Allergy-Proof your Home

My kids have allergies and if not attended, it eventually leads to asthma. It has been like our endless combat towards healthy living for our children. I feel so helpless everytime it happens. Even when I knew what triggers them I still feel miserable. Going to clinic and taking all medicines given, would only help for a very short time. On a side note, I made a lists from every doctors we've consulted about their suggestions on allergy-proofing our home.

Change beddings once a week;
Use mold and dust free cover and pillows;
Clean floor everyday with dump cloth;
Vaccuum (with HEPA filter) at least once a week;
Wipe surfaces, furnitures, etc with dump cloth at least once a week and never use feather dusters;
No to furry stuffed toys, choose washable cloth like stuffed toys and wash it regularly like twice a month;
No to pets and avoid contact to pets (Blaze found another home);
No smoking. Never allow relatives and visitors to smoke at your home and premises; and
Change and wash cloth upholstered furnitures regularly (once a month).

I just found very helpful tips related to allergy-proofing home.

Mario Blasts Off for another Out-of-This-World Adventure

In 2007, Super Mario Galaxy took the world of video games by storm. Now this first true Mario sequel in years re-energizes the franchise with new levels and new power-ups. Plus this time Mario gets to team up with his dinosaur buddy Yoshi, who adds new possibilities to the gravity-defying game play. It’s everything you love about the first game and more.

Mario collects stars as he travels from galaxy to galaxy. Every level is new, but the game retains the charm, sense of wonder and beauty in line with Mario’s history. Mario works his way through the various levels, sometimes upside-down, sometimes floating from place to place.

On some stages, Mario can find an egg, smash it open and hop onto the back of Yoshi. Yoshi can use his tongue to grab items and shoot them back at enemies, or to snag attach points and swing across chasms.

Yoshi has an interesting diet. When he eats a Dash Pepper, he gets so hot and frenzied he can run up steep inclines and vertical walls. When he eats a Blimp Fruit, he inflates like a balloon and floats to new heights.

New power-ups include a drill that Mario uses to tunnel through the planet’s surface all the way to the other side of a planet.

Skilled players will want to collect new Comet Metals, which will unlock harder levels with even more challenges.
