So glad to hear the good news! -
I have that one also, and I have used it for corn and flour tortillas. I like it!

Gift Cards at the Coinstar (frugal tip)
kim.4dogs replied to Amber in SJ's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Thanks! I didn't know that. Now I've got some change to turn into an Amazon gift card! -
I'd go with option 3. We left RS after C and started using Math Mammoth. I bought Beast Academy to supplement Math Mammoth for this year, and my daughter loves it! We've only been using Beast Academy for the first week and a half of school. Now I'm slowly adding Math Mammoth back into the schedule.

I bought a JanSport on Amazon for my daughter, too. I liked that it has a lifetime warranty. I'm sick of replacing them when they rip or the zippers break! http://www.amazon.com/JanSport-Superbreak-Backpack-Black-Doodle/dp/B006ML7LKS/ref=sr_1_4?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1345503100&sr=1-4&keywords=jansport+backpack

I had a different menstrual cup years ago (not Diva and I can't think of the name right now), but I could always feel it. I ordered a Lunette after doing some research because it was smaller, and I do have a tilted cervix (can't remember the correct name for that either!). It works great and I don't feel it at all.

S/o packing lunches: Bento boxes part 47
kim.4dogs replied to elegantlion's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I've used more expensive systems in the past, but I really like "Easy Lunchboxes". They're easy to wash, and I don't have to mess with a bunch of little pieces like the Laptop Lunches. http://http://www.amazon.com/EasyLunchboxes-3-compartment-Containers-insulated-non-vinyl/dp/B00547YYWO/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1345010811&sr=8-11&keywords=Easy+Lunch+boxes -
Thank you!

I'd love to see them too! kim.4dogs@yahoo.com

S/O - Budget Categories as Percent of Income
kim.4dogs replied to AlmiraGulch's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I've been using You Need a Budget for the last 4 or 5 months. One thing I really like about it (among many things) is that you work towards having a buffer, so that the money you earn in June is used for July expenses, and the money you earn in July is used towards August expenses. Then you budget bases on what you actually earned. Obviously, most of us can't do this right away, but once you reach that point it is nice, and solves the problem of which amount to use for your budget. -
You Need A Budget... help?
kim.4dogs replied to Mynyel's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I use YNAB. When you say it shows -$300 do you mean for your money for the month? Or for your net worth? I had a credit card balance for the first few months I used the program, and there was a way to categorize your credit card debt as "pre-YNAB debt". That way it was just another bill, and you could decide how much to budget towards it each month. Definitely check out the forums! People are very knowledgeable and super helpful! -

I used this recipe: http://www.lexieskitchen.com/lexies_kitchen/2011/9/14/almond-milk-yogurt-dairy-free.html For the starter, I used a couple tablespoons of soy yogurt. -

kim.4dogs replied to Soror's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Sounds good! I have been making almond milk lately, and also almond milk yogurt. I would like to try the "cheesecake". -
Hold my hand...buying refurbished Ipod Touch
kim.4dogs replied to 2squared's topic in General Education Discussion Board
At apple.com, a refurbished 8 GB is $169 and the 32GB is $249. Those are both the current generation with the camera. I have an 8 GB and the memory has not been a problem. I don't have movies on it, though. I currently have 359 songs, 342 photos, and 64 apps on it. Hope that helps! -
Anyone familiar with Baltimore Curriculum Project?
kim.4dogs replied to MommaOfalotta's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
I'm planning to use it this year for 1st and 4th grade science. The science looks great to me! -
Binding math mammoth?
kim.4dogs replied to amo_mea_filiis.'s topic in General Education Discussion Board
I print them double-sided and have them coil bound at Offic Depot. It costs about $3.50 for each half of the book (A or B). -
share with me your IUD stories
kim.4dogs replied to ktgrok's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I had one without the hormones for a few years and it worked fine. It did make my periods worse, but when I removed it after my dh had a vasectomy, the nurse practioner warned me that my periods may have been worse just because they change after childbirth. She seems to have been right, because they didn't really get any better once it was removed. -
I am doing it with WWW 3 and WWE 3. It works well because they are very different. The only problem is getting them both done! Some days we just do one or the other. (OK, *most* days we just do one or the other.)

I print mine at home (on an inkjet color printer, set to "fast draft" to save ink). Then I take them to a copy shop and have them spiral bound. It was under $5 to just have one bound. I make separate books for A and B and print them double-sided, so the books aren't too big.

Full of questions today: OPGTR & AAS
kim.4dogs replied to alisoncooks's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
I'm using them together and I think they work great! They definitely complement each other well. -
Do I want a canister vacuum?
kim.4dogs replied to Pegasus's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I prefer a canister vacuum for hard floors. I've had this one (but it might have been a cheaper model, because I don't think I paid this much): http://www.amazon.com/Hoover-WindTunnel-Canister-Electronic-S3765-040/dp/B00008UI0R/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1330651790&sr=8-1 It was good, but didn't last too long. Now I have this one: http://www.amazon.com/Miele-S2120-Canister-FiberteQ-SBD350-3/dp/B002YPUO5U/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1330651835&sr=1-1 I love it! -
I *thought* I was reasonably intelligent
kim.4dogs replied to fraidycat's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
I agree with you! I got it last week and I haven't done anything with it yet. I'm glad I'm not the only one! :001_unsure: I do have AAS for my ds6, but I didn't want to go all the way back to level 1 of AAS with my dd8. HTTS seemed like a good option, but now I'm not so sure. -
Congratulations! I hope the process goes quickly for all of you!
