Call me what you will but, I can see a movement spearheaded by the powers that be to disable our kids. First, they pump them full of chemicals via vaccines and frankenfood, creating hoards of obese, autistic, ADHD kids which are then pumped full of more chemicals to combat the symptoms of...

Ask around at your library about home school groups or even if they would like you to run a program during the summer. Our library offers a summer reading program and every Friday morning they have a speaker come in. Good luck! I know if you were in my area, I would arrange a date for my home...

I like the cattle panel idea but after much thought realize we need something a little taller to ward off deer as well. I think we've decided go with 4x4 posts(instead of metal t-posts) and a 6ft tall wire deer fencing. I will make sure to use a come-along or something of the kind to stretch...

We're going next Saturday to pick up all necessary materials and finally put up a fence around our garden. We want something sturdy, that will last a long time. It looks like we'll be fencing a 30x40ft area. I need ideas and input from ya'll about what you've used/seen/dreamed about to make a...

I have used Rose Geranium oil with success in the past. We used to live on the edge of town and the lots next to and behind us were vacant and severely overgrown. I was picking ticks off the dogs and kids daily. The oil helped repel the ticks to a degree. I also second the guinea idea. I...

I'd direct him to the nearest Waffle House!!

Got our refund a few days ago and paid off the car today!! :weee Got out from under a $215 car payment that will now be snowballed(thank you Dave Ramsey) towards the credit cards. We unfortunately had to use them for living expenses last year when DH lost his job. It's not too bad...only...

I will have to try that Dawn! I was going to buy tomato juice and try it but forgot to pick it up while out yesterday. I like the added boost of honey.

2011 was a crazy tax year for us! DH had 6 months of unemployment then made a huge jump to $22/hour!! I only brought in 7K for the whole year (part-time and seasonal work), add in our 3 lovely tax deductions and we qualify for the EIC too. We're getting back $3600. $200 is going to fix up my...

My tonic has been brewing since January 16th and I decided to give it a taste since I've been hacking and coughing for over a week now...gotta say, wow!! The initial vinegar taste was awful but it quickly dissipated (like in seconds) and the burn in the back of my throat was wonderful. It...

I just finished the free course thru www.learningherbs.com It was simple but informative and when I signed up for notification for their herbal kit I received a free PDF book, Nourishing Herbal Infusions which is amazing!! It gives instructions for how to make an infusion and a small list of...

I make black bean burgers by mixing a can of beans(drained and rinsed and mashed) in with .5-.75lbs of ground beef. I add in an egg, bread crumbs and spices(Montreal Steak seasoning). I can make 5-6 burgers from that amount the the family LOVES them!!

Marianne, I've been to their site before and just never saw the free course!! Thanks :D I like the kit they offer too....may have to splurge on it to help get me started.

We shop at thrift stores and I know my hubby gets embarrassed sometimes if I buy clothes but that's just his own snobby prejudice!! The kids have yet to protest and my oldest is 13. She looks at it as getting more clothes for her dollar and at least where we live, wearing trendy clothes or not...

I got my batch brewing a few days ago!! Can't wait to give it a try as spring ALWAYS brings on sinus congestion. Do I need to shake the jar periodically during it's brewing period??

100K Taoist?? That must be one fancy looking degree!! I agree that most certifications aren't worth the paper they're printed on and thankfully I'm not looking for that kind of program. I don't need to stinkin' piece of paper!! I just want to find someone who has studied herbs and can teach...

My DH and I grew up in the suburbs with parents who wanted to keep up with the Jones family. DH's parents were lower middle class and they lived paycheck to paycheck with disconnect and shut off notices weekly. I lived upper middle class, always had nice, new clothes never went without. My...

I have been doing a little "soul searching" to figure out what direction I want/need to take my life. I kinda lost me for a while there amid the kids and hubby's activities. I need to rediscover things that make me happy and return passion to my life. I have always be interested in medicine...

I'm new to dehydrating and am attempting baby carrots. I got two 5lb bags for free from work today and as we already have a bag in the fridge knew they'd spoil before we could eat them so into the dehydrator they go!! Yeah for free food!!! :ya
