Beekissed, if I could give you 3 reasons, would that help? 1 ~ Alleviates boredom. Sometimes you're the only one around, or it's late, or you are just finished with other things. 2 ~ Helps clear the mind, and let's you "re-set." This one I use it for. I work, and work, mostly on the computer...

ParsonsWife, it's so good to see you here! :coolsun

Hmmmm, I was going to wash my hair this afternoon when it got hot (Double duty: clean hair, and cools you off! Plus, it dries faster!). why don't I just use this? Let's see....eggs, check! Olive oil, check! Lemon juice, check! Apple cider vinegar...uh, oh, I may be out. I wonder if rice vinegar...

Excellent recipes, thank you! :)

Hi, Parsonswife! :frow Chcknrs, I don't use pickle juice to make my pickled beets, I use a very simple mix of vinegar, water, sugar, and bay leaf, and now often add a couple of pea sized pieces of dried ginger (not candied) and a couple of cloves. However, I have put eggs in the liquid when we...

But remember, the plastic breaks down out in the sun like that, and makes a terrible mess. I think metal cans....sans lead...would be a better option. And metal can have a beneficial effect on the plants, as a bonus. :)

What a cool idea! Good job! :) Something came to me, looking at the demo. What if one used a pretty crib? The kind that the side slides down. I wonder if that would be the correct level for reaching in to milk easily. Now you've got me thinking, as we have been putting off making a milk stand...

Here's what I learned: Where the essential oils I've used are from botanicals, fragrance oils can be synthetic. In itself, at this point in my desperation, that's not a problem. However, the use of carrier oils, is. Apparently carrier oils are vegetable based, by and large, and some of the...

Hi, FarmerChick! Yes, I've used vinegar, and like it, though I have more often rinsed with lemon water. I use a large tumbler with some juice in it, then at the time to rinse I add water to it, and finish my hair with it. Thanks for taking up the challenge! :) Hey there, AmyQuilt! Yes, it...

And boy is it ever! Here is the background: I make my own products all the time, but this just has me stumped. I moved from commercial shampoos to natural shampoos a very long time ago. Then, due to some health issues, and formula changes, I had to go from natural shampoos, to homemade ones...

Thanks so much for the recipes! I make a lot of my own things anyway, and some of these sound really good! :)

TheChickCrew, what type of goats do you have, and are they primarily pets? What type of feed would they be eating otherwise, specifically? What else do they eat? I, too, have goats, and have had for a long time. My usual herds have been various Alpines, Nubians, and local "brush" goats, plus...

Sure there is. Several of my coffee drinking friends drink coffee from Hawaii. They really enjoy it. And, next best, are companies which buy beans from cooperatives in Latin America, etc. which are organic, shade grown and fair trade. Then they roast and blend the beans here. Actually, if one...

Cute frogs in my garden.

I honestly don't think politics, especially in an election year, breed friendly discussions or feelings. I'm answering the question before; I'm sorry. Yes, I enjoy Yoga. TPBM ~ What's your favorite homemade product?
