An Amazing Sailing Documentary

Have you ever watched a documentary that made you feel compelled to do something? A couple of years ago I watched Maidentrip. It's about Laura Dekker sailing around the world by herself as a teenager. 

After this documentary I started sailing lesson and it has been amazing! There is no peace like the peace you feel on a sail boat. There are no motors, only the peaceful sounds of the waves splashing against your boat. 

I often think about the feeling of sailing when I'm having a stressful moment. Remembering the rocking of the boat and the peacefulness of it all brings a calm over me. 

If you can afford it, I would highly recommend taking private lessons. This way you get to spend your entire time learning and enjoying the quiet of the ocean :)

Avoiding a Diaper Rash

TheLittleBear had a diaper rash I couldn't get rid of when she was a newborn.

The only thing that worked was washing her bum in the sink with soap
every time she pooped and then applying breast milk to her bum.

I would have a small container for bum breast milk in the fridge and use that 

throughout the day. Breast milk is seriously magic! 

Did you know there is a difference between refined and unrefined coconut oils?

I didn't know this until I happened upon this info while watching a cooking video.

Refined coconut oil doesn't have a smell or taste, but unrefined does.

I started off buying the Spectrum Refined coconut oil. But because it was 

pricier, the next time around I bought the cheep stuff (unrefined).

Boy oh boy was the a mistake. It smelled like coconuts, but not in a good way :)

This stuff is amazing for moisturizing babies and preventing diaper rash. 

It also doesn't have a taste when you use it to cook so it's great to use 

when cooking food for your little ones!
