A Happy Day in the Life of an Oma

Reef Indy (2 yrs. 9 mos.) and baby brother Coast Oak (almost 10 mos.)are starting to play together much better. That makes watching them so much easier.

Reef Indy (2 years - 9 months) experiences his first real balance bike ride while camping.

Camping Trip at Lake Perris State Park

The family had a super fun time on their first camping trip at Lake Perris State Park in their new used camper.  As the photos below attest to; 100% outside time was a hit.

The untended areas of Lake Perris may seem rocky and barren at first glance, but an amazing variety of natural wonders are waiting to be found by those who seek them out. The predominant plant community, coastal sage scrub, is home to a variety of birds and wildlife. Mule deer, roadrunners, bobcats, coyotes, cotton tail, jack rabbits, quail, gopher snakes, and rattlesnakes may sometimes be seen by day, though they tend to shy away from people. More frequently seen are a wide variety of lizards, rodents, water fowl, and birds of prey. Beautiful displays of wildflowers occur during the rainy season- generally November through April.

Lake Perris is ringed by various hills and small mountains. The coastal sage scrub community is predominant on the south-facing slopes of the Russell Mountains and Bernasconi Hills and is characterized by shrubby plants including desert encelia, brittlebush, sagebrush, black sage, white sage, buckwheat, and cacti. Conditions are somewhat shadier on hillsides that face north or northwest so that chaparral plants such as chamise, penstemon, and--caution!--poison oak are apt to be found. Remnants of the original perennial grasses that once flourished in this region can still be found in the flat interior of the park surrounding the lake, but the majority of plants that now make up the valley grassland community (including Russian thistle) were imported from Europe by early settlers. Riparian areas near springs and seeps, and on east and south lakes include willows, cattails, elderberry and nettles.

Dancing Toy Duck with Flashing Lights and Music #DancingDuck

Oma always likes to have a new toy on hand when the grandbabies come over for a visit. I love this toy’s bright colors. Its movement and music keep toddlers entertained for quite a while. While the box states that the toy is not for children under three, with supervision, it is great with younger kids also.

You will need a screwdriver to install the three AA batteries (not included) – a negative in my book. However, Oma understands the necessity to make changing the batteries more difficult, in order  to make the toy safer for young hands. Another negative is that there is no volume control and the toy is quite loud.

Nevertheless, this dancing, hand and body rocking, duck really does stimulate and engage my grandsons – cute toy.

SYB Wooden Poster Frame to Shield EMF Radiation #SYBPosterFrame

Shield Yourself from Harmful Radiation With Art!

 

Radiation from wireless communication, including wifi, baby monitors and smart meters have been linked with many negative health effects, including cancer, infertility and insomnia. The World Health Organization designates this type of radiation as a Class 2b Carcinogen.

The back of these poster frames are lined with a special polyester coated material woven with gossamer thin metallic thread that forms a shield that deflects EMF radiation. What does that all mean?

I am not too sure, however it works much like a faraday cage. A faraday cage is a grounded metal screen surrounding a piece of equipment to exclude electrostatic and electromagnetic influences.

Here are the Six Primary Types of EMF:

• 1. Static Electric Fields: These are made up of static electricity caused by ions released from synthetic materials in your home. When combined, they can make you feel unwell, which underscores the importance of choosing natural materials for your furniture, cabinetry, flooring and other building supplies.
• 2. Residual Magnetism: Most often this occurs from metal in your bed, which can change its magnetic field. Your body sleeps best in a constant magnetic field, rather than one impacted by metals. (If you hold a liquid-filled compass over your sleeping area, north should always be north; a spinning compass signals residual magnetism).
• 3. Power Frequency: This includes the wiring in your walls, electrical outlets, extension cords, lamps, and other electricity sources. They produce electric fields that essentially turn your body into a large antenna and interfere with your cells' ability to communicate with one another. A bedroom disrupted with power frequency is especially unhealthy to sleep in, as cells cannot regenerate properly, potentially leading to insomnia and other diseases.
• 4. Power Frequency Magnetic Fields: These are caused by building wiring errors and also when power lines to your home run underground near your sleeping area. An electrical panel box located on a wall near your sleeping area or even a refrigerator or TV located on the other side of the wall from where you sleep can also lead to power frequency magnetic fields.
• 5. Radiofrequency/Communications: This includes a broad range of cordless phones, wireless devices, cell phones and cell phone towers, all of which can interfere with your health.
• 6. Radioactivity (and its byproduct radon) : Radioactivity enters your home from building materials (such as granite -- one-third of the granite in homes is radioactive) or radon gas coming up out of the ground.

Light and sound are also part of the EMF spectrum, so if you're near a highway or airport that surrounds your home in artificial light or excessive noise, you can also be impacted by that, although this is less common than the EMF sources listed above.

The Elegant Syb Poster Frame can be hung horizontally or vertically. It is very sturdy and well-made. Oma loves when a product serves more than one purpose!

The SYB Poster Frame makes it super simple to shield your body from unwanted EMF radiation from wireless devices like WiFi routers, baby monitors and smart meters. Simply put in your favorite art, and hang on the wall to shield against this harmful radiation.

EMF radiation from wireless devices has been linked with many negative health effects, including cancer, infertility and insomnia; the World Health Organization designates this type of radiation as a Class 2B carcinogen.

Now you can shield yourself from this harmful radiation with art!

Hang the SYB Poster Frame in your home, office, or anywhere you need to shield deflect up to 95% of EMF radiation (60dB at cell phone frequencies, and at least 40 dB from 100 MHz to 18 GHz). Is there a smart meter mounted outside your living room? Or a wifi router just on the other side of your bed? Just hang the SYB Poster Frame to reduce your exposure to EMF radiation.

Our Poster Frames use well established science-- the back of each frame is lined with a special polyester coated material woven with gossamer thin metallic thread that forms a shield that deflects EMF radiation, working much like a Faraday cage.

• It reduces the inflammation.
• It is safe and gentle around implants.
• There is nothing better for cleaning around orthodontic appliances.
• It gets deeper into the pocket than string floss.
• It removes plaque.
• It is easy to use.

The Water Flosser has been evaluated more than 50 times since its introduction in 1962. Clinical findings for reducing bleeding and gingivitis are supported by positive outcomes from more than twenty clinical trials, many of six months’ duration.

The Sterline Counter Top Water Flosser comes equipped with ten water pressure settings, so you can find the right setting for the sensitivity of your teeth. I found the tongue scraper tool very interesting and perfect for removing bacteria and debris off the surface of your tongue. 

The package contains a Water Flosser, three Standard Nozzles, a Tongue Scraper; a Orthodontic Tip, a Pocket Tip, an Adaptor Cord, and a User Manual. However, this flosser is so easy to use, you really do not need the manual. I use my Sterline Counter Top Water Flosser every day and it is really helping with sensitive gums.
