The dermatologist recommended SAL3 bar soap. It has helped my ds and dd with their back acne. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DQBMXE6?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00

Beyond FIAR would be good for your 5th grader!
My dc loved Easy Simulations Pioneers. It's like an Oregon Trail game I played in school where you face obstacles and make decisions as you ride along the trail. You keep a diary of the adventure. http://www.amazon.com/Easy-Simulations-Information-Skills%C2%97-Understanding/dp/043952220X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1455225542&sr=8-1&keywords=Easy+Simulations+pioneers
When my ds hit high school, he wasn't interested in unit studies or working with his sister so for 2 years he worked independently or with me. I'm glad I gave him a chance to grow up on his own. This year, I'm combining them again for history, logic, and literary analysis (Windows to the World).
I have the Easy Simulations American Revolution and Civil War books I plan to use with my dd in high school. I'm also going to have her read through a bunch of the American Adventure series books. I think I have about 30 of them. I realize these are below high school reading level, but I really enjoyed the flow of history when I read them. Plus, they follow a family through generations, which is fun! http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_0_15?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=american+adventure+series&sprefix=american+advent%2Caps%2C272 She'll study primary sources and documentaries for American history too. I just thought I'd share a way I plan to incorporate a unit study feel to high school.
ETA: We're all interested in architecture so we may study European architecture next year which I would count as a type of unit study.

We use an antennae for regular tv.
We use a Roku box for Amazon to purchase shows and watch free ones on Prime.
We use the Roku box, pay $20/month for Sling TV, and are very happy with it. It isn't perfect and sometimes glitches a bit, but my dh likes watching sports and my dd and I like HGTV, Food Network, and some of Lifetime (Project Runway). On those 3 channels, we can go back 3 days to watch shows so it works a little like a DVR.

Our whole family enjoys Face Off - a competition tv show about special effects makeup. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004L3OSAU?ref_=aiv_dp_season_select
(Be careful of the painted bodies episodes, usually one or less per season.)

Praying right now for your dh's surgery! Please remember to eat and drink. You need to take care of yourself too! :grouphug:

Please don't worry about it. Consider that you gave it a try and it isn't a good fit for you. Now you know to look for other things!

You may want to walk through your house and take photos or videos. I did that one afternoon with a video camera and just opened every cabinet and door.

I try to write sermon or study notes in blue pen and my thoughts in pencil, so it's easier for me to find the notes.

My dd and her older friends love Mafia, Minute-to-Win-It games, and spoons. Have fun!

Day-long date with my hubby :001_wub:
My friends and I take each other out to lunch for our birthdays and my dd says I celebrate all month. Yep!

I don't think tests are necessary at that age. Let him go back to loving science!

Thx so much for this thread! I just got the last 6s at this price in my county. Yay! Very excited for the larger screen.
Congrats! I'm excited about the larger screen too. And the camera. I hear it's awesome.

Thanks, I'm going to try to get one as I'm still using an Iphone 4 and my dh has an old iphone 5 to turn in...
ETA: They didn't have any in stock anywhere near me so I didn't get the gift card, but the store was able to order one for me so I'm thrilled to get a new phone for $1.

We made a similar decision 2 years ago. It was worth the pay cut for the benefits and job security.

Muddy Buddies made with coconut oil instead of butter and Ghiradelli semi-sweet chocolate chips. This is my dd's go to treat to bring to parties. Our neighbors have requested she bring this treat every New Year's Eve as they like it better than the traditional recipe.

If you can in any way afford to go, I think you should try. You don't have peace about staying home right now. I'm sorry for your loss.

I had a neighbor next door who claimed they were broke and was constantly in crisis. I bought groceries. My dh gave his expensive golf clubs to her dh. We tried to bless them even though we didn't have any extra money at the time. Later, I found out they owned a home in another state that they were selling and had been consistently contributing monthly to their kids' college funds. Our dc didn't have college funds because we couldn't afford it.
I felt taken advantage of, so I understand a bit of how you are feeling. But then, I had to remind myself that while we had less financial resources, I felt blessed. I'd rather have my life of contentment than hers of crisis.

Thanks for sharing an update, Denise. Your openness has helped me to be a more understanding friend to those in similar situations. Praying for your family, especially your son.
