Thanks Beekissed!

Washing soda and baking soda are not the same thing. The Washing soda is made by Arm and Hammer and is sold in the laundry isle near the borax. We only have one store here that sells it. It comes in a yellow box. I can post a picture if you need one.

Wanda - Thanks for the welcome! I love this site :love everyone is so friendly and helpful OkieMommy - I totaly know what you mean about the additions coming in. They have built 3 by us since we bought our place 2 years ago. It was all ranches and farms. Most of them over 100 acres, but now...

OkieMommy - We are in your neck of the woods! I am so excited. Thank you soooo very much for the links. They realy help. :clap We actually live in south Logan county. No one can decide if we are Guthrie or Edmond. The two cities want us for money but don't want any responsibility for...

Happy Anniversary! :clap

Cetta - Congrats! :hugs We are all eager to hear the u/s results. :D I have a neighbor who has the side of the house green house going on as well. Last year and so far this year she had greens (several varrieties of lettuce and spinach) as well as turnips all winter long. Her husband used old...

OkieMommie - sounds like you have been very busy! When is it safe to plant early veggies? Is March too early? Where are you in the state? I am just north of OKC (a friend calls it the center of the universe . . lol) so we are kinda on the border of zones 6 and 7

Homested Jenna - What is a garbage soup jar? Do you save left overs and make a soup later? Sorry if it is a silly question, kinda new to all of this. ;)

Just 6 months ago my little family of 5 generated enough trash to fill both our colletion cans every week! :hide Now, just yesterday, my DH pointed out the kids and I that we have forgoten to set the trash cans out the past two weeks for colletion. We only have one 3/4 filled. Wow! We...

Today, my little 4 year old daughter helped me wash dishes. We do them by hand now, and she was on the step stool doing the rinsing and puting them in the dish drain for me. She said "Momma, arn't I a good princess? I do my best at all my chores" with just this great little smile. She was so...

Thank you, Prairie for the welcome. OkieMom - how did you get the soil to a workable state - where you can plant? How early can we start seedlings inside and transplant outside? I am ready to have success . . I have tried, unsuccessfully, for two years. Then my DH, who is clearly wiser...

I am praying for your mom, step-dad and siblings as well as you, your daughter and that puppy. :hugs

ooh PrairieGirl I am so excited to read your journal! All of that sounds so exciting I think I will learn tons from you :weee What part of the country do you live in?

I am totally new (don't have them yet hehee) to chickens. We have 2 dogs - a sheltie mix that is almost 15 and a blue heeler/aussie mix that is 13 months. They are both outside dogs and with us getting chickens in the next month or so I was wondering . . how will I train them to not eat the...

I think that everything will be fine.:hugs Take deep breath, a hot bath and just remember that you have a great support network of information here.

How funny . .My husband would totally do that! We do have a problem in that we just bought our house 2 years ago, and while the value hasn't gone down it would take us too long to sell it and only being 2 years into the mortgage we wouldn't get enough to pull it off! Besides, we just figured...

I have just aquired some of the books. They are hard to find if you don't want to buy them new at full price. I am starting them next week, reading them outloud to my kids. My boys have done a great job 'adjusting' to our new take on life (from the city to being much more rural). They are...
