I have a very large freezer which I use to hold many of my make ahead meals. I have 4 large cooking days every month and I make Lasagna, macaroni and cheese, scalloped potatoes, chicken and...

Thanks for the recommendations. I'm heading over to the library this week so I can so do some perusing. It looks like they have quite a few of the Diana Gabaldon series.

I just read an article on how to keep the fleas from hitching a ride on your pet. Apparently they don't like yeast. You can purchase yeast powder or tablets and mix it with your pets food. The goal...

I love your idea Roustabout. I would look into your local recreation center or nearest library as well. Who knows, maybe there are young people out there who are interested in learning these skills....

I personally do not think teachers and various other support staff carrying concealed weapons is the answer to the problems. That's heading in the wrong direction, just as taking God out of the...

Great post Pat, and this is definitely a topic that everyone needs to be mindful of. To be quite honest, if things got to the point that you mentioned, I really don't believe my efforts would amount...

I'm looking for a good book to sink my teeth into and I'm just stumped. I tend to like historical fiction or books centered around social issues. Any recommendations?

I saw a fascinating show a few years back about alternative home building materials. I believe the group they were filming was in Europe and they were building a home out of mud and straw! It was...

Hi Salliemay, I suggest you join HSLDA (Home Schooling Legal Defense Association) they have all the information that you need in one place and they will keep you updated on the many changes that...

I am glad I do not live in a metropolitan area for many reasons. If the U.S. were to suffer a serious financial collapse or attack, I feel much safer here, than I would in a city. My neighbors and I...

Everything has changed since 9/11. In the event of another catastrophic situation like that, each school has an emergency plan that transports the children to an undisclosed location. Much like a...

Thanks KansasCAD, I checked out the website and it was very helpful. I've already put a few plants in and now we have quite a few regular visitors. As for the mimosa, the only one I know of is the...

No, I've never used one and truth be told, I'd be terrified to do it. The thought of me using one and one of my children running up behind me. Terrifying.

Thanks for the recipe Maggie May, it was quite good and very moist. My girls and I had a blast making this. If anyone has anymore tasty dessert recipes for the crock pot , please share.

This is something that's always kind of lingered in the back of my mind. I was a few credits shy of getting an AA degree years ago and I had to leave to take care of a family crisis. Life got in the...

As the others have said, Lowes and Home Depot have some great tools for you to design with, but I would get a set budget before you even walk in. I helped my sister with her kitchen remodel and she...

I've been spotting a few hummingbirds around my hanging fuchsia baskets and I'm enjoying them immensely. My daughters and I are wanting to start a hummingbird garden. I was curious if anyone out...

I think the internet has been quite a boost to the crafting community as it's much easier to sell your items online and you could have a steadier income by doing so rather than relying on church...

They are fun to ride I admit it, and they can be quite useful too. My only problem with them is that most of the people in my area treat it like a child's toy and let their kids ride unsupervised and...

Earlier this week I found one wrestling with the bird feeder. I've got a bird feeder on the window by the porch so my girls and I can get a nice view of the birds. This squirrel has pretty much...

I never collected any trains as a child, but my grandpa did and he had quite a lay out every Christmas. A beautiful German train garden that he built a platform for as well. I think it was probably 8...

This is a great video! We live in the northern part of Virginia, in the Shenadoah Valley and we always see these guys. They can get pretty large and do some serious damage to trees. I've seen them...

I'm impressed by the thought that went into the whole "beehiving" concept. As a woman, I am a self proclaimed beehiver and will continue to be one, thank you very much. I believe SilverVeil's idea...

Sorry to here about the ant invaders, MaggieMay. I never personally had an attack by them but I've heard of some people using citrus oil extract or pine oil extract to deter them.

For me, the key to a good potato crop is starting with good seed potatoes every season. I plant them in a sloped raised bed I made. They do well with a soil pH of 6.0 to 6.5 and sometimes I add a...
