Balancing work and life means making time for work, making time for family and making time for yourself and when you choose a hobby you can find a way to express your personal interests. Other advantages include time to relax to reduce stress levels, a physical hobby can promote exercise and you can also find new skills and uncover hidden talents. You may also meet new friends, keep your brain sharp or make money. The benefits are endless.
Sometimes, the smallest of household tasks are overlooked therefore the New Year signifies a fresh start in the home and is the perfect time to tick them all off your list until the next year rolls around. Here are 10 simple but essential housekeeping chores you might not have remembered to do: 1. Rotate the mattress. Standard mattress guidelines usually tell you to rotate your mattress once every three months (some even sooner), but just doing it once a year is better than not at all. 2. Wash your pillows. Feather, down, and synthetic pillows should be washed at least once a year to eliminate oils, residue, dead skin, and dust that inevitably settle in the pillows and make them sag. 3. Replace your toothbrushes. If you don’t remember changing your toothbrush or toothbrush head within the last six months, change them all, including any toothbrushes you regularly travel with. 4. Replace worn towels, bedding, or linens. Now is a good time to take stock of your inventory and replace, repurpose, or give away any linens that are worn, ripped, stained, or otherwise unused, collecting dust in the closet. It is also a good time to reorganize your linen closet, whether by room, color, size, or season.
windows and doors will eventually fade from the bright, hot rays streaming in (even if it’s indirect light), so it’s important to spin them around 180 degrees (after you air them out, of course!) and expose the other side to sun for even fading. 8. Clean and oil your wooden cutting boards and wooden implements. Now that the season of gluttony is past us and your meals might be returning to a more manageable and normal serving size, give your cutting boards a good scrub using our all-natural solution, then oil them up to ensure they’ll last through the next holiday season. 9. Donate unwanted household goods. Gather up your unused canned goods, ill-fitting clothes, outgrown toys, obsolete electronics, and recent gifts you have a feeling you’ll never use, and drop them off at the appropriate food banks, charities, thrift stores, or electronic recycling centers. 10. Clean out your receipt drawer. To be prepared for tax time (and maybe give yourself a little motivation), clean out your receipt drawer to make room for new receipts. Toss out any that don’t apply to your tax deductions, and digitize the ones for major purchases (such as computers) for insurance purposes.
5. Refresh closet sachets, or make new ones. Cedar, lavender, and all other closet or drawer sachets lose their scent (and thus their effectiveness) within three to four months, so it’s always a good idea to refresh or replace them regularly. 6. Air out your rugs. UV rays are an excellent (and green and free) source of disinfectant. You can’t exactly throw a rug into the washer, but you can easily haul it outside, fling it over a railing (or on a clean surface), and give it a few hours in direct sun to air it out and kill any bacteria in the fibers. 7. Spin rugs near windows and doors so they get even sun fade. Rugs placed near

Live healthy with your own vegetable garden Wouldn’t we all love to cook with organic vegetables, but our busy schedules force us to buy not so fresh veggies from the local supermarket. Growing your own vegetable garden isn’t only a fun-filled activity, but also rewarding when you can cook out of your garden. We share a few tips with you to get that garden going: 1. Soil For most types of gardens, the perfect soil is a quality light loam made up of nutrient-rich organic matter and a composition of relatively equal amounts of sand, silt and clay. In general, the more organic matter the better. Not sure what kind of soil you’re working with? Simply grab a handful of moist (not saturated) soil and squeeze. If the clump falls apart as soon as you open your hand, you’re dealing with a very sandy soil; if the clump stays intact, then your soil contains too much clay. Loamy soils hold together to some degree, but crumble when poked; that’s what you want to see. Once the soil type is determined, you should run a basic soil test to determine its pH as well as the nitrogen, potassium and phosphorous levels. Many universities and extension offices offer soil testing, but home tests (obtained at your local nursery or online) are satisfactory. 2. Which is better – seeds or seedlings? It’s certainly easier to start your vegetable garden by planting directly into the garden, by-passing indoor seed starting and transplanting. However some vegetables take several months to mature from seed, so it’s just not practical to direct sow them in the garden where the growing season is short. That’s why, when it comes to long season plants like tomatoes, peppers and eggplant, most gardeners either start their own plants indoors or purchase seedlings
from the nursery. The choice between direct seeding and transplanting seedlings comes down to 2 basic questions: 1. 2.
Does the vegetable transplant well? Is your growing season long enough for the vegetables to mature when planted from seed?
Vegetables that are usually direct seeded: Beans, beets, carrots, corn, cucumbers, garlic, lettuce, micro greens, peas, pumpkins, radishes, squash, turnips and watermelons. Vegetables that transplant well: Basil, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, Chinese cabbage, cauliflower, celery, chard, chives, collards, eggplant, mustard, onions, parsley, peppers and tomatoes. 3.Garden VS Containers and pots You don’t need a plot of land to grow fresh vegetables. Many vegetables lend themselves well to container gardening. With some thought to selecting bush or dwarf varieties, almost any vegetable can be adapted to growing in a pot. Even if you want your favorite full-size variety, if you give it a large enough pot and plenty of soil and water, it will grow just fine and reward you with plenty. You can use soil in your container vegetable garden, but potting mixes are much better. Peat-based mixes, containing peat and vermiculite, are excellent. 4.No space? Do it indoors! Growing edibles indoors gives you year-round access to seasonal favourites.

Jean de Villiers shares tips on how to ensure a healthy new year “As a professional rugby player, it is very important for me to eat the right food and stay in shape,” says Jean de Villiers, Captain of the national rugby team and Resolution Health Medical Scheme representative. “Apart from the set meals compiled by our fitness trainer when we are on tour, I try to eat four to six small meals which include fresh fruit and vegetables as well as a balance of protein and carbohydrates when at home. Obviously I try to steer clear of junk foods but do spoil myself occasionally with a pizza. After all everyone deserves a treat every now and again.” According to de Villiers, eating foods that are low in calories do not necessarily mean you are doing the right thing for your body. “The foods you include in your diet need to be nutritious and provide energy that is sustainable. For example, when we are doing intense training I take some whey protein and glutamine supplements to help with recovery. It also assists me to be fresh for the next day’s training,” he says.
of golf requires anything between three and five hours of walking, translating into a good workout while doing what you love most. “Training forms a very big part of my life and in a normal week we would have six to 10 training sessions and then a game on the weekend. A typical training session would include spending time in the gym combined with on-field sessions. Each session would last anything from 60min to 120min and the intensity would vary,” says De Villiers. Healthy adults should ideally aim for 30minutes of moderate intensity physical activity per day, five times a week with the aim being to increase the resting heart rate for the entire period. This threshold is usually around 180 beats per minute minus your age, provided the individual is otherwise healthy.
De Villiers also highlighted the importance of exercise in leading a healthy lifestyle, particularly in light of a recent survey finding that 49% of South Africans do not exercise at all. “You don’t necessarily have to visit the gym five times a week to work on your fitness levels. You can incorporate exercise into your hobbies as well. For example, apart from my rigorous training schedule, I like to be active during my downtime by playing a round of golf with my mates and walking my dogs. In fact, an average 18-hole round

Be sure to get your sleep this year An increase in the amount and quality of 7-8 hours shut-eye should be at the top of everyone’s New Year’s Resolution list.
Benefits include increase in memory, learning, creativity, productivity, emotional stability and physical health. This is according to Doctor Jacques Snyman, clinical advisor for Resolution Health Medical Scheme.It can even help you to lose weight! Negative implications for one’s health if you’re not sleeping include: obesity, hypertension, heart and blood vessel disease and diabetes, as well as possible harmful effects on mental health.
Sleeping tips • Stick to a regular routine of going to bed and waking up at the same time • Incorporate a relaxing pre-sleep ritual into your daily routine. Examples include having a warm bath, reading a book or having a warm cup of herbal tea • Exercise daily • Avoid alcohol, cigarettes, coffee and heavy meals 2 – 3 hours before bedtime • Create a sleep inducing environment: dark, quiet and cool Thankfully, it’s a rather enjoyable activity to add to your New Year’s Resolution list and not hard to incorporate into your everyday life.

Rugpyn by tieners Rugpyn kom deesdae baie algemeen in skoliere voor. Daar is in 2003 `n studie gedoen op skoliere tussen die ouderdomme van 13 en 15 jaar, wat bewys het dat 50% van seuns en 70% van meisies alreeds rugpyn ervaar het. Daar is verskeie faktore wat rugpyn in tieners tot gevolg kan hê, bv. spierwanbalanse a.g.v eenrigting sporte (soos hokkie, tennis, krieket, spiesgooi, ens.) dra van swaar tasse, as mens oorgewig is, `n onaktiewe leefstyl, `n slegte postuur, ooroefening, ens. `n Algemene voorbeeld van `n spierwanbalans
is swak abdominale – (spesifiek die onderste stabiliserende maagspiere) en gluteusspiere wat aanleiding gee tot oorwerkte rugspiere, spasmas en gevolglike beserings. Van die mees algemene rugkondisies wat ons vandag in skoliere sien sluit in meganiese/ algemene lae rugpyn, skoliose, spina bifida en Scheuermann se siekte. Kinders met rugpyn kan lei tot volwassenes met kroniese rugpyn en daarom is dit belangrik dat kinders vanaf `n jong ouderdom af `n goeie postuur het. Skoliere se daaglikse aktiwiteite veroorsaak dat hul liggame onbewustelik
sekere kompensasiepatrone aanneem. Rugspiere moet harder werk a.g.v ander spiere (veral stabiliserende spiere) wat nie hul werk doen nie. Die rugspiere wat nou oorwerk veroorsaak postuurveranderinge en gevolglik rugpyn. Biokinetici beskik oor mediese kennis wat hulle in staat stel om rugbeserings te rehabiliteer, asook om rugpyn te voorkom. `n Evaluasie help ons om spierwanbalanse en postuurafweikings te identifiseer. Daarvolgens skryf ons `n geïndividualiseerde program voor wat oefeninge sowel as fascia
manipulasie kan insluit. Daar word baie druk op vandag se skoliere geplaas om te presteer en daarom spandeer hulle baie ure in `n gimnasium en op die sportvelde. Dus is dit baie belangrik dat skoliere hul spiere in balans tot mekaar versterk en sodoende voorkom dat hulle liggaamsbelyningprobleme ontwikkel wat kan lei tot rug- en ander beserings. Deur `n Biokinetikus te besoek vir `n evaluasie en rehabilitasiesessies, sal skoliere se kennis verbreed vir pynvrye en optimale prestasie. Danél van Pletzen Biokinetika | 021 872 2236

Healthy lunchbox ideas for school or work Have a healthy approach for lunch in 2014. It is possible to pack your child a nutritious lunch box that will actually come home at the end of the day empty and eaten. The AWSUM Kombuis shares a few ideas. Homemade Granola Bars Preparation time: 2 hours
Frozen Fruit Cups Preparation time: 30 minutes
The Cafeteria Club Preparation time: 5 minutes
TIPS: • •

1/2 cup peanut butter or sunbutter 1/3 cup honey 1/4 cup coconut oil (or another oil of your choice) 1 cup oats 1 cup total of any combination of: sesame seeds, coconut flakes, sunflower seeds, dried fruit, mini chocolate chips
In a medium sized saucepan, melt together peanut butter, honey and coconut oil. Remove from heat and add one cup of oats. Choose your favorite combination of coconut flakes, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, dried fruit and mini chocolate chips, to equal a total of ONE CUP. (I just got out my one cup measuring cup and poured in the ingredients until the cup was full.) Pour in and stir well. Stir well, then spread mixture into a 8×8 or 9×4 pan. Chill for two hours, then cut into bars. Wrap in plastic wrap for a quick grab and go snack!

2 cans crushed pineapple, undrained 2 packages frozen sweetened sliced strawberries, thawed 1 can fruit cocktail, undrained 1 can frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed 3/4 cup thawed lemonade concentrate 6 medium firm bananas, cubed
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Pour into foil-lined muffin cups or individual plastic beverage glasses. Freeze until solid. When ready to serve, thaw for 30-45 minutes before serving. (10 servings.)
Wrap: oven roasted turkey breast, low sodium ham, 1 slice crumbled center cut bacon, 1 tablespoon guacamole on half a whole wheat wrap and tomato mozzarella skewer (cut one lower sodium part-skim mozzarella stick into fourths and skewer with cherry tomatoes alternately) + 8 vanilla wafers.
Save the cheese for the skewers, and opt for tasty guacamole instead of mayo for the wrap. Slice the wrap into medallions and skewer on toothpicks for less mess at lunchtime.

Think about what your child likes to eat at home and try to translate that into a lunch box option. Vegetables are often overlooked in the lunch box. Try cutting up some carrot sticks or putting in a handful of cherry tomatoes. While the humble apple is a great lunch box filler (sturdy and hard to squash), consider cutting softer fruit up and putting it into a smaller container for protection. Berries and kiwi fruit survive very well this way. Dairy can be hard to include, particularly in hot weather. If you can’t safely get a yoghurt into the lunch box, make sure you offer dairy when she comes home from school. Last night’s leftovers in a container with a small spoon can make a welcome change to the parade of endless sandwiches. Try putting together a small picnic in her lunch box - slices of tomato, ham, grated carrot, grated cheese and some bread and butter - so she can build her own sandwich. Stick to water in the drink bottle - most juices are full of sugar and make the drink-bottle smelly. They also don’t do a very good job of quenching thirst. Homemade pikelets are a great snack - easy to make ahead of time, they’re filling and don’t require any extra toppings.

Back to school is cool! Met mannemoed en groot planne vir die toekoms het hulle die eerste dag van skool aangedurf. Ons AWSUM monitors het met ons nuwe Gr. 1’s gesels. Grace Wagner Grade 1E2 I am in Mrs Hutton’s class. I played a lot of games and received a lucky packet with sweets. I like my teacher, she teaches us nice stuff. One day I want to become a designer. Lineke van Zyl Grade 1A2 Ek hou sommer baie van skool. Ons het vandag liedjies gesing, geskryf en ingekleur. Ek sien baie daarna uit om nuwe maatjies te maak. Ek het ‘n baie mooi en gawe juffrou.
The First Day of School I wonder if my drawing will be as good as theirs I wonder if they’ll like me, or just be full of stares I wonder if my teacher will look like mom or gram And I wonder if my puppy will wonder where I am.

Beaumont Primary School
First day of school 2014! Our first day got off to a good start. The children of Beaumont Primary were very excited to back at school. There were no tears in the Grade 1 passage this year.
The Grade 2â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s were thrilled to see the beautiful wall murals in their playground that the teachers painted during the school holidays.
Sophie Christian and Lara Wilken got stuck into work right away.
The children are enjoying their new playground.
All the learners of Beaumont Primary were proud to be back at school to sing the school song for the first time this year.
