At the end of the summer holidays there is no denying that parents are ready to send their children to school. Summer vacations are always fun, but the constant stress of entertaining children can be a lot. During the eagerly awaited first day, parents and even teachers often forget all the germs associated with the return of things. The seasons are preparing for changes and the summer days are soon autumn weather: New allergies occur, different temperatures cause new colds and students sit in closed rooms.

It is important to start the school season by discussing some health tasks before they all start. Think of it as fall cleaning. Everyone is waiting for the annual spring spill cleanup, but integrating these requirements into the fall could allow parents to pay no serious owners and enjoy an uninvited PTO. According to the CDC, on average primary school children receive eight to twelve colds or flu cases per school year. For older children they need an average of four to six years. Teachers often refer to initial illnesses like the plague back to school. However, there are healthy habits that parents (and teachers) can teach their children to fight against germs. By teaching children to monitor potential areas of danger and hotspots, they are better able to avoid colds and other illnesses.

You need to add a few extra deliveries to this race and forge a day for the whole family to participate in this Preamble of Health Awareness. Before you send children to school, read these tips to avoid germs and the chaos of the cold.

Minimalist mother: The Swedish purge of death is a new trend in job cuts

DANA Brigandi / Correspondent Sun-Gazette Relatives Encourage the collectibles to spend sentimental pieces to family and friends to have the Swedish cleansing process of the dead. Now, by eliminating the confusion, it will be easier for your loved ones to look after your property and assets when they are in mourning.

Earlier this year, a book was published that caused a stir in the minimalist community for his ideas that changed his life and his ability to normalize a process at the end of his life.

Margareta Magnusson, "The Gentle Art of Swedish Death - Cleansing: How To Lighten Your Loves And Make Your Life More Pleasant , " introduced readers clearing out the process known as "dostadning" in Sweden . It is the idea to reduce and empty your business before others do it for you.

I recommend this book to anyone who has had to grapple with the inheritance of a loved one or the loss of a father or grandfather to ease the grieving process.

The idea is simple: dispose of your things now instead of leaving them to someone else. Therefore, older adults should now, step by step, slowly, with contributions from family and friends, start making decisions about their business.

Magnusson does not believe that "cleansing the dead " and talking about death is morbid. She points out that it is a fact of life and that she can avoid problems by talking to her family when she is no longer there. She writes: "The difference between clean death and simply clean is the amount of time - consuming clean blood is not dusting or cleaning, it is a way of cleaning" a permanent organization that makes your everyday life more fluid. "For the fans of Marie Kondo it comes to free your home of things that" do not cause joy. "

Encourage people to start with cool things like the basement, attic, and furniture before moving on to clothing and hobbies such as pastries or sports. Keep your family and friends up to date to get help and get the products you want, such as books and cooking utensils. This is the perfect time to ask parents and lovers to buy perishable gifts or the gift of experience, rather than buying another collection for the shelf.

Magnusson offers practical advice, for example, not to start with photos because they are too emotional. It also suggests that the age of 65 is a good time to clean up the death, but the process can be done at any age.

" I never thought that anyone would want to , or take the time with what will not care, no matter how much you love, do not leave them with that burden." She wrote.

She told a beautiful story about keeping baby's baby clothes in a box in the attic for a day to pass on to her grandchildren. When the grandchildren did not arrive, she took the box to " remind my lazy children what I wanted." It worked, and now I have eight grandchildren and I do not have any baby clothes in the attic. "

His advice, if you receive things that you do not want from anyone, is polite, but decidedly rejected: "No, thank you, I have no room for that."

His book is a quick read of 107 pages and contains three popular recipes attached to the book. It will be a great gift for the older members of the family to talk about the process of cleansing death.

I recently read an article in Forbes: "Sorry, nobody wants the things from your parents , " in which Mary Kay Buysse, executive director of the Association of Senior Moving Manager (NASMM), analyzes the issues. Families if they are reduced quickly. an older relative or a deceased parent. "The problem is that most of us have that our parents bought things that mass produced, they have no value, are so outdated, do not think they can find a good place to get rid of them." He said that it is now so difficult for two generations to simultaneously reduce their numbers: parents of baby boomers and baby boomers.

Life often throws us unexpected bullets, I never thought that I would consider the reduction until my dad dies suddenly in 2009, and leaving that burden to relatives leaves the bereavement process going on. , If you have something for a loved one, give it to that person and tell why it matters to you. Surround yourself with elements that will make you happy and work for your current lifestyle. If you start the Dostadning process now, it will be much easier for your loved ones in the future.

16 things you should never throw into the bathroom

There are certain things that you know you should not throw in the toilet (even if your children did not receive the memo, like the Lego Grand Flushing incident of 2017), but we owe everyone for any obvious choice We have not noticed that it would cause problems. Until we had to call the plumber ... and get this bill later.

Ad - Read below

To make sure your pipes are not clogged, here are the 16 that you should really avoid.

1. Baby towels

Yes, even those who say they are disposable. According to the company Sanitary Boulden brothers , they are often the cause of hooves and should always be disposed of in a landfill. Mike Agugliaro, owner of the gold medal service plumbing company , has also supported this today , taking into account that even "disposable" wipes do not disintegrate like toilet paper, which can cause plumbers problems.

2. Q-tips and cotton pads

Cotton balls, cotton swabs and Q-tips are not safe to rinse, do not break toilet paper (even cotton toilet paper) and, according to Boulden Brothers, they all make pipes and cause problems.

3. Menstrual products

It may surprise you, but menstrual items (tampons, tampons, etc.) should never be flushed into the toilet. Why? Because, as Agugliaro TODAY said, these products are meant to absorb water, not decompose, meaning they only expand when flushed, which means it's not good for your piping

4. condoms

Condoms are also not designed to break down in water, so they can lead to blockages in toilets and septic tanks after Agugliaro.

5. Diapers

Honestly, you should not even be able to remove a layer (such as menstrual products that are spreading in the water and the layers are probably already too big to drain into) but the chance you are doing It's good to broaden and catch your pipes. These are diapers!

6. Dental floss

According to Boulden Brothers, flossing can not only block the pipes but also damage the environment. And as Agugliaro explains, the thread becomes the network when it is pulled, captured and held back by other wastes - it can even wrap parts of its septic system and burn the engine. Uff.

7. Paper towels and handkerchiefs

You might think that paper napkins and facial tissues are not so different from toilet paper, but they are not meant to break toilet paper. If you need to use paper towels or disposable towels instead of toilet paper, Boulden Brothers recommends that you place them in the trash.

8. Medicines

If you have old pills, you should get rid of them, do not rinse them - the toilet has not been properly destroyed, which means that the drug gets into the water and can have toxic effects on the environment, according to Boulden Brothers.

9. cigarette butts

Speaking of toxic chemicals, that's exactly what the flushing of cigarettes in the sewers adds to the water, explains Boulden Brothers. Not to mention that it is a great loss of water if you can throw it away properly. And cigarette butts can also cause hooves, according to Agugliaro.

10. Sand for cats

Some brands of cat litter claim that they are disposable, but as Agugliaro has pointed out, most toilets do not use enough water to properly transport the waste to their pipes, and all they do adds more to the water, which make it more difficult to clean. Also, the cat litter must not be rinsed, as the sand dehydrates the waste and the toilet should eliminate water-soluble residues.

11. Hair

Like flossing, the hair forms a net when you flush it into the sewer system and hold it. In addition, it floats and never dissolves in water, regardless of duration, explains Agugliaro.

12th draft

As you can probably imagine, chewing gum does not break even in the water. In addition, it is sticky and can easily stick to the inside of your pipe and cause clogging. For this reason, you should always throw the chewing gum in the bin, so Agugliaro.

13. Boil fat

You probably already know that you should not pour fat into the drain for cooking, so it should be logical that this also applies to your toilet. According to Boulden Brothers, the cooking fat freezes when it cools down, which means it works in your pipes as well.

14. Fish

It seems quite normal that humans catch fish when they die, but that's not a good idea: they do not break down in the water, so flushing a fish or something in the toilet can cause obstruction. Agugliaro.

15. food

This might surprise you, because human waste is essentially broken food anyway, but the flush that has not been digested can also cause problems for your piping. Of course, it's biodegradable and will eventually disintegrate, but it can cause hooves until that happens, according to Agugliaro.

16. Bleach

Perhaps the most surprising thing you should not shoot is bleach. According to Agugliaro, bleaching is actually a chemical too harsh for your toilet and your septic system, which pointed out that instead of getting stains on the toilet with vinegar.
