Learning about bees and the amazing job they are doing to sustain life on Earth could be indeed a pretty fun task. Especially if you engage the little ones into making their own honey bee hive at home with some recycling stuff. Let me tell how it all started for us with M. M’s homework last week was to find out what kind of insects live in our garden. Then she had to map out where each bug was located (to my greatest horror). Last summer, she was quite impressed by slugs. One day, after picking her up from the nursery with a glass full of these creatures, I got…

YUMMY CHOCOLATE COATED GINGER
It was last summer when I truly, madly, deeply fell in love with the chocolate coated ginger. As an exquisite ginger lover, I always have something gingery at home – fresh roots, powder, chocolate coated ginger, ginger wine, ginger toothpaste… There are two reasons for this – I adore its spicy taste and I take it as a cure for every cold / flu I ever catch.

So far so good, but it turns out that the…

However, lately I have been interested in the skincare I can give myself at home. Just because the five personalities that live in me – MomWifeMompreneurHousewifeWonderWoman – usually get me out of…

And with M going to school, staying healthy when everyone around have come down with some sort of virus, could be a real adventure. This January, viruses at M’s school were merciless leaving whole classes with only a couple of kids attending. Still, we have been lucky enough that no one at home fell victim to them.

My list is straight to the point. #1 BEAUTY SLEEP I lost it!. It all started when I was a college girl and when I was better off hanging out with my friends, exercising regularly, studying hard for exams.
