No suggestions, just wanted to say that it sounds like an awesome trip! Have fun!

:iagree: I like that idea! I'm sure your son didn't mean it. A few of my kids have written me notes like that. It was just a moment of anger and they got over it. I eventually did, too. :) At least he realized how it made you feel and tried to fix it with a "love you" note. And your 7yo helped him! Very sweet. I think kids just don't realize the things they say or do can really hurt. Don't worry, mama, he loves you!

Wow-what a fantastic site! Thanks so much for posting this.

Thanks for posting this!

I would go!! I have the all day seminar and really enjoy it - it very inspiring.

I'm bumping this for you 'cause I want to know more! I have been looking at these, too, and think they look great.

I'm in the middle of reading this and am starting to wonder the same thing. Is the governess a little off her rocker or are the kids just kinda creepy?

I've often thought of doing this at our local weekly farmer's market. Let us know how it goes for you!

I went back and read through all the posts - I think I will have to print out this entire thread! I am always stumped on what to make for dinner. We have our old tried and true dinners (roast, lasagne, spaghetti, chicken and rice) but we've gotten into a rut lately and I would love to try a few new meals. Thanks for all the great recipes-yum!!

This sounds so yummy and easy! and my kids will eat just about any kind of pasta. Why didn't I think of this? :D

Very neat! I want to show my kids this. Thanks for posting it!

:hurray:That's awesome! Your wife will be thrilled!

Oh my! I had no idea they were discontinuing these. These ARE the best pencils! I used to get them at wallyworld for the longest time, lately I have only seen them there now and then. Thanks for the heads up - I will hunt some down and stock up.

We LOVE the Busy Bee Bags! It might have been me that posted the link. :) My younger dds have used them for the past few years. Even my 8 and 9yos enjoyed them ( also known as "taking over the craft from your younger sister because it looked so fun"). I have used two of the art kits from Hearts and Trees. Very nicely done; my older dds have enjoyed them - we just started the summer kit she is currently selling. The books Alte Veste Academy linked look so good! I put them on my wishlist. I think this carving book looks fun, too http://www.amazon.com/Soap-Carving-Children-Schiffer-Woodcarvers/dp/0764308599/ref=pd_sim_b_3 Let us know what you try out!

13 years. I have taught 8 children how to read; the oldest 2 learned in ps, the 2yo will be my last. Whew!

These are all so funny! Several years ago our dog had a litter of puppies. To sell the puppies, I called the local newspaper and placed an ad-making sure to say that the puppies were fully weaned, had their first shots, etc. The newspaper arrived the next morning and I flipped to the puppies for sale section to read our ad. Well, we must of had some pretty special dogs, because right there in black and white it stated that our puppies were "fully winged". I guess I should have enunciated better. :)

lol, you're too funny! I have the tablets-the directions say to take 2 each day. It sounds like you have the v-caps?, it must be different for those. Have you tried splitting the dose and taking 2 at breakfast and 2 at dinner? Maybe that would help?

Oooh, that looks very cool! I wonder if it comes back together easily? I'd love to try some. Let us know how you like it!

Is there a certain reason why you are taking 4? I've always taken only 2 each day. I started taking these during my last pregnancy. I had read all the testimonials and thought," yeah, yeah, whatever." But wow! I honestly felt more energetic. I was very surprised and now my dds take them and most of my female relatives, too. I have my dh and older dss on SuperDad. I love these vitamins!

Another thumbs up for Foyle's War! Glad to hear they are making more episodes!!

Thanks for posting about this, stripe! It is just what my dd needs.

Master and Commander

Cooking!! I'm hoping one of my kids will marry a chef and want to invite me to dinner every night. :)

:lol:

Seterra is wonderful! We have downloaded it to several computers and have never had any problems from it. Try it - you will LOVE it!!
