    Homeschool law question

    My guess would be that they mean to keep them in public schools for 30 days. However, with it being a holiday season and with January starting a new semester, you could probably get away with not putting them back until you get approval.

    I have discovered new (old) appliance that I LOVE!!

    If anyone is still having issues with getting the cold shock method to work, try baking your eggs. This works particularly well with fresh eggs, since the oven will dry them out a bit.

    Homeschooling - day in the life.

    Right now, my little friends are still young (2 and 4), so we only do an hour or three a day. I usually give the two year old something distracting while go through mixed work books with the 4 year old.

    Composting with maggots

    Soldier flies aren't invasive like house flies, and I don't seem to have any house flies in the composter. I've been wondering if the soldier fly larvae eat the house fly maggots, but I dunno for sure.

    Wildcrafting.

    The woods behind my mom's house is full of overgrowing vines, so I go back there to get the neat ones off the fence. Usually these turn into dream catchers (assuming I can find appropriate feathers), or winter wreaths.

    Composting with maggots

    Actually, I can vouch for their awesomeness. We have a 90 gallon composter, and have filled it multiple times through the summer, only to have it mostly empty a couple weeks later. They handle everything besides bones flawlessly. By the time I scoop it out of the bottom, it's heavy with...
