  1. Is the Fifty States Under God book for Revival to Revolution a resource that each child needs their own?
  2. I love my Bosch....and I would love to have my older girls be able to have one too!
  3. If you are on Facebook and want to keep up with the deals, my daughter has a FB page for doing so...if you are interested.... Little House Living Holiday Deals Group.
  4. What are the essentials to order with Logic of English? I am wanting to order from CBD, since they have the free shipping special, but I am unsure what I absolutely need for this. Can you help me??
  5. I can so totally related to this thread...it makes my heart pound extra loud just thinking about it. I can say outloud...you are not alone. I once told my dentist that I hated him...I don't, but I hate the job of him working on my teeth. He said that it wouldn't be normal if someone actually "liked" going to the dentist. One thing I have found with teeth issues...they tend to not get better, but they can lead to needing more extensive work. I have been like many others here, who actually make it out to be more than its worth and then once I am there, not so bad. I did have a root canal and I thought I would "die"....I didn't and it wasn't so bad. I could get through it again, if need be. I did, however, have to get up out of the chair 5 times to make a trip to the ladies room! Yes.....again, you are not alone!
  6. Do you need the Teachers book for Writing Tales or is the student book enough for open and go?
  7. Same thing here...10 and 12 year old...you are not alone! This, too, shall pass....
  8. Can someone please give me the Rod and Staff phone number? I would like to order directly from them, instead of the internet site....thanks!
  9. Thanks everyone....or anyone else who wants to still chime in. It looks like Rod and Staff is something I should take a look at. I can't get the samples to load, though, at the website someone recommended :>( I was wondering about the Sequential Spelling also....it would be nice to start both of them in the same level. For someone who uses that, do you just need one of the student books per student and then one Teachers Manual? I was a little confused by their website, but it was a little more simplified in looking at it at CBD......
  10. I need some suggestions for spelling for both my kids. I want it to be easy, open and go. They need reinforcement of spelling rules and practice with the words. I would prefer it to be a workbook type for price and ease. We are using AAS and it just isn't going well....no retention and too many bells and whistles.
  11. http://www.littlehouseliving.com This is actually my daughters site, but when I looked through your list of what you were looking for, her site seemed to mesh with what you are looking for.....
  12. My daughter just got a new puppy....we named her Ariat (my daughter is cowgirl)
  13. I agree with you. I have had one daughter use it all the way through high school and she did well on her ACT and was placed into Intermediate Algebra for her college level class for Math. She just finished the class and it came very easy to her and she got an A for a grade.
  14. Lehmans carry some stoneware. I have ordered from them before and been pleased with my purchases. You should check them out. Not sure how the price compares, though.
  15. We are doing the Zoology 3 for our science this year. My kids just turned 10 and 12 and we all love it. This has been our best science year, thus far. We are using the Notebooking Journals with it and the kids enjoy those so much. They are kids that like to draw and color, so the journals are a big, big hit. I have been reading all of it outloud as we go and they are drawing/coloring whatever we are reading about. When I am done reading, then we re-cap and write about what we have just studied.
  16. I don't use Cream soups anymore. I use this for our substitution: 1/3 c. bean flour (white beans) 2 c. chicken broth or use vegetable or beef broth with the bean flour. You can add in pieces of mushrooms or celery, if you want. There are also some other recipes out there using instant dry milk powder...but I don't have those exact measurements. You can probably do a search for cream of ..... (healthy substitutions)
  17. You can vary from soups, too, and just make an alfredo sauce. You can just use chicken stock, half and half and cheese...make alfredo or a creamy cheese sauce for homemade mac and cheese.
  18. I was looking on Amazon for some reviews of different ones. I did see a Cuisinart that looked pretty good. Do you know what model yours is?
  19. I am looking for a toaster oven and would love to have your recommendations. I am looking for a well buildt one, large enough for several pieces of toast, easy to use for kids, too. If you have one or actually one you didn't care for, pass that on.
  20. Are you on their truck route? Only asking because several of the items that I get are not available for UPS delivery on by truck. I order quite a bit each month. I really like their bulk spices, wheat berries, spelt, sugar, rice. Really anything you get at the store or natural store especially. The prices with Azure are much better. Just start looking either through brands or the sale items and you will see their vast variety of items. I add things to my cart throughout the month just like my shopping list as I run low or out of things.
  21. I have a "knock off" recipe of it, using things you probably have access to. Let me know if you want it. Its all we use and my family loves DL.
  22. We have served at the local mission before and served around 100-125. We did sloppy joes, corn, pears, lettuce salad with the dressing already on it, and cake pieces for dessert. Easy to do and not very time consuming. Bought the frozen corn in bulk size bags and the pears in large cans. Lettuce salad was bought in the already cut up jumbo size bags and I believe we put Dorothy Lynch over the lettuce and tossed it in, so you don't have to fool around with doing each individual salad. Hope that will help a bit.
  23. I had a small cavity right between my two front, top teeth. Yes, it was from not flossing enough. He did a quick fix on it with the same white type material they use for fillings. It was an easy fix and you can not tell at all. HTH!
  24. Yes, I agree also...you need to get a de-humidifier. We have a basement with two escape larger windows and one small one. We run the de-humidifier down there continuous in the summer months, especially. We get a full container in 24 hours, so you know that it is really needed. I bet if you invest in one, that will be your biggest help.
