Taiwan Home Stay – Bramasole 埔里桃米民宿‧布拉姆索民宿

It has been about 4 years since the last time we travel as a big family together with our parents. I love bringing our parents to travel and want to do this as much as I can while they are still healthy to travel with us. 3 weeks back, we went to Taiwan, in particular, Taichung with the kiddos and grandparents. I chose to stay in a Home Stay and this was our first Home Stay experience in Taiwan with the entire family of 9. The idea of staying in a complete stranger family’s house made me nervous especially when I felt responsible if the experience was to turn out unpleasant. But my fears were unfounded.

Organic All-Purpose Cleaner – Safe, Save, Savvy

(*Scroll right down if you want to know what is meant by Safe, Save, Savvy :P)

I am sure many parents out there are fans of organic products ranging from baby food, baby detergent to home cleaning agents. Ermm… I am not yet an organic convert. However, I am doing it bit by bit though. That’s partly because the entire parent network group in YH’s class (remember I mentioned we had fun in Cool de Sac meet-up session? Yes, these are the parents!) seem to be organic product fans as we had an informative exchange on organic aloe vera gel after I complained about some mozzie madness bites on YH. Then it kept me thinking if I am doing my kids a disservice in not using organic products on them.
