    hair care?

    I soak orange peels in vinegar for about a week and then use about 1/4 cup of vinegar mixed with about 1 cup of water- swish together and pour all over hair, let sit on hair for a couple of minutes and then rinse. The citrus helps to control frizzy flyaways. I have read that you could add...

    hair care?

    I have oily thick hair and haven't used shampoo or conditioner since November 29th. I just do the baking soda paste and then I do a citrus vinegar rinse.

    Christmas music/tree.....lets chat.

    I may sound like Scrooge BUT I think Christmas shouldn't Start until December! Each and every year we skip Thanksgiving and move straight to Christmas. I hate the commercialism of Christmas too. Christmas should not be about stuff, but about love. Stuff cannot replace love. We will put our...

    What about using venison for making dog food?

    It is so easy to process- I did my first this year by myself. The average rate for processing is around $75 here. Are you going to can it? There is a lot of people I know that can dog food with deer and other meats too. They often add veggies to it and process it.

    We Felt Our First Quake Tonight

    I didn't feel it but the tremors were felt just 30 miles away! I was too worried about the tornados! And then I wake up to a mud-washed yard and decided to read about last night's weather. Crazy huh? Dirty rain, tornadoes (there was one 3 miles from my house!!) earthquakes, hail, straight-line...

    Opinions....Clothespin Bag

    It is cute! :) I prefer a bag to go over my head and use an old apron. Have you considered selling them on etsy? Seems like something that would sell rather well.

    What did you do to MAKE money today?

    listed some coupons on ebay and sold some eggs. The coupons don't make a ton of money, in return I buy coupons to save us money. So it all works out. :)
