This is my 4th year to homeshool.... I have a 4th grader and one that began..."K". I use Abeka DVD's. These are great....some flaws, as with most things...but these really help. As a ministers family our schedule can get really weird...and homeschool is the only thing that works for us, at...

You got me...he sent me to a health food store to purchase, he said they would only be found there. They look like HUGE vitamin E capsules...(horse pills) They are in capsule form. Oh, the Vitamin E needs to be 400 I.U. I had never heard of this, and if it will save me another surgery...I'm...

Our grocery bill is large. Way larger than I would like. Prices are higher in this part of my state than in others....go figure, it's a poorer area, and yet they have higher grocery prices. My thoughts are: a majority of folks are on food stamps (this is not an exaggeration) and I think they...

I know...vitamins are not really what is classified as natural. But, this information is something I wanted to share with others. I was told by my doc. (he is a specialist) to take Vitamin E and Borage Oils everyday for one month. The point? He said in some women, it has been shown to dissolve...

:) All of mine have. Course, there's lot's of uses for just the 5 gallon bucket. But when accompanied by the lid, they are great to store bulk food items in. Glad this has helped others....

Hi, sorry I didn't check back sooner. Would love to share. 1st- My children are involved in church and all church functions...they are constantly meeting new people. Our children more so than others....we have youthcamps (multiple) we attend, as well as camp meetings, Bible Conf. (these are...

I never have pickle juice left over...I know...we love pickles! Went to a youth camp several years back and they were selling picklesicles....(sp?) In an ice tray, pour your pickle juice in (don't change anything) stick a toothpick in...freeze, then serve. It's crazy...but good. Like kool-aid...

Hi, I freeze my corn and this is how I do it. Shuck corn, de-silk it, place in boiling water for 2 minutes (make sure the water is 'boiling') Place on towels, with a fan blowing to cool quickly, then once cooled place into gallon bags. Also, I strip the kernals from the corn for whole kernal...

:D Hello, I freeze both, different ways. First I freeze my zucchini by shredding. I use it pretty much in breads and cakes only, anyway. My squash I freeze just like my okra. Slice squash...the sooner prepared after picking from garden the better. Batter it with cornmeal, seasonings, and fry in...

I homeschool my daughter, this year will be my sons first year. We use the Abekka videos. These work well, but my children do miss the social part...though we are able to make up for that in other ways. For now, we will continue. Hope you find your way. :D
