOR GOOD HEALTH
While you have access to treatments, make sure you are maintaining your health and dental care. By taking preventive measures now, you can meet the unexpected without neglected physical ailments. If you require certain medicines, be sure that you have a supply in stock. Observe closely the eating, sleeping and toilet patterns of your loved ones in order to catch and treat illness early and decisively. Train yourself to take note of the impact of circumstances on those around you. It is easy to become consumed with your own difficulties and overlook warning signals that others may need help.
EAT REAL FOODS
BABIES AND INFANTS
Infants need help regulating body temperature and should be protected from extremes of heat and cold. In summer, protect babies from direct sun. An umbrella is a good tool for this. In the winter, dressing little ones in layers protects them from the cold. Long-sleeved thermal underwear can be worn beneath zippered fleece sleepers for nighttime warmth. Sharing a bed with 2 or 3 others helps everyone stay warm at night. During the day, wool socks and a hat help little ones keep warm along with a zippered fleece jacket.
HYGIENE
luxury of a daily bath. Find the warmest spot in your living quarters and teach your children that they should wash their faces, hands, feet and privates every day. Before meals, have them wash their hands. This is important for healthy hygiene in rustic conditions. Explain to older children the importance of a well positioned latrine and show them how to dispose of waste well away from living areas.
SKILLS
Children become more confident as they gain life skills. Give your children the gift of learning how to do such things as shop wisely, stock a pantry, pitch a tent, build a camp fire, cook, sew, garden, repair small engines, perform first aid, CPR, and swim. Knowing self defense, what to do in a fire drill and practicing other scenarios builds confidence. A prepared child is also less likely to panic.
Making preparedness a part of your life will help your children avoid panic when moments are crucial. Rather than face the unknown with desperation, you will have a plan and your little ones will know what to expect. These measures help families face uncertainty with strength.
NO MORE HICCUPS
Hiccups usually go away on their own and are caused by a stomach that is very full. When a person eats too fast, swallows too much air, gets emotionally excited or changes the temperature of the stomach by drinking something cold, followed by something hot, the body can respond with hiccups.
By increasing the level of carbon dioxide in the blood, honey is able to stop hiccups. This same effect can be had by breathing into a paper bag, drinking a cold glass of water, holding your breath and counting slowly to 10 (or more) or taking a teaspoon of peanut butter, agave syrup, maple syrup or sugar.
Normally, hiccups are more a nuisance than a painful condition.
