I didn't post last week, so I'll catch up. I read My Man Jeeves, by p.g. wodehouse. Loved, loved and loved it some more. I will definitely be reading more of his work soon. I am currently reading One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp and I am loving it! She is a beautiful writer (almost poetic).
I will also be beginning (or attempting lol) Ahab's Wife this week:001_huh:
Wish me luck!

So how would one go about preparing to stockpile their supplies? What foods to keep? What supplies? Websites that elaborate on this are what I'm looking for! thanks

That was hilarious! So funny

I have loved this thread! I have a whole page full of ideas! Now I'll have to worry about making too many free and cheap things lol! So inspiring :) I'll definitely be making the tents and coupon book and on another thread a lady gives her kids a box of sugary cereal all to themselves. Since we don't eat it, they'll think they have died and gone to heaven:tongue_smilie:

Shiny,
I appreciate your honesty! Hugs aren't for everyone and that's OK :) I hope you give your church a chance if it's where the Lord wants you! Have a blessed week.

Well, I'm from tennessee and I love our little country church. We hug, shake hands, pray together, cry together, serve the Lord together. Jesus loved fellowship with his disciples, little children, people he ministered to. I personally would hate to be in a church where you don't even shake hands. That is very strange to me, but I have always been in the type church that I am at now. I'm sure that it would be uncomfortable if you aren't used to it.
Try to remember why you are going to church. To serve God! People are just people and there is no perfect human (only Jesus). We mess up, we say and do the wrong things, but if you keep your eyes on Him, you'll never go wrong:)

I have two children. They both have birthdays this week. We have already celebrated my daughters and my sons is today. We have a tradition that we get up really early with that child and they get to open their presents right then (we will have a party later today with family).
For my daughters birthday, my son was kind of a brat. He wanted to play with her new stuff and when she told him no, he pouted, cried, etc. I warned him to straighten up or we could arrange for him to stay somewhere else for the party.
This morning when we brought him his presents, his reaction was very disappointing. He asked for legos for his birthday (no specifics, just legos) So we got him this big huge kinex/ lego tub of stuff to build with. He was like, "awww, this isn't what I wanted, I wanted lego people." We also got him this melissa doug cool sticker book ( we had also gotten his sister the female version of this book) and he was like, "oh, well I knew I would get that anyway." My husband was furious. He is a very hard working man and feels our son was being "an ungrateful brat". He wants to take the blocks away. I feel I have failed to foster gratefulness in my child. My daughter was very appreciative with her gifts. She asked for barbies and we got her roller blades and she never complained.
I know it's hard on him to watch his sister have her birthday first, but his behavior here lately has been really disappointing. I don't like it one bit.
How would you handle this situation? What can we do to instill this character trait in our child? I know for the party that some of my family is getting him legos. I so don't want him to embarrass us with a bratty reaction. Advice please!

After I saw this I was searching and searching for the new forum and thinking, "what am I missing?" and then I looked at the date lol! :glare:

Yes, they are very much on my nerves when every other post is a stinking POLL!

Great Job! We are doing skip counting lately and the kids would love this. Thanks :)

Sure I had big dreams. I always knew I would go to college but my parents pushed me to pursue a career that made lots of money. One week after being in classes for a financial degree, I hated every one of them and switched my major to education. I got to have a career for seven years, yay! But I was never able to get pregnant, no matter how many fertility drugs, tests, operations I had. But God's ways are not our ways. He sent us two precious children that I get the privilege of being a forever mommy to through adoption. My life is so blessed. We are always broke, have lots of debt, but I have a wonderful family and church. God provides for all my needs! I'm living a good life. We are healthy and happy:)

I waited almost two weeks, I finally emailed them and they sent me a tracking number and I got my materials within a few days. They sure don't get in a hurry lol!

We love raw milk here in TN too! I get mine from a mennonite family and it is 2.00 a gallon! I get four gallons a week and share with my parents. Great stuff:):):)

I have enjoyed looking at all of these awesome ideas! I am inspired and ready for a great year :):):)

I'm thinking this would be way too much for me, but everyone is wired differently. I'll be interested to see if anyone has any experience with a similar situation.

Bless your heart, you have a lot going on and do need a break! I got completely over hs in beginning of june. I had planned on doing school in the summer but we moved unexpectantly and put out a huge garden. So I have taken the summer off and haven't regretted it one bit! I needed the break badly. I didn't realize how completely burnt out I was getting. I have swam, slept in, read books, camped, worked my tail off in the garden, canned and just had a great summer. I'm beginning to get that back to school itch and have been planning and getting things together.
Hang in there!:grouphug::grouphug::grouphug:

I tried it when the kids were really young, around 6 I think. I did not like the mythical greek god stuff in Vol.1 As we were trying to teach our views (christianity, serving one true God, they got confused with greek gods.) I do like the way the books are very informative and interesting. It might be something we re-visit in a few years when I feel like the kids can differentiate the information.

super neat! I'll have one when they come out. Thanks for sharing!

Another MFW ECC user here! I bought my set used at a sale yesterday and spent all afternoon looking at it and ordering the rest of what I needed! I would love to start NOW but we have church camp next week and youth retreat the week after and then lots of summer fun stuff....so I am shelving it for now and will plan in July to start in August. I. CAN'T. WAIT:D:D:D

Speaking from an infertility issue, my pets definitely filled a void when I so desperately wanted a baby. Going through thousands of dollars of treatments, heartaches and many tears, my pets were the one constant in our life until we adopted our children. I do not think an animal replaces a child whatsoever but the comfort they gave in my time of need is very much appreciated today! You never know what someone is going through!
