Stupid Tip of the Day: You Don’t Have to Clean Your Dishwasher.

This is not true. Cleaning your dishwasher is a must. It’s a place that is wet, hot and dark which is the playground for bacterias and fungus. Gross, right.
Pouring vinegar in the soap spot (tray) and running it empty, every so many weeks to months, can keep your dishwasher fresh and clean. Before running it with the vinegar wash, take a vinegar soaked cloth and wipe under the overhand of where the door lays down. That is a spot that is often missed and never thought of. You may be surprised at what you wipe away from there.

Family eating their breakfast sitting at the table
What are daily traditions exactly? Traditions are important; we all have them, like going to grandma’s for this holiday, the cousin’s house for that summer cook out. So Daily Traditions are, having something specific together ever day.
A lot of families are already doing this. And, it’s important because, having a structured daily tradition in your relationship, can help in continuing a long and healthy marriage and family life. Not only is the mental and emotional health, benefited by this, but it’s been shown to have benefits on physical health, as well. Couples that do a participating daily tradition, are more likely to have a better sex life as well.
So, where to start a daily tradition? Try dinner or even breakfast time, to sit and socialize with one another and share your day and plans for the night, week, etc. Make a rule to disconnect. No phones, computers or devices. It maybe awkward at first, but without devices, is how we were meant to originally, communicate.

Back to school- few ideas to “borrow†from teenagers
Photo Provided by Guest Blogger, Daniel R.
Years ago you were a cheerful teenager with passion for energy and party time, and now when you’re an adult version of yourself with lovely family and comfy house, you sometimes find yourself longing for good old times of constant fun and nonchalant lifestyle. It’s not that your “totally family man†life is less interesting and enjoying, but it’s about seeing your teenage kids living the life to the fullest and you being nostalgic about the time when you looked on the world through the pink eyeglasses. Well, if this looks like something going through your head these days, it is perfect time to evoke your high school memories by trying again cool teenage adventures:
Stay young at heart
While you’re relaxing in your comfy backyard armchair, go back to the times when you and your friends had a high school rock band and every weekend was only about gathering together, playing good old rock n’ roll hits and having hilarious party time. Instead of being lethargic and dejected, why wouldn’t you give a buzz to couple of your high-school mates and suggest them re-establishing of your old rock band. Wipe the dust from your old-school guitar, agree weekend “rocking sessions†and feel how the adrenalin warms up your blood again. Even after you’ve become a parent, don’t forget to keep your inner child as well.
Buy an old-timer cabriolet

Well, yes, you’ll invest a bit more money into this “teen-spirited†project, but when you sit into your laid-back -style cabriolet, turn the music on and feel the breeze in your hair, you won’t regret a single penny you spent on it. Give yourself 5 minutes of high-school fame, recall irresistible teenage vibe and hit the roads, Jack!
Camp beside the lake
Gather your friends and organize relishing weekend camping beside the lake, just like you did during your high-school summer holidays, with campfire, barbequing and swimming included. It’s never late to remind your wife on how she felt in love with you, and long walks alongside the lake, lovely moments beneath stunning sunset are just perfect opportunities for that.
Brighten up your life
Instead of letting your days pass in monotony and routine, better enter more light into your life and feel the charms of afternoon sun by spending more time outside. You can let the sun embrace your living space even when you’re inside, so while considering replacing the windows with retrofit double glazing in order to get more light and refreshed ambient, think like an adult, not a teenager.
Forget about worries
Worries are only causing you to get older faster, so forget about them for a while and live just for the moment. Why wouldn’t you do the first silly thing which comes to your mind? Paragliding – why not? If you think out, it’s better to pay for adventure which will realize your dreams and bring the joy into your life, than gambling the money in the casino – although even that has certain charms, as long as you’re not overdoing it.
Even though it was said so many times before, but regardless how many years you have- remember that life is short and it’s never too late to live it to the fullest even if it means reviving your teenage self.
