- pilihlah supermarket atau toko grosir dengan begitu Anda bisa membeli dalam jumlah besar dengan harga yang lebih murah
- buat daftar belanja kebutuhan mingguan dan bulanan, dengan begitu Anda bisa mengetahui berapa banyak biaya yang perlu anda anggarkan
- saat berbelanja barang dalam kemasan perhatikan tanggal kadaluarsa dan kemasannya. jangan tergoda harga murah atau obral yang hanya membuat Anda menyesal
- belilah perlengkapan multifungsi misalnya sabun cair sekaligus untuk mencuci tangan.
- simpan dan gunakan voucher belanja sebaik-baiknya yang mungkin diperlukan saat Anda tidak memiliki cukup dana cash
- jangan ragu menerima "sample" produk dari Sales Promotion Girl. misalnya sabun cair atau pelembab ukuran sachet. Bisa menghemat untuk kosmetik dan perlengkapan mandi
- mainan anak tidak selalu harus membeli. Jika Anda cukup kreatif, buatkan mainan dari kain atau kaos kaki yang sudah tidak terpakai. Misalnya membuat boneka
- membuat kartu undangan atau ucapan selamat jauh lebih hemat dan lebih menarik pastinya jika Anda mampu berkreasi dengan menambahkan foto keluarga atau gambar pemandangan hasil jepretan kamera Anda.
- mengolah makanan atau cemilan sendiri jauh lebih hemat dan tentu menyehatkan untuk Anda sajikan bagi keluarga Anda. terutama hidangan lezatbergizi untuk anak-anak bikinan Bunda.
- memilih menitipkan anak kepada kerabat atau meminta bantuan saudara (adik, keponakan, sepupu) membuat Anda lebih nyaman saat Anda harus pergi ke luar rumah tanpa cemas sebab dititipkan pada keluarga sendiri

Sense of Smell
Whether for finding food, avoiding predators or choosing a mate, the sense of smell is critical for the existence of almost all creatures. We humans, able to distinguish over 10,000 different odor molecules, utilize our sense of smell for a multitude of activities from enjoying the aroma of freshly brewed coffee to deciding whom not to sit next to on the bus. In the last 15 years scientists have made great advances to our understanding of how our nose detects odor molecules and our brain processes the resulting information that gives rise to the sensation of smell.

Sarapan dan Bekal Sekolah

Jangan pernah mengabaikan sarapan!. Menurut hasil penelitian para pakar, anak-anak yang terbiasa sarapan terbukti lebih mudah menangkap pelajaran, mampu berkonsentrasi dengan baik dan lebih aktif dalam keseharian di sekolahnya.
Hanya saja selama ini masih banyak orang beranggapan sarapan mestilah dengan nasi dan lauk pauk lengkap. Padahal yang terpenting dalam menyiapkan sarapan adalah kandungan protein, lemak dan multivitamin. sedangkan karbohidrat lebih sebagai faktor penunjang. artinya jumlah kalori dari karbohidrat jangan terlalu banyak.
Pasalnya jika karbohidrat yang lebih banyak dimakan, akibatnya gula darah meningkat dan selebihnya anak akan merasa loyo dan mengantuk.
Jadi dalam menyediakan sarapan, yang utama adalah menyediakan susu, oatmeal, roti panggang lengkap dengan scrambled eggs dan sayuran (daun selada, timun dan tomat) serta diberi olesan keju atau mayones. Pilihan lain bisa berupa nugget ayam/ikan, sosis ayam/sapi, telur rebus atau daging giling dibuat burger.
Selain sarapan dengan menu gizi seimbang, anak juga perlu mendapat bekal makanan yang bergizi dari rumah. Jangan dibiarkan anak jajan sembarangan, kecuali jika sekolah menyediakan kantin dengan menu makanan yang baik.
Bisa saja sejak malam hari anda menyiapkan sarapan dan bekal sekolah untuk kemudian dimasukkan ke dalam lemari pendingin. Saat pagi hari anda tinggal menyiapkan dan menghangatkan. Anda bisa membuat variasi mie, pizza, roti isi, burger, arem-arem dan masih banyak lagi.
Menu yang bervariasi akan membuat anak tidak cepat bosan dengan sarapan yang disediakan bundanya. Begitu pula untuk bekal sekolah, anda dapat mengemasnya dalam wadah bekal yang beraneka rupa agar anak tidak bosan.
kembali runyam heh?!
- ya...semua ibu-ibu pastinya mulai sibuk dan berkutat lagi dengan soal anak kembali ke sekolah. mulai beli pakaian seragam, paket buku, sepatu baru dan segala tetek bengek lainnya.
- Kiat agar anak tak mogok sekolah...pastikan ibu mendampingi anak pada hari pertama sekolah
- jika ikut mobil jemputan...kenali supir dan siapa saja yang ikut dalam mobil jemputan tersebut. catat nomor telepon yang bisa dihubungi sebagai penanggungjawab antar jemput sekolah
- ajari anak untuk menolak siapapun yang mengajak pulang sekolah tanpa diketahui guru
- kenali guru kelas dan kepala sekolahnya serta nomor telepon yang dapat dihubungi
- jika diantar jemput pembantu, pastikan berangkat dan sampai di rumah pada waktunya
- pastikan anak sarapan dan membawa bekal dari rumah, agar tidak terbiasa jajan. apalagi banyak jajanan yang kini kurang aman untuk dikonsumsi anak-anak.
- setidaknya dalam kurun waktu seminggu wajarlah jika ibu masih mondar-mandir ikut mengantar atau menelpon ke sekolah...tapi saya rasa ibu sudah bisa tenang kembali bekerja jika sudah lewat seminggu.

Five Simple Ways to Slow Down the Aging Process
As baby boomers start to head into their retirement years, they are faced with the reality and inevitability of the body’s natural aging process. Everyone wants to prevent aging - at least the negative effects of aging - but tends to believe it can’t be done.
Well, you may not be able to stop aging completely, but you can definitely slow it down. To find out how, keep reading for five simple steps to help you resist aging when the time comes.
Don’t Stress the Younger Days Away
Stress is a key instigator of aging. The more you worry, the more those forehead lines begin to show, your hair starts to go gray and you find it a little more difficult to breathe each day. Stress will also accelerate your mental aging because it causes you to become increasingly forgetful and confused.
To avoid or at least minimize stress, you should make your life more organized by planning events and leaving enough time for your day-to-day family activities. Also, focus on mental relaxation and meditation. Take the stress away and you reduce the likelihood of developing premature wrinkles.
Sweat it Out
Working out keeps your body young. As your pores open up while you sweat, you are releasing a variety of toxins and bacterium that otherwise would normally increase the speed of the aging process.
Working out also helps circulate the blood and oxygen in your body, making sure that your organs can work correctly, cells are rejuvenated and nutrients are delivered throughout. Also, a strong body is a young body, so try to exercise for at least 20 to 30 minutes every day, doing some form of aerobic workout that you enjoy.
Purify With Water
Drinking water can do wonders for slowing the aging process. Water helps to hydrate the body, thus cleansing the body of more harmful toxins that cause us to age.
Water also hydrates the skin, giving it a fuller, softer and smoother appearance. So, try to drink at least 8 glasses of water every day.
Additionally, many people enjoy the benefits of cleaner filtered, distilled, or spring water which eliminate some of the harmful chemicals that can be delivered with normal tap water.
Nutrients do a Body Good
Eating a balanced, healthy diet can slow the aging process in two ways - it will help you maintain a healthy weight and digestive system, and it’ll provide your body with the fuel it needs to fight free radicals, generate new cell growth and maintain your overall strength.
Stick with lean proteins, fruits and vegetables for a diet that will help keep you young and strong for years to come. Try a number of healthy food options to find those you actually enjoy and will continue to eat over the long haul.
Moisturize
The best thing you can do to keep your body looking young is to moisturize inside and out. Obviously drinking water helps with the interior, while the external application of topical moisturizer can help with the outside. You should also use sun screen if you are planning to go outside, and moisturize your body afterward.
