Another Canning Question Re Jelly and Sugar
Kanga replied to eaglei's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Ball makes a No sugar Needed Pectin. I have done some playing around with it and our favorite way is to sweeten it with a fruit juice concentrate and about 1/2 cup of honey: http://premeditatedleftovers.com/mixed-berry-jam-sweetened-with-honey/ -
I am looking for a computer game for my son. He is in kindergarten but reads. I don't need it to be educational (definitely don't want math/phonics type) but I do want it to be stimulating. Do you have any recommendations?

Is Appomatox Court House worth the trip?
Kanga replied to momofkhm's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Have you thought about combining it with a trip to Montecello and Montpellier? We stayed at a campground near Appomattox and visited all three. -

Tips for growing my hair longer
Kanga replied to nukeswife's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I usually only cut my hair once a year. I don't get split ends, but I also do not color, perm or use a curling iron on my hair. I rarely blow dry it, so I don't do anything to damage it. (swimming in chlorinated water is hard on it too). Really the hardest part is just not cutting it! Most people are so accustomed to getting their hair cut, that they just have a hard time not doing anything. -
I was like this before I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid. My dd was also like this, but I noticed the signs and got her to a doctor. We are fine now that we are medicated. My husband is like this when stressed and sleep deprived.

If you were disconnecting your internet...
Kanga replied to myfatherslily's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I homeschooled my oldest without the aid of the internet and I am actually finding it a distraction for my second child. I used the library a lot and I met with other homeschool moms IRL and we discussed what was working and shared resources. -
Your mother sounds very similiar to mine and I would absolutely never put one of my children in her care! I say to my mom, "I am sorry, but that will not work for us" as many times as I need to before politely saying goodbye and hanging up the phone. If necessary I let my best friend, the answering machine, answer the phone.

Here is a recipe for scalloped potatoes: http://premeditatedleftovers.blogspot.com/2009/09/improved-scalloped-potatoes.html If your kids don't like peas, you can skip them, but still add the basil.

Reading question for the toddler age
Kanga replied to jillian's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Two of my children have gone through an active phase where they have not wanted to sit still and be read to, so I just read to them like a library lady. ;) I let them color, snack, or play while I hold the book where they can see the pictures (if they choose to look up, which they usually do) while I read.
