My 8 bundles of slab wood were delivered today!! At $20 a bundle (delivered) I think we got a lot of wood for our money! :clap It feels so good to have it out there! It is a nice security 'blanket' for winter. I also like that it is there in case we should lose power and we have to cook all...

You might also want to find out what graduating with and IEP means for your DS as well. I was recently told by someone else, who's son has an IEP that he would not get a REAL diploma but a 'Certificate of Completion' when he graduates. My personal opinion: Some kids are visual hands on...

I didn't read all of what was wrote...sorry, I am a slacker!! The CAT test. EASY to do! I administer the test myself. I order it from Christian Liberty Press. $25 each, I think. You can also just take the test online. But if your kids struggle I would suggest taking the paper test. The...

This is our first attempt at breeding rabbits! I am hoping these three does are bred!! I am just hoping that the rabbit hutch is not going to be to cold for them this winter. The two lion heads cage can be put into the garage for the winter but I need some new cages for the meat rabbits if I...

My mom called me and asked me out to breakfast this morning so she took me and the girls to breakfast while DH and the four boys were at the men's breakfast at church. My mom's treat!! :) Then she told me that she saw the sign that one of the church's in town was having a rummage...

That sounds like a really neat idea KJM! I am hoping that once I get through some more of her clothes I will have some more colors to add. I also have scraps of fabric from some of the boutique outfits that I have made. Today we are trying to pick the rest of the garden and get ready to...

The Accuquilt actually worked great! I did not have any problems cutting out the pieces from baby girl's clothes! I did however find one problem...the quilt is PINK!! HAHA!! :lol: I think I only wore PINK on baby girl...haha...I KNOW that I only wore PINK on both of my girls!! What can I...

I am starting to feel a little more alive today instead of like death warmed over! I am going to spend the next hour going through baby girl's baby clothes and then I am going to go down to my mom's and we are going to play with our new toy! The Accuquilt GoBaby !! My mom tried to use it...

I had some grapes earlier and they were really good. I am calling this the 'Kiss Me Diet" 'cause if you kiss me you can lose 8 pounds too! :gig I got it by kissing baby girl!

I have lost 8 pounds in two days!! YAY!! :) Being sick as a dog!! BOO!! :( I have had terrible diarrhea! On the other hand I do have a clean colon now! :rolleyes: I will probably put some or most of the weight back on again as soon as I am able to start eating again. I sipped down a...

Kurtz on Shedd Road. I think there is some others there but we have not gone to them all. DH and I went to a couple other of the scratch and dent stores and I did not find them to be as good as Kurtz. But there is one on the Anderson bus tour schedule that I have not been to yet. I don't...

We had swiss steak over homemade mashed potatoes with home canned green beans so we popped open a can of the spiced apples and warmed them up and they were SO GOOOODDD with dinner last night! It felt like we were having dessert with dinner! YUM!! :drool

I have before but I like to have them as warmed spiced apples vs using them in pie filling because my kids are not big pie eaters. I can't remember what recipe I use last year though. I am sure I probably just looked something up on the internet...if Pickyourown.org has a pie filling recipe...

Nourishing Traditions sounds like a book I need to check out! We already drink raw milk, have our own fresh eggs, and eat what we can out of our garden. I just wonder what else we can do and this book will probably be a great resource to give some more tips!

I am not terribly upset that we did not get corn..disappointed though. We did get a LOT of beans this year for the first time ever and we do have some corn left in the freezer from last year so I will just be stretching the rest of the corn by eating green beans with more of our meals this...

It is slowly starting to slow down around here. Canning season is pretty much wrapped up because it has been so WET and COLD!! We are starting to get into a better routine with school now. We ended up not getting any corn this year because the week our friend's corn was ready we were on...

It has been crazy insane busy around here! Between school, canning, and vacations I am pretty much worn out! I went to Lehman's on Saturday (and several other shops down in that area.) I got a really nice french fry cutter and a cast iron waffle maker that was the special of the month. My...

I have been known to run my zukes through my food processor and shred it. My chickens inhale it that way!! I never have enough garden produce so I am not sick of harvesting yet at all.

Whew!! 62 quarts of pears DONE! 14 quarts and one pint of beans...being processed now! They are snapped and waiting on the pressure canner. 30# of tomatoes boiling down for spaghetti sauce! I would call that a productive day!! We did not get any corn though! :( I am not sure when we would...
