We are reading thru "Living History of our World" books by Angel Odell. We absolutely love them!! http://www.angelaodell.com/a-living-history-of-our-world-history/ I do add some living books for free reading. Have you looked into Beautiful Feet history guides? That might be something that your DD would enjoy.

I am on there!! Add me. Same user name as on here.

I had an Oster for years, and I was burning out the motor with all the new green smoothies I was making. Then, the glass carafe broke so we decided to upgrade since the motor was going as well. We bought a VITAMIX. It was the best decision. I make smoothies at least 3 times a day. That thing can blend to no end! My fave smoothie: big bunch of organic baby spinach frozen mango chunks (from Trader Joe's) water + ice melted extra virgin coconut oil blend till smooth. YUMMMMMM

Ugh, I wish I was in shape... I feel like slug going thru her workouts! (but I can see a little muscle definition!! I have a lot of padding to burn off)

May I ask, when did you order it? I heard that in recent weeks, there's been issues. :confused: On a lighter note, how do you like the workouts?!?! I did her 30 Day Shred and am working through Ripped in 30. I love JM.

I want to order, but am worried about some issues I read online about problems with shipping, bad customer service, and even credit card issues? Anyone experience this? How long did it take for you to receive your order?

Such a tease! I checked my local listings and didn't find it there. :angry: :)

I've never had a C/S before, but I have left my family to give birth in the hospital. My parents live nearby, but I still wanted to make things easier for them. Yes, have some meals made up in the freezer. If I were you, just make your kids' favorite casseroles and freeze them. Some things I like to have on hand: homemade chicken pot pie homemade chili homemade pizza dough lasagna and other pasta bakes banana bread blueberry muffins homemade waffles or pancakes (make a big batch and freeze) As for activities, I think that providing $$ for the local zoo would be nice, or children's museum. Money for gas? Sure, why not? As for food for them? I dunno, can't they just eat what you have in your house? Are there dietary restrictions?

First of all, is sounds like he needs a lot of healing on the inside! The viruses hit him hard, probably because he is a smoker. :( My dad was a smoker and quit probably 30 years ago, and he STILL can get hit pretty hard when he has a cold. If he can quit that, it would be the bEST! Anyway, he also needs some gut healing. I would suggest the GAPS diet, but it's a big commitment. Or, you can take some simple baby steps. Here's something that we follow from Heal Thyself http://heal-thyself.ning.com/notes/14_Steps_for_Healthy_Guts Some supplements that we take to stay healthy: Fermented Cod liver oil/High vitamin butter oil (Green Pastures Brand) Dairy kefir and water kefir When a virus hits, we do the above plus: homemade elderberry syrup zinc

We own 8 chickens altogether. They are amazing little girls. 4 of them are about 3 years old tho, so their egg production is slowing down. Once they stop, we'll have to give them up and get 4 or 5 more chicks.

I haven't seen it either. My county libraries have them, but there are like 150 people wait list. A friend of mine in another county got them for me from her library. We had a Downton Abbey Season 2 marathon this week. You should check your library!!! P.S. it's SO GOOD. ;)

I'm on Diaperswappers and never had an issue :confused: Anyway, my suggestion is to REALLY kill the bacteria. Oxyclean doesn't kill bacteria. You can do this a few ways: 1. Cold soak with Bac-Out, then a hot wash with Dawn Non-Ultra dish soap, then a couple of rinses. or break out the big guns: 2. Wash bleach and Dawn Non-Ultra. Can you sun your diapers? I would REEEEEEALLY recommend that, especially if you are dealing with a possible yeast rash, the sun will kill it. Plus, the sun gets rid of stains really well. Can you switch to prefolds? Some kids are sensitive to pockets. Also, I heard that some kids are even sensitive to Charlie's.

:grouphug:

I use wooden or bamboo with my S/S pots and pans. I own All-Clad and I don't like to see scratches. :D

yes! The only "real scones" I've had here in the US are from English Tea rooms. Wonderful! Wait a sec.... so how DO you pronounce scone??:confused:
