Talk to me about Sourdough Starter...
flobee76 replied to Angela in GA's topic in General Education Discussion Board
here's some info! Have FUN! http://www.kitchenstewardship.com/2010/03/01/monday-mission-make-a-sourdough-starter/ -
can you put a splash of bleach in the wash? I try to avoid bleach in cleaning, but I always have some on hand for linens. You could also try sunning the towels, or baking soda in the wash and white vinegar in the rinse cycle.

In need of a good diet book/program
flobee76 replied to A home for their hearts's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I was going to suggest Weight Watchers as well. It helps me keep things in perspective. :001_smile: I follow a Traditional diet (Weston A Price, Nourishing Traditions, Real food, Eat Fat/Lose Fat etc.), so it really helps and I do feel best when eating real food and not "fad" food. I don't eat anything fat-free or low-fat either or fake-sweeteners. All real food, good fats. -
I believe that it will be out sometime this summer. :) http://alivinghistoryofourworld.blogspot.com/

We are wrapping up Vol.1 and have thoroughly enjoyed it. The style of writing has kept our little ones engaged and the illustrations are just beautiful (IMO). We used the student journal (I need help when it comes to notebooking) and DD (1st grader) loved it. Like the PP stated, DD made this book her own and it helped her retain a lot. DD is a HUGE reader so, I have supplemented for each chapter. She reads during quiet/rest time or other times during the day. I have used the Beautiful Feet literature lists and the lists from Turning Back the Pages of Time. **We love it so much we plan on using Vol. 2 & 3 (and 4, 5, 6!)

I don't think it is harsh at all. It has to be fixed either way. Our DD broke a bowl last year, after I told her several times to stop sliding it across the table between her hands. She didn't listen to me. So, it slid off the table and broke. I told her it was coming out of her allowance. 6 years old... and I don't think it was harsh.

No Soda Bought With Food Stamps?
flobee76 replied to My3Boys's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I think that is just dandy. -
:grouphug: I haven't read the other posts. WE are going thru this same thing. Except... it is going to cost us about $5k to visit DH's family. Ugh. Just ugh. DH's family is in Western NY. They expect us to come visit b/c we live in CA, and people in CA are millionaires. :glare: MIL is not doing well either. DH's siblings have not made the best financial decisions... so... it's up to us now. DH's sibs have kids, ALL much older. WE are the ones with the littles... but are expected to travel. Gee, thanks. I hope you can convince your DH to go by himself. That is what I am trying to do...

Metronome - any recommendations?
flobee76 replied to tammyw's topic in General Education Discussion Board
we have an oooooold wooden metronome that we bought second hand when I was very little, my parents gave it to me when I got the piano. Maybe you could find one on Craigslist or ebay? I don't know anything about the digital/electronic ones. -
When to order next year's curriculum?
flobee76 replied to kristamaranatha's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
I wanted to order everything last month, but I've been searching high and low for used items... it's taking a bit of time now. :) I hope to have everything by the end of June. -
This happened to my friend's son a few years ago... he was only 13. WARNING: Faint of heart, do not scroll down. His parents found him. It was an experiment. He was only supposed to choke himself until he passed out (via hanging)... he was even video taping himself to show his friends later... tragic.

Refrigerator in garage???
flobee76 replied to soonermomma's topic in General Education Discussion Board
we used to have one in our garage, then gave it to a friend in need. We never had any problems with it being in the garage, even in the heat of summer. We now have an upright freezer in our garage and it's so GREAT! -
Favorite Books for Little Children
flobee76 replied to meggie's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I love any book listed on the Ambleside site for "year 0". Another list to look at is in the book Honey for a Child's Heart. -
I love photography, would love to improve on some skills. I also love to sew, knit, crochet, and cook/bake. :001_smile:

Mild deodorant recommendation?
flobee76 replied to Melissa B's topic in General Education Discussion Board
this is SUPER easy... you cannot mess it up! I make my own. VERY easy, mild, and YOU know what is in the product! http://www.passionatehomemaking.com/2008/03/update-homemade-deoderant.html -
I use Bare Minerals make-up which has a natural SPF. I also use their sunscreen (a powder) that is SPF 30. We've never had burns using that. It is amazing and doesn't sweat off. :D

I am a "basics" type of gal when it comes to cloth diapering. I don't like the fancy diapers, because... well... they are POO HOLDERS! Here's what I had in my basic stash for newborns: 2 dozen unbleached Infant-sized prefolds 1 dozen fitteds (Little Lions brand) at least 6 covers (I like Bummis pants and wraps) at least 3 Snappi's 2 small wetbags for the diaper bag 1 large wetbag for the Sterilite can in the garage baby washcloths for wipes squirt bottle (like the free peri-bottles from the hospitals) filled with water and a drop of babywash for the wipes for washing, I soaked the diapers w/ a capful of Biokleen Bacout. Then did a HOT wash with.... DAWN non-ultra dish soap, then 2 rinses. (we have a top-loading washer) :D
