I used some syrup jugs (very thick 'n heavey plastic) to turn into scoops. It was from syrup concentrate stuff to make slushes/drinks. I got them from my old work. I used to take all the garbage from there to recycle into new things! I LOVED the ice cream tubs. I used those for projects for...
editing this b/c I thought it was what "CAN'T" you live w/out... oops...
hot water,soaps (shampoo, laundry soap, dish soap etc) toilet paper, and refrigerator.
I'm sure there's more.. but that's the essentials that I can think of for now.
I've heard of the diva cup also... haven't been...
I've never followed a recipe for spaghetti sauce. I just sorta dump stuff in a pot and cook it. lol! There are so many different flavors and consistencies, it really depends on what you like. Sometimes I use Italian or spicey sausage for a meat in it... sometimes I use ground beef. I cook...
I was searching online for a hand pump well that can be used alongside a well pump. I came across this site www.survivalunlimited.com Anyways, Great water storage supplies there, and info. Many other supplies you can order as well for emergencies. Mylar bags for food storage, also the...
Speaking of hunting.... I saw this grotesquely hilarious movie last night. If you enjoy hunting (movie is about deer camp) or if you've ever travelled through "da U.P." (Upper Peninsula of Michigan) then you've got to see this movie.
It's calld "Escanaba In Da Moonlight" (At least I...
That's what I used to do for cinnamon rolls that I made for a restaurant where I used to live. I'd actually put them in the refrigerator (overnight usually) to thaw. Then early in the a.m. take them out to rise. I supposed you could probably just set them out all night to thaw and rise? I...
LOL!!!
If you've found something that's right for your family... you can't go wrong! If it doesn't work out, you can always change your mind later. A good friend of mine homeschooled her children from k-8th grade.. and is now putting the older two into a creative arts school new near them...
Oh my son had his first home grown friend egg for lunch yesterday. We adopted two silkies two days ago, and the beauties laid the following morning (and today too) Our other chicks aren't laying yet... so it was sort of our "first egg"! (not the chicks though)
I'd never seen an 8yo enjoy...
Many years ago I had a large mass of scar tissue in my abdomen (from a laparoscopy to remove a grapefruit size cyst on my ovary). You could see the scar from abdomonal ultrasound, and x-ray. The Dr's said there's nothing they can do about it. It was painful when I moved certain ways b/c of...
I don't know why I haven't posted my cost savings homeschooling links before?
Here is a homeschooling co-op for curriculum and resources. They offer different specials all year long. www.homeschoolbuyersco-op.org (I hope that's right?) They offer discounts on books/CD's, online...
In our state kindergarten is not mandatory (yet) but we heard recently that it is going to become mandatory. i'm not sure if that's this year, or next? But when we pulled the kids out of school mid year last winter, the Sherrif's deputies came out to question my son's absence, not my...
COgirl... care to share your chorizo recipe? :P
For our family, I consider our most self sufficient meal to be any and all that the kids prepare! That means, to me, that I've taught them to be self sufficient enough to feed the whole family. My 8yo son, w/ high functioning autism, LOVES...
Well, we're happier, and much less stressed!!! I feel healthier? I just don't look so hot in a bathing suit anymore! :/ But DH still says I'm "hot" so that helps! I don't get nearly as many stress headaches and migraines. The kids are more secure. When we were gone working all the time...
