Vitol Egg protein is yummy and healthy.

Looks like a lot of great ideas. I just wanted to add that NuNaturals Alcohol Free liquid Stevia has been a great alternative to sugar for me. I use it instead of sugar and I have had wonderful results. I like this particular brand because it doesn't have a bad aftertaste. I tried many of the stevias out there and this one was the best in my book.

I have found google documents a great tool for doing my lesson plans. I did a simple Spread sheet with the subjects down the side and day of the week across the top. Each of my kids access their lesson plans via their gmail acct. I can alter plans at any time and include links to where I want them to go. I also print out a hard copy for each of them to but in a their binders. Here is a sample from this week (Monday we had several appts., so I altered the schedule): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LCAwwjqH7y-NrTs2q5_95mXB0kZ3QzjkCwmWOgQk--M/edit

I'm going through the outgrown clothes today and sorting them.

We are using the free hippo campus videos: http://www.hippocampus.org/collection/NROC Just scroll down to US History and then select time period.

I use fast paleo. com a lot for no carb meal ideas. http://fastpaleo.com/

I usually do bread pudding: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/bread-pudding-ii/detail.aspx?event8=1&prop24=SR_Title&e11=bread%20pudding&e8=Quick%20Search&event10=1&e7=Home%20Page

I'm really liking Mosdos for my 8th grader. I fortunately found it used, otherwise it is a little pricey. http://www.mosdospress.com/

I use chickpea flour from the Indian Market.

This may be a option for you: http://www.homeschoolcollegeusa.com/ It is free and has texts to cover all the subjects you are looking for.

If you are just making a few items, the Snapsource tool works pretty well. That's what I used when I was making baby items. http://www.snapsource.com/

You could make homemade "Pop Tarts". I cut out circles, place whatever filling I want, then fold over and close. Use a fork to pinch them shut like an empanada and brush with egg whites. You could even make a powdered sugar frosting to drizzle on them when they come out of the oven.

This is one of my favorites: http://www.kalynskitchen.com/

What a neat tool. I will definitely incorporate this.

Check out this website: http://www.homeschoolcollegeusa.com/index.html Covers almost every subject for high school and its all free:).

I can't wait to read this book. I have it on hold :)

What an encouraging story. WTG Molly!

My experience is that there is more room in the toe area to allow for swelling as you warm up during cardio workout.

I've been looking at the DK American History Encyclopedia to use as a spine for us.

We loved McRuffy. I would still be using it if they had curriculum for older kids.

I measure the waist and then subtract 2". Dd likes it loose, so I take only 1-1.5 inches off. This seems to be the magic number for my elastic measurings.

I whipped up some shorts for my dd yesterday when I realized she had nothing appropriate for the gym. I'm also working on an over-sized purse, but I am still trying decide on what style handles to do. Dd is working on designing a penguin pillow. It is adorable. I am hoping to set her up today on the machine to finish it off.

I haven't used it personally, but maybe Moving Beyond the Page might be of help to you.

I used to be pre-algebra and up didn't offer automated grading, but starting in July pre-algebra and algebra will be available with automated grading. Great news for me since that is the level I need. I'm thinking the rest of the levels will get upgraded as well later on.
