When I save them, the kids get them before me (and the wrapping paper tubes when we have those). The first thing they always make is binoculars w/ them, or a telescope w/ a few taped together. They also tape a bunch of them together (w/ empty oatmeal containers and other various boxes) to...

Yes, I made the liquid kind a few years ago and it was a thick gel.

Well, I'd like to apply to for that job! I think I qualify! and LMBO at your description.. esp. the pocket knife one as we had an incident just yesterday, and my xray vision kicked in! LOL! That darn supersonic hearing though.. that keeps me from getting a deep sleep, as I hear every squirm...

awwww! Glad you're getting a day of rest in! mine was last Sat or well, now I forget what day it was. It was a down pour kinda day... and well I just did bare minimums that day... and sat on the computer the rest of the day. But see when I do that, I feel guilty.. and then do extra work...

Even with your forewarning.. I did NOT see the bear! Oh Nooooooo! I've failed! I got the passes right though, does that count for some? I do watch for cyclists though! Now I'm wonderin'? Maybe it's lack of sleep? Yeah... I'll blame it on that! :D

Oh I miss Waffle House! We ate their often when we lived in GA... it was next to DH's work. I fall into "what's lunch?" category today. Got too busy w/ inegrating new chicks that I forgot about it. Just ate a handful of cheez-its. Not very satisfying!

I came across this site today www.kidsprintables.com there are alot of free printables. But on the site, left side of page, there's a link to 200 free things for kids. This is great! There are links to websites that offer free posters/stickers/craft stuff/ educational stuff...etc.etc.etc...

I"ve seen those before. In fact, just recently I saw some for sale (and other various "wrappers" bags) I forget where? I wonder if it was when we went to mall of america? My thoughts when I saw it was, that'd be cute for a girl scout project! They're always having juice boxes w/ snack at...

hehehe.. your stress free friend sounds like the type who criticizes other people's parenting, when they have no kids of their own... then you see them 5 -10 yrs later all frazzled w/ kids running everywhere and don't have a clue as to how to handle 'em! :lol: That perfect parent, as long as...

I just got my grandma's pressure canner from my brother yesterday. (grandma passed away about 7 yrs ago) and inside it was her canning book from Kerr, copyrighted 1938. There was also another one from 1972, which is my mom's. I thought it was neat to see the older one! So now I'm adding my...

Natalie (The Simple Life) from here on out, when I see your name, I'll envision you sleeping on a bed display! :D That's funny, I've certainly wanted to! I love reading everyone's posts! It opens me up to new ideas of ways I/we can help in our own community. I'd like any suggestions...

I let all my magazine subscriptions run out when we moved here. I was trying to get rid of clutter. I enjoyed curling up w/ a magazine as they come. But I know I can find the stuff online! :) I don't buy too many books anymore. It's easier to read online b/c I can tell the kids "I'm...

I have a couple pics of my new puppies listed on my "myspace" page. Just click on "pics" under my profile pic (a chicken) and then click on the folder for "pets" (I think) www.myspace.com/heathersfunnyfarm

Oh I have a kitchen tip!! :D If you have a dog, have him/her clean up the floor/chair after your young child is done eating! :gig We just adopted two 5 mos old puppies (a little over a week ago) and I tell ya what, those two pups save me alot of work! I despise after meal clean up from my...

mostly likely disaster around here would be getting snowed in from a blizzard, and we're so far out in the woods, w/out 4X4... it takes several days (or a week or more) to get the roads plowed out this far. Then we live on a private road, which doesn't get plowed. Other things that happen...

oh, I love that idea! I'm going to mention it locally! That's wonderful! We do the PTO fundraisers also.. I used to be a PTO member, but that really got to be TOO much. (ours is very active) Even though we homeschool now, we still help w/ the fundraisers (help plan and we provide...

A newsletter we recieved from Time 4 Learning (the online curriculum we use for one of our sons) jI thought it was interesting to share. Not all children/families fit the cookie cutter mold that school's in their area can provide. What it really all comes down to, is doing what's best for your...

LMBO! That's hilarious!

We do pre-teen dances for two different towns around here. We were asked by local law enforcement a few years ago, about the idea. In one town, the teen drug/pregnancy/ and dropout rate is sky high. (that's where we were approached about doing them) The other town is the "good kids" we don't...

We bought ours about 5 or 6 yrs ago, and I've never regretted it. I had the same concerns as you. How it has helped me, may be different than for you though. We have 5 children, and I do bulk cooking to save time. I portion out meals, and freeze. When we were both working full time (plus)...
