How to make your own saline solution at home

Traducción al Español Well, I think this is the very best solution that my pediatrician has given to me. I started, I suppose than same as most of parents, buying the saline solution in small doses when it was needed, from time to time... until my kid started the school, and from then the mucus have became his partner (this year, they seem to be quite controlled, lets knock on wood...) with so much nose washings, we finished changing to a litre size and taking it with a syringe until in one of our last visits to our pediatrician she said us: And, why don't you prepare it? It's really easy... O_O (I think that was more or less my face...) Well here you have the recipe, we have been using it for a while and it works (let me say, that if I would need it to wash eyes, I would buy it in a pharmacy...) This saline solution may be used for 48 hours after its preparation, then it should be thrown away, so you don't have to prepare a lot. We will need: - 1/2 litre o...

Making a shepherd costume in a record time

Yes, as you read, and do you know the funny part? That I already have 3 other shepherd costumes... And... why am I making another one? Well those costumes are inside a moving box... Box number 78, more specifically... and box number 78 is located between others 150 boxes here... The photo is not good enough to appreciate but there are around 8 rows in depth... and over them columns of 4 to 6 boxes... a complete chaos... Well, back to what I was talking about, given the fact that the Christmas performance is tomorrow, I've had to buy half meter of sheepskin-lined cloth and make a shepherd costumme. Here, I'm sharing with you a step by step guide to do it, I know, I know, it's late for this year, but, who knows, maybe next year some of you need to make one. ;) First, we start using a kid's coat as pattern, putting it inside out and with the sleeve inside the coat to have the shape of the vest, and we cut the outline. We have to place de cut pi...

It's almost Christmas

And like every year, before Christmas it comes the Advent. So, to our house (or to my parent's in-law, depending on if we have left our flat or not) will come Clyde, our Elf. For those who don't know what I'm talking about, two years ago we started a new tradition at home. The Elf on the Shelf , is a tradition that seemed beautiful to me, and it brings a book telling the story in english so my kids may practice the language. But, what is it about? The elf gets home at the begin of the Advent, to watch the kids and to make his/her report to Santa. We make it coincide with December, the 1st, so he also brings the Advent calendar. If it's the first year that you have the elf at home, you should put him/her a name, in the book there are some possible names but you may get creative. The kids cannot touch the elf (you either) or he/she will will lose the magic. The elf, if there's someone near will not move and will act like a toy, but when nobo...
