This website has tons of freezer to crockpot dump recipes. She has the printable recipes plans for the recipes and shopping lists. Also, it is healthy stuff. Lots of veggies and no canned soups. This is a link to a page with lots of plans, but she shares recipes almost daily, so be sure to look around on her blog.

I have ordered from this company. The aprons are good quality and really cute. They often have good sales. There might even be a Groupon.

Well, we're Cair Paravel Classical Academy. I figure if you get the reference, maybe you'll appreciate our literary finesse. If not, maybe it sounds Latin-y enough to pass as an elite private school?
We have to have a name in our state, and I'm a Narnia fan, so really that's where it came from. The school name defaults to Lastname School if you don't give the state a unique name.
Then again, I kind of like naming things, especially with literary references... Rivendell is on the short list for our new house, along with Mandalay and The Burrow...
Yup, I'm a weirdo.
There actually is a classical latin school called Cair Paravel in Kansas and their mascot is the Lions.
Also, in Nebraska, there used to be a mental health facility named Rivendell. I think the name has changed though.
Just some fun facts that came to mind while reading your post. :)

Hunter,
Thank you so much for your insights. It leaves me with a lot to ponder. I am schooling mainstream students. The are not brilliant, but all excel in their own ways. I am attracted to your experiment because of the simplicity. We use a couple different math programs (Saxon and TT) and I have resources that I use for grammar. I am mostly interested in page 2 with all the literature/history/science selections.
Again, thank you for sharing your work.

I have been looking at your rainbow curriculum. I find it intriguing. I have a couple of questions. I had printed off version 9.8 and now version 12. I was comparing them and I am interested in knowing what criteria you use for adding/removing/placing books. For instance, I noticed that "Last of the Mohicans" and "Silas Marner" was in the Gold level Novels of 9.8 and has been replaced by "Les Miserables", Robinson Crusoe", and "Scarlet Letter" in 12.0. I am not questioning those choices in particular, just wondering how you are determining what is best for each level because I see lots of changes between versions.
Also, is each level a year? How would I determine where to place a student? Are you using this/planning to use this with actual students or is it just a theory? I really admire the exhaustive work that is going into this project. I have been mulling over how I could implement it with my own children.
Thanks for any information about the thought process that is going into this you would be willing to share.

When I heard about this story on the news, the anchor was saying how incredible this escape was. He was almost making them sound like heroes that they managed to escape saying how brilliant they were, etc. I really thought he was a little too congratulatory.

Here is a link to a facebook group that has tons of recipes in the files and a lot of helpful hints. The lady who owns the group sells reconditioned vitamix's, but you don't have to have bought one from her to join. I didn't. Everyone is really nice and helpful.
HTH,

First, congrats and welcome to Levi!

My first child was a csection. I had an epidural from labour. When I started screaming on the table, they ended up knocking me out with a horse syringe of valium.
I remember the anestisiologist (sp) leaning down, trying to convince me all I felt was pressure. Yeah, right. :glare:
This same exact thing happened to me, except they used gas to knock me out after I started screaming when they cut into me. I told the doctor I could feel things and the anesthesiologist (had to look it up) :) said "You'll feel some pressure" :eek:

Mine are soldered together. I think this was considered the norm. At least the jeweler made it seem like the thing to do. I never questioned it. I wore the engagement ring up until right before the wedding and then we had them soldered together right before the ceremony. Married 26 years ago in mid size metropolitan area in midwest.

I would not be offended, but, honestly, I would probably be less likely to try to contact you.

I would like to print some pictures of my daughter off of facebook for a graduation project. There are about 600 of them. Is there any way to download them all at once or do I have to do it individually? I know that you can directly import pictures to Walgreens and some other places, but that only seems to work for pictures that she put on facebook, not pictures she was tagged in which is the majority of what I want.
Thanks,
Joy

I make a version of this salad pretty often. I think it is better if the vegetables marinate over night in the dressing. I add the bacon/raisins/nuts right before serving.

We go to a smallish church in a large metro area. Men from the congregation take turns watching the parking lot during services and any number of men in the church may be armed as per the conceal carry law in our state.

If you mean reading the same material five times, I wouldn't recommend it. The technique is intended for preschool development and really isn't appropriate for high school aged students. Full disclosure, I believe the FIAR technique becomes overkill for any student past the age of seven or so. There is a lot of material to work through as a child progresses through grade levels, and at the very least you won't have the time to read the selections multiple times in high school. The focus should be on synthesizing and analyzing longer and more complicated material.
I believe the FIAR technique moves past reading the same material five times in Beyond Five in a Row which is meant for ages 8-12. I think trying to mimic this kind of learning and make it challenging enough for a high schooler would require a lot planning.

That's a really cute idea. Since it's her 18th birthday, I would do 18 items.

A candy thermometer
A cookie sheet - which I found about here the other day!
That's it. It has two items. I have been trying to want less and make do more. There are some things on the homeschool wish list though... but it's more for saving.
Um, link to cookie sheet? Cause I need one.
And which candy thermometer? Because if you've already done all the work picking out the best one, that would be great. Lol.

I just bought my daughter a pair of sandals there yesterday that were $40. I had a rebate from a black Friday appliance, a $5 yes2you reward and the $10 off $30 coupon. For some reason, I got another $10 special discount off and the total out of pocket for the shoes was $1.77. I don't return things very often, so I haven't really had any issues there. Love Kohls!

My mother used to paint the go-through-the-ear-part (official term) with clear nail polish. You could try that.
This is what has worked for my girls too.
