    What cirriculum do you use in Homeschooling?

    Hi there! We, too, homeschool with Sonlight and I have been using Story of the World for the past year and a half. I really prefer having the Sonlight readers and read alouds as extras to the history lessons. Many times the additional reading suggestions in SOWT include the Sonlight material...

    low intervention births ( carryover from BYC)

    I have had two wonderful homebirth experiences with babies we were never supposed to be able to conceive. I had so many lousy experiences with insensitive doctors throughout our infertility testing that I was not about to give birth in a hospital unless there was a major medical problem (we...

    Fels Naptha soap question

    Thank you! I figured there must be some drying out process, but I wasn't certain how long to leave them out. I need more detergent ASAP, so I will definitely be more prepared in the future.

    what gifts are you making this holiday season?

    I'm trying my best to use up what I already have...yarn for crocheting sweaters for the little guys, doll clothes and jammie pants out of fabric that has been taking up space for more time than I'd care to admit. I'm also trying to make a no-sugar cookbook with a few good stevia recipes for my...

    Ohio Roll Call

    Thank you! I just finished making my second batch of laundry soap ( I was lurking for a while) and now I'm scratching my head, wondering what to try next. I would really like to grow food for at least some of our livestock, but I don't know where to begin. Any suggestions?
