My Toddler’s Cavities | our Silver Diamine Fluoride and Surgery experience
May 28, 2018 Cavities. There is so much conflicting information out there about what causes them, what prevents them, how to treat them and even if they can be stopped or reversed. I’m going to share my son’s journey, including his experience with Silver Diamine Fluoride treatment. Hopefully this can help or comfort someone going through the same thing.

School Bus or RV | Why We Bought a Bus
You might be a bit confused at this point, so if you have no idea why someone would say School Bus and RV in the same sentence, go check out my other post What is a Skoolie? first. Now that we’re on [relatively] the same page, let’s get into it. Naturally, when I tell people my big dream, they respond with “But, why a school bus? And why do you want to travel?
