I am a part time Emergency Room nurse. I love my job! LOVE IT! I almost wish I could be working full time. Unfortunately, I am not young enough, anymore, to work that job full time. It really can be draining, both physically and emotionally. I am also a homeschooling mama. I work...

Anyone from northcentral Louisiana or southcentral Arkansas? I saw on page two that someone posted from Northern Louisiana, but s/he only posted once to the site and that was back in July. Just curious if anyone else is around?

Does the faux down do the same? I am allergic to down :(

Thanks for all the replies so far. I will be calling someone in for an inspection next week. We don't currently have the access to cut our own wood. Something for next summer, I guess. We will have to purchase some for this winter. A poster above mentioned burning pine? I had heard you...

We are in Louisiana. There is a bill going to the state, but at the moment they can not participate on sports teams :(

We won't be doing this anytime soon, but I bookmarked it. They said it could be modified for a house.... not sure if that would be true for the size of my family, but hey, ya never know ;)

When do you start your school year? We started the week after Labor Day. We usually start when public school starts. But we had a rough year last year (new born twins) and continued schooling until the end of July. So, we took all of August off and didn't start until after the holiday. Is...

We have one of these in our house and sadly have never used it. We are wanting to use it this year. Is it really economical, since the blowers run on electricity? We really have no idea where to start? How important is getting the chimney cleaned? How does the flue (sp?) work? How much...

As much as my DH is on board to want to become more self-sufficient. Unless we were really desperate, he would never down size that much. I would love it though ;) However, if the economy ever gets as bad as the big D, we will definately be looking to go along those lines.

Beautiful is in the eye of the beholder ;) We live in north central Louisiana, almost in Arkansas.

I don't cook from scratch, not yet anyway. I am hoping to get there in time. At the moment, we are prepping our yard for chickens and garden. Starting this weekend, I am going to start on a weekly menu. My current goal is to reduce the number of trips to the grocery AND cook more frenquent...

We are using Oak Meadow for the boys (ages 11 and 10). I purchased it for my daughter (age 6), but she isn't really jiving with it. So for her, I am still using their outline. However, I have had to supplement the actual material.

I would go with the school lunches at that price. I don't think there is anyway to pack and do it cheaper. But if I had a child with food issues, I would still pack. As far as cloth diapers, I always used cloth for our first 3. I loved it! With the twins, we bought cloth. But a month...

I was directed here from a member of backyardchicken forums. We are a homeschooling family of five (ds11, ds10, dd6, and twins 1) looking to become more self sufficient. We started there looking to add chickens to our backyard. With the current economic crisis, DH is finally on board with...
