Cat woman,
Yes disgusting. There is more than one brand.
-
And no parabens too.
-
I'm needing a good quality eye wrinkle cream and dark circle concealer. Looking for quality without spending a lot and no offensive ingredients like aborted fetal cells.
Thanks.

I just bought a bunch of stevia packets while traveling and kept them in in my suitcase/purse and wherever I went. Found the whole foods/health food store as soon as I could and got some good stuff there.
That headache is sugar withdrawal. So before you are tempted to "fall off the wagon" just think what sugar does to you. I gave up white sugar (the white death ;-) years ago, but even if I have sucanat/rhapadura now, I still can get a sugar headache about 10 minutes after consuming. Then a few minutes after that I get a little snappy with everybody. Then I feel bad that I had some to begin with. Such a predictable drama!
-
The bitterness some experience with the stevia could be the quality/brand they are using. I use several different types, so I'm not partial to any brand. The THM one is GMO and pure they say though. I don't taste a bitterness in even the Truvia which Walmart sells cheaply, so maybe it's just me.

Yep it's amazing what a little salt can do! I do THM too and my little indulgence is a spoon full of raw cashew butter with lots of Celtic sea salt mixed in then I dip it in chocolate chunks. I can do the skinny chocolate from THM if the kids haven't eaten it or the Enjoy Life chips which have evaporated cane sugar but this would be my only added sugar for the day. About 6 grams total.
Dipping it in the THM skinny chocolate is no sugar bc it's stevia.
No guilt, no sugar headache, no sugar moods wings. Yes!!

Here it is with apologies for any course language. It's not a blog I spend time at. Just found it for the cheese, but it is good.
-
Yay for savory snacks! Not related to sugar free, but if anyone is interested, I made a fairly yummy dairy free cheese. It's way better tan the Dayia stuff at the store. It's spreadable, not sliceable or shreddable, but so far I've put it in quesadillas and on top of chili tonight and it was good. Made with raw cashews.
DF people holler if you want the link.
-
Stacey are you ruling out stevia? I don't consider it's pure form artificial at all.
-
CF is casein free. One of our kids is GF and CF so I'm always looking for great yummy recipes. Yes Orhodox 6 no aspartame at all! Bad stuff! Xylitol is ok if your tummy can do it. I don't use it. I use stevia.
-
Me too. I'm already sugar free. Always looking to encourage others and get encouraged in this.
Made yummy GF, SF (no sugar added) CF pancakes last night with oat flour and they were yummy.

I haven't read all the posts here, but I've not seen any indication in the news how/why he had contact with 5 kids from 4 different schools. Mostly family? Anyone know more?
-
That sounds so yummy! High in protein, not super carby or sugary. I can't stand how so many breakfast recipes are all sugary and high in grains. They are not great for homeschooling kids or myself, wanting to avoid carb crashes and wanting to stay mentally focused.
Thanks for sharing! :-)
-
Thanks everybody. We have used online for two older kids. So expensive though. Can you share about the Christmas special? Didn't know about that!

Mjbucks1,
My oldest two boys have really like BJU also, so much that I think odest daughter wants to try it. I spoke with a "Homeschool Consultant" at BJU today and explained what I was thinking. She was supportive without seeing a big down side and understanding that we'd be careful about the section quiz answers. :-)
-
Just remembered the tests are not in the book. They are somewhere else. Only section quizzes and answers are in the TE, and we could easily cover with post-its or cut them out.
-
Orthodox6....Oh we will be discussing it. That has never been lacking in our home.
-
A couple of my high school aged kids seem to work pretty well on their own, checking in with me from time to time. I am considering for history to purchase the Teacher's Edition and giving it directly to them so they can get the more detailed ideas/analysis for themselves there. I'm looking at BJU, but this question could easily apply to any textbook curriculum.
I would still give all the section quizzes and tests and discuss with them where they want to.
I trust they wouldn't look ahead and cheat on tests or quizzes.
Does anyone else do this?
Any cons?
Thanks!
-
Can anyone help? :-)
-
Anyone? Ferris? Anyone?
-
We are very happy with CLE math for 1-3 grades.
-
I'm coming from homeschooling based on Charlotte Mason and MFW type methods and we are gradually switching some of our kids, for some subjects over to textbook method.
Say for BJU Heritage Studies or Abeka history, which grade levels do you think the Teacher's Edition is necessary? We have Kindergarten through high school kids, so I welcome your input on any level!
I'd like to have our kids working independently on some subjects where possible.
If there's another curriculum out there that you feel is thorough where the child works independently, please lMK! I do use CLE for some things.
Many thanks!!!!!! :-)

Gotcha...thanks ladies!

I'm sure you can do the research just as easily. I'm interested in eye cream while avoiding certain ingredients.
