 Bartering–A Way to Save! | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 0:18:43

Kathy Peel shares why bartering is a smart business practice you and friends can use to share expertise or items, and save each other money and time. And hear how to start a Moms on a Mission Group to save you on home repairs. Ideas from Kathy’s Newsletter: 1. Team up with a coworker. You both cook double portions of what you’re fixing for dinner on Monday and Wednesday nights, then take the extra portion in a cooler to the office the following day. You both get Tuesday and Thursday nights off from cooking and won’t be tempted to pick up fast food on the way home. 2. Trade home maintenance or decorating tasks. Suggest to a friend that you will help her paint her child’s bedroom if she helps you wallpaper a bathroom. 3. Host a swap party. Decide on a theme such as toys, baby equipment, or children’s clothing. Invite friends to bring a few of these items along to swap, and everyone goes home with “new’ things without spending a cent. 4. Trade out chores with a friend who has different skills than yours. If you have a green thumb but hate to organize, and your neighbor has a black thumb but can easily make sense of cluttered closets, you help her with gardening and she streamlines your storage space. You both win. 5. Barter around the holidays. If you’re not a great cook but you excel in wrapping beautiful packages, tell a friend you’ll wrap her gifts if she’ll bake holiday treats for you. 6. Cut cooking time in half by teaming up with a friend who is also hosting holiday company. She bakes double batches of her specialties and you do the same 7. Ask three moms with like-aged children to join a holiday babysitting co-op. Each mom entertains the kids for a few hours on one of four days. Each mom will save on sitter costs and have time to do holiday shopping and errands. 8. If you’re spiffing up your home for a party or houseguests, ask a neighbor who’s doing the same to split the cost of renting a carpet-cleaning machine for a day. 9. Traveling over the holidays? Ask a friend to come to your home to feed, water, and exercise your pet. Return the favor, and you both save on boarding fees. These ideas were adapted from The Busy Mom’s Guide to a Happy, Organized Home where you’ll find hundreds of smart ideas for saving money and managing your family well

 Helping Immunity as Flu Season Starts | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 0:00:01

Encore Show: Learn the best ways to increase your immunity and stave off the flu. Learn the products we LOVE to keep our hands clean and soft. We LOVE PureWorks and Xlear to keep healthy. Wash hands often. Use soap and water, teach children to sing the alphabet while they scrub. The soap loosens the germs and makes them slippery so they will rinse away with water. Particularly wash hands after coughing or sneezing. Avoid using the pen at the store. Bring your own. Avoid touching the entry doors at stores and the doors when you leave the restroom. Try to break habit of touching your face, that’s how germs enter your body. Drink plenty of fluids: it helps flush out toxins Get enough rest. (yeah right) Your body knows what to do with a germ, but if you hamper it with poor diet or fatigue, it may not respond to illness as quickly as you need. Load your body with a wide variety of fruits and vegetables Exercise – moderately. Use different toothpaste tubes for each member of family (something my husband does, but I find it too cumbersome for ALL our family members –but he rarely gets sick) Less Stress–don’t add to it by worrying about sanitizing everything. For your baby, continue nursing. Your antibodies provide a great deal of protect for their young immune system. Remember your immune system is a growing body of knowledge. Don’t stress about overcleanliness. Low levels of germs can teach your body in a small way what is bad. This is the principle of vaccines. It learns what is good and bad and when you keep your body healthy, the immune system quickly gets rid of what is “bad.” Don’t smoke–it reduces mucus lining that protects germs from entering your body Cut alcoholic consumption. Alcohol impairs liver function and dehydrates, and fluids are important And Who should get flu shots? According to the Center for Disease Control People at high risk for complications from the flu, including: Children aged 6 months until their 5th birthday, Pregnant women, People 50 years of age and older, and People of any age with certain chronic medical conditions; People who live in nursing homes and other long term care facilities People who live with or care for those at high risk for complications from flu (protects them from getting it and passing it on to those they care for Hand sanitizer danger Beer has 5% alcohol content Wine 12% Hard liquor starts at 40% Hand sanitizer at least 60% So 2 Tablespoons of sanitizer can have as much alcohol as one can of beer. We love PureWorks Antibacterial Foam as the only hand sanitizer we use in our diaper bag and in our homes. Tricia was the first one to let us know about this incredible product. Since then, we have all tried it and find it is really great. Best of all, it is 100% safe for kids–even if they drink it (they will be really clean on the inside). Kills 99.9% of bacteria and other harmful germs that can cause illness and infection. Persistent – Continues to protect your skin for hours after application. FDA compliant as both a First-aid Antiseptic and hand sanitizer. No-rinse application for foams and sprays. Alcohol free. The active ingredient is benzethonium chloride, recognized world-wide as a safe and effective antimicrobial compound. Rather than drying or irritating the skin, PureWorks products soften and condition the skin while providing hours of lasting protection against bacteria and harmful germs that cause illness.
