I really like water – do I need a lifejacket or a PFD?

Boating Girl Boating, fishing, camping and playing near water are among my favorite summer activities. My kids also love them. Last time my 5 year old son caught the largest fish. This made him very proud and happy - he was truly beaming!

As parents we should make sure kinds are safe when going on water or playing near water and close supervision is not enough. Is a Lifejacket better than a Personal Floating Device (PFD)?

Planting and growing your own organic tomatoes

Tasty Juicy Tomatoes Do you remember the tomatoes of your childhood? I do! Tomatoes used to be well ripen, juicy, tasty and most of them organically grown. Looking at the spectacularly looking but not very tasty tomatoes I find today on the selves of the majority of fruit and vegetable stores I wonder what went astray. Aren’t today’s producers and food chain stores ever inventive?

Eating fresh, well ripen, juicy and tasty organically grown tomatoes free of pesticide and herbicide has its own distinctive health benefits, especially for children. Moreover, planting and growing your own organic tomatoes is not that hard!
