It seems to me that they can't see the forest for the trees. They get so caught up in the "daily requirements" and the little nutrition facts on the package that they can't see that the quality of the food is horrendous. Just because the nutrition facts on the food is the same speaks nothing for the quality of the ingredients.

:iagree: I have a cousin that is like that too. When her kids were babies they had a bottle of hand sanitizer in every room. Both of her kids have asthma and multiple allergies. I, on the other hand, believe in letting kids get dirty. If they pick up a chip that landed on the floor and eat it I do not freak out! Kids will be kids and that is the kind of stuff they do. That being said, I am a nurse and do use hand sanitizer at work but I still prefer soap and water.

I read somewhere that you could grind grains with it. I just ordered the ninja ks 1100...if you order from their site and use coupon code ninjamaster for 16% off and if that one is expired try register4 for 15% off. I looked high and low for the most versatile machine I could. I was looking for something I could purée stuff and grind rice and oatmeal for baby cereal sine I am going to make my own baby food this time around.

Have you hear of the "hygiene hypothesis"? It suggests the we as a society are too clean, giving the immune system nothing to do hence the rise in food/environmental allergies and asthma. My kids immune syystem should be plenty active :) I nearly have to hose them down after they play outside. I also do not own a bottle of hand sanitizer.

I have PCOS too. I took metformin to conceive my first but it took a long time. My second was conceived on the first round of fertility meds and now I'm expecting my 3rd who was a complete surprise! There is hope! -
Anyone else hate being outside?
melissad2 replied to Tracy's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I don't really like being outside. I don't like being hot or cold. I do it for my kiddos though :) -
Because it gives me the freedom to.... Go where I want when I want. Teach my kids in a way that it individulized and works best for them. I can keep politics out of it. We can go on vacation in March. I can call a teacher workday if I want :) I don't have to worry about someone hurting my kids. I don't have to worry about someone giving them chicken nuggets if I didn't pack a proper lunch. :leaving:

I actually have both... We sell cars and I have a minivan and a Tahoe. I love love love my Tahoe but I drive the minivan more. It's easier to get the kids in and out of and easier to load groceries in it. We use the tahoe mostly for pulling our camper to TN and it is very comfortable for travel.

Financial situation...help, please!
melissad2 replied to BakersDozen's topic in General Education Discussion Board
:iagree: In fact, I had to do just that when my son was born with a heart defect and sent to the NICU and then flown to a children's hospital. The insurance company denied ALL of his claims because they said we needed "preapproval" for the services he received:confused:. OK...we didn't expect him to be born with a heart defect and sort of had other things on our mind in the midst of it all! They eventually paid everything but our deductible. -
This kind of thing really gets me angry and reinforces my decision to homeschool. I really cannot believe they are inspecting children's lunch boxes! Send your kids to PS and give up the right to decide what they eat! If I wanted my kid to have hershey bars and coke for lunch it is not up to them to decide for me what is okay for MY child to eat (not that I would allow that). They tell you what to dress your kids in, what to send them to eat, what kind of backpack to put their books in, what to kind of pencils to use....and the list goes on and on. Maybe I have an issue with authority but gee whiz! I birthed these kids and I will make decisions as I see fit. Public schools are WAY overstepping their bounds!

For me it would depend on how close we were to going home anyway. I would hate to have 4 more days left on vacation and leave then get home and everyone was well. Although barfing kids in a car doesn't sound like much fun either...

Digitals are not as sensitive as regular pregnancy tests. I've never had bad luck with First Response and it's a pink dye test which rarely give false positives :)

What does the Hive think of vow renewals?
melissad2 replied to SunD's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I say do whatever makes you happy and don't worry what everyone else thinks. That said, I were to renew my vows I would do it on a beach somewhere with just my dh and my kids.
