Thanks Denim Deb. I thought I looked everywhere for that link too. I figured it had to be on the screen somewhere. Guess I didn't look hard enough!

This thread cracks me up. This is exactly what I've been dreaming about all day long. Dreaming about next year... Ahh, it's the easiest part of gardening. :lol: I have a few experiments planned for next year. And a to do list that is growing as I type this. 1. Order Seeds Tomatoes-Romas and...

Congrats on your new baby! She's a beautiful girl.

I started staying at home last April. It has turned out to be the best time of my life so far. Good luck to you. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have. I just want to say that I love this forum. What a great group of people. And, there are so many wonderful ideas in this thread.

Hey, my daughter is 9 months old too. And she's my first. I love to read to my daughter too. And yes, she usually ends up eating the book at the end :lol: Thanks for all the good ideas everyone.

My husband doesn't have a cell phone. When his students find out that usually freak out. :lol: I have a prepaid cell that we use when we go on vacation. Other then that it's my alarm clock.

I know this threads kind of old. But, I just wanted to say that I loved this book. I loaned my copy out to a friend and I can't wait to get it back. My books are like babies. At least the ones I enjoy. :) I too love the idea of life having certain rhythms to it. If I'm smart enough to slow down...

Hey, that's a pretty smart idea. I'll have to keep an eye out at the resale stores for a tiny loom. I use to have one when I was a kid. I wasn't really interested in it at the time. I don't even think I finished one potholder. I never would have though 20 years later I would be wishing I had...

All you guys are awesome :lol:

Whew glad to know I was making some kind of sense. I'm a historical re-enactor. Which seems to attract a lot of SS gentlemen. So I know that a lot of great homemakers are men. In fact, out of all of our friends one of the sweetest families I can think of has a stay at home dad. I keep trying to...

I know thats what I've been telling him. Plus I've got to bulk up so I can keep warm :lol:

So do any of you ladies cut your own hair. This kept falling under the "I like doing things myself but, I'm not going that far" category. But, as usual I went that far. I was wondering around on the internet late one night (this is always bad for me :) ) and I found this video...

Mmmmmm....I love pea soup. We usually make ours with dried salt pork. The seasonings on the pork get into the soup and aggghhh..*drool* My husband gets grossed out because I love to eat the fat. In fact I usually call it fat soup :D . When my husband has a snow day (he's a teacher) we always...

I guess I brought this all up because without this book I never would have realized that their are other people out there that live the way that my husband and I do. We are considered at best quaint and at worst "weird". At least were I'm from. Oh, and Thanks for having a newbie's back...

Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!

Great ideas everyone. My bag collection has been growing. We keep the bags in a bin on top of the fridge. It's getting so full when you open the refridgerator door bags float down onto our heads. It was starting to make me crazy.:lol:

Thanks for this one!

This book is not just for women. Men can be homemakers too. Here's the blurb on the back of the book: Mother Nature has shown her hand. Faced with climate change, dwindling resources, and species extinctions, most Americans understand the fundamental steps neccessary to solve our global...

Radical Homemakers is a book by Shannon Hayes. I purchase it over the summer. And I am still in love with it. I am continually going back to reread sections. I went through and highlighted a bunch of stuff. My husband looked at it and asked if highlighting was really necessary since apparently...

Sorry I'm new to this so, I can only tell you what I have. Which is: -A giant stock pot that I use as a waterbath canner -rack -funnel -magnet thingy- although I love the spoon idea and I'm going to try it next time -Tongs-for shoving stuff in jars -Jar Tongs -Quart and pint sized jars. Some...
