  1. It's okay, a decent replacement for soy sauce. It did take me some time to adjust to the flavor though.
  2. I've been doing the uber frugal month too and that is helping me evaluate what goals we might have this year. Hopefully in the next few weeks my husband and I can get on the same page for financial goals. However, we are working on: -Emergency Fund- We are about 60% there and hope to be 100% by end of May. -Put another $2000 aside for house repairs that will be a must this summer- again hope to by end of May. -Vacation fund- Need more money so we can get out of here!! :lol: I will put in whatever I can when I can! In order for us to do these things I really feel like we need to be frugal as much as possible- but also not making my husband go insane!!
  3. North Dakota for Distance Education is NCAA approved and the families I know who use it like it. Some classes feel more rigorous than others but they can contact teachers fairly easy. I know a couple families who tried Nebraska and like North Dakota better, not really sure why though. I don't have much more information than that- my kids are back in school. Good luck!
  4. Yes and yes! In my cover letter, I highlighted my strengths and what I could offer to the position. And then hoped for the best! And it worked out.
  5. I like heavenlyhomemakers.com. Tons of recipes that are simple!
  6. We have found following the 50/30/20 budget guidelines the easiest to follow so far. Besides that, we do use credit cards for the majority of things. But, on pay days my husband takes out his allowance in cash and has that for 2 weeks. Since I do most of the shopping, etc. he just uses his for the times he forgets lunch, etc. He also does not carry his credit card with him- unless it is a day he needs to get gas. Otherwise his cc is at home. It took us awhile to figure out what works and what does not- but leaving the credit card or bank cards at home has worked. As others stated- meal planning and having emergency back up meals is important. One thing I heard of a mom doing is once she spends 75-85% of the grocery budget a month on credit card, she gets out the remaining 15-25% in cash in order not to overspend. I have not done that, but that is another idea to try. But overall it is will power to not overspend and stick with what you planned! Good luck!
  7. Yes, yes, yes! In 2 years my mom, myself as well as a sister have been diagnosed with Hashimoto's. Thyroid problems can run in families. I no longer eat gluten or dairy and it has helped me quite a bit but it is a good idea to know how your thyroid is functioning regardless.
  8. The only network I know that has that season is up tv.
  9. I enjoyed this show and house hunters, I am tired of all the flip or flop shows coming out...
  10. If you have a crock pot I like to use this website: newleafwellness.biz
  11. Our local high school requires biology and physical science and then a third science course. Freshman who enter who are going into algebra take physical science first, if they are entering going into pre-algebra they do biology first. Students can also choose the honors courses as well. So yes it can count!
  12. In a small outdoor storage room that is attached to the house.
