  1. Nasonex / Nasacort spray -- They are OTC now. They can take a while to have an effect, though. Saline sinus rinses or saline sprays Nasalcrom There are prescription nasal antihistamines that don't have the same side effects (such as Patanase). They can taste unpleasant, though. Allergen block gels: http://smile.amazon.com/Little-Allergies-Allergen-Block-Kids/dp/B00DSOSCZK/ref=sr_1_1?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=undefined&sr=1-1&keywords=little+allergies http://smile.amazon.com/Chloraseptic-Allergen-Block-1-Ounce-Packages/dp/B001BNQVC6/ref=sr_1_8?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1408889598&sr=1-8&keywords=woody+knows Wearing a mask when outside Keeping pets out of the bedroom, and cleaning room and bedding regularly. Perhaps changing out the pillowcase nightly. Changing air filters in the house frequently Good luck! I dislike antihistamines, too : (
  2. Here's my egg pan, sized for a single egg: http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00462QP3Y/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1 As long as I use it just for eggs and keep it well seasoned it does great as a non-stick! They come in larger sizes, too. I've used ceramic coated pans before. It worked pretty well in the beginning, but the coating broke down quickly and was fragile. I wouldn't buy one again unless the technology improves a lot.
  3. Opalka comes to mind. You might want to look at determinate varieties so your crop matures at the same time. You might also check the garden web forums: https://www.google.com/search?q=canning+tomato+opalka+site:forums.gardenweb.com&client=safari&rls=en&biw=1903&bih=989&gws_rd=ssl#q=canning+tomato+site:forums.gardenweb.com&rls=en
  4. We're having a blast watching old episodes of The Office. The Pink Panther movies with Steve Martin are pretty funny.
  5. From those, I'd go with Caleb, Henry and Isaac. But, I'd have lots of fun first with category 2 : ) Congratulations on your triplets -- I'm sure you have MANY adventures ahead!
  6. Quesadillas Grilled cheese sandwiches white beans heated with olive oil and herbs de provence chili mac pasta with butter, cream and a bit of parmesan greek yogurt and honey homemade bread and butter nachos pancakes scrambled eggs
  7. Breakfast Club PowWow Cocoa Council Cocoa Chat Family Forum Morning Parley Sip&Talk Family Huddle Sip Session
  8. Take him in tonight. I would be worried about a urinary blockage. Or trauma.
  9. For history and science combined, we loved the Connections videos. Monster Black Holes was also fascinating.
  10. Why don't you ask her why it was a favorite? She may have many uses she could pass along. I agree that sandwiches (grilled cheese and paninis) are what comes to mind. Maybe bacon.
  11. Another vote for Hydro Flask. With ice, drinks stay cold a long time!
  12. Perhaps you could frame it as inviting her to an extended stay at your house -- maybe 6 months. Maybe suggest it to avoid her staying alone during the winter. By then she might not want to leave. In her mind she would still be independent because she hadn't given up her house. Alternatively, would it be an option to arrange for separate housing on your property? A mobile home or "tiny house"? Then she could have her independence and your garden, too.
  13. Trader Joe's has dark chocolate covered cocoa nibs that are very small and only 1 calorie per piece, but pack a surprising chocolate punch. If you love chocolate they make a nice low calorie way to treat yourself.
  14. Ava Jetta/ Jet Maxine/ Max Roxy Remington/ Remy Scout Nakita
  15. You can do it at home relatively cheap (here's just one option): http://smile.amazon.com/Victorio-VKP1144-Electric-Ice-Shaver/dp/B00EDHOML4/ref=sr_1_20?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1404311002&sr=1-20&keywords=snow+cone+maker
  16. You might like The Best Cook Ahead Recipes cookbook from the editors of Cook's Illustrated magazine. The recipes are reliable, and you could prepare earlier in the day or even days ahead.
  17. Perhaps one of these opportunities would appeal: http://preservehawaii.org/volunteer/
  18. Maybe vietnamese yogurt? http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Vietnamese-Yogurt-355520
  19. It's been quite a few years, but I really enjoyed the Seattle Underground Tour. Cool and funny! https://www.undergroundtour.com/about/index.html
  20. Here are some more for consideration, then.... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HNKAROY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006YZCIOQ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A395S6X1W3J59R http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AWJPLBW/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I0PXER8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_5?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0093ZBS7M/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A395S6X1W3J59R
  21. If you are looking for less expensive dresses, Amazon has some good prices and some of them offer free returns in case it doesn't work for you (look for it near the price). Here's one idea: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I4JMQNI/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=3TA2HBBZS1834&coliid=I115KCSX5ED79A&psc=1 For another print (there are several): http://www.amazon.com/Connected-Apparel-Womens-Watercolor-Floral/dp/B00IAEWLAK/ref=pd_sim_a_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=10C9T6MN2ZD6ZQ39HEFJ
  22. Can the FASD aide concentrate on the violent child for those short rides?
  23. Yes, I see that now upon rereading your original post. You don't sounds at all condescending about unschooling to me in your post, and in fact acknowledge that it can be a great fit for some. Maybe you could expound upon that, and add why classical education is a great fit for your kids. Some people accomplish much more and are happier when organized and structured, and some are unhappy and stifled by it -- different styles for different personalities and different goals.
  24. I am a bit confused by this situation -- I'm sure it is much clearer from your side! An unschooled child, who is essentially in charge of his own education/quest for knowledge, is asking someone with knowledge for more information .... and you are looking for ways to avoid giving it to him. He doesn't sound fragile, and has in fact already shared his opinion this his style of learning is better. The boy may in fact be thinking ahead and wondering if he wants to study math, or music, or history (or whatever!) in order to further his future goals. While I would personally advise giving the information in a neutral manner (no hint of which style is "best"), I can't imagine he would be harmed by knowing why you value a classical education, and he may be helped if it motivates him to pursue more knowledge on his own. I think the bigger question is whether it would harm your relationship with his mother, as parents can be very defensive about their choices.
