I just stared a book called Time in A River. I can't remember the author's name, though--just started it last night. So far, I'm liking it and I'm only into the 2nd chapter or so. Looks like a...

$7.99 a pound!? I know items can be more expensive in Alaska, but that seems even higher than it should be. We didn't have a produce from what we planted either. I hope next year is different for...

Many homeschooled children do go on to school. I don't have the statistics like you do for our area. However, I have spoken to a psychiatrist that I met once. He said that in his practice and on...

My mom, the late 70s, made wreaths with all kinds of pinecones. I'd say they had about a 16" diameter. She'd put the cones in the oven first, on a low temperature. I don't know why (I was super...

Please don't laugh, but why would you need a solar stove? We're not well-versed in "green living" and we are learning to make some changes. Would it be like a dehydrator for outside?

We have oil heat currently. It's a boiler, heats the water that runs through baseboard registers. We don't have room for duct work. We do need to upgrade our furnance and we are considering a...

We homeschool so I was able to arrange my schedule so that I have a couple days out of the house to help cut down on gas. So far this month, I have purchased gas one time and it's only down a...

We have a couple here in town. We laugh, though, because as soon as anybody comes to visit, we take them to the "Civil War Park" and it really isn't anything. It's a large field with a old plantation...

For us, we live in an small city where the home lots are close together and not even a 1/4 of an acre. We have city water and trash pick up. The nearest gas station is honestly around the corner. ...

No...we have one and medically speaking, we've been told we are done. If we are lucky, we may adopt at some point in the future. I used to want 3 kids but now that I have one, I enjoy simplicity...

My husband did his entire associates degree online. He had deadlines and due dates for projects so he didn't seem to have a problem. And, his counselor at the school would call him every Tuesday...

He is retired; she is not. But they are older. I do they think are bored quite a bit. My husband is thinking about letting him mow our lawn all of the time to give the guy something to do. But,...

We seem to be making some progress this week! This morning I felt like such a fool because I made such a big deal and fuss over him for going outside, but maybe that will help in efforts just the...

Wow! Thanks for the information. I looked it up as well but didn't find all of that info....I must of have had just a bit of time when I did. My son is the only kid in the neighborhood. She is...

We have homeschooled our son since the beginning and have enjoyed our process and he does well. However, as he gets older (he's just starting middle school), I find the need to move into a setting...

We are close! Just paid off a school loan of my husband's this month. Hopefully by the end of the year we'll have everything gone except the mortgage (maybe even that!). A friend of mine suggested...

According to our neighbor, who is in a panic, we have Cowitch growing in our backyard and down our fence line. It is a strong vine and if it flowers, usually in the summer, it has beautiful orange...

I read The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls. That would get your blood going on social issues. I've also been directed to The Help by Kathryn Stockett. I believe it takes place in the 50s and is...

Oh! Good idea. I don't know why I didn't think about Murphy's Oil soap before. Our home has all wood floors except in the kitchen and living room (they are wood floor under the carpet and vinyl). ...

We are novice gardners but have a desire to be bigger and better some day. We planted tomatoes and peppers in containers because we don't have much of a yard. The plants grew but we have yet to get...

It's funny you should say this. This is my dad's philosophy, as well, and he did grill during the blizzards of 2010 that we had in our state. I think in the 20+ years he has lived in his house, he...

I do think that part of our problem is that our 11 year old responsible for taking him out. 10 seconds is not long enough for the dog to determine where and when to go. We are working on the 11...

About 5 miles the way the crows fly.

Haste makes waste.

That's one long road to hoe.

Cleanliness is next to Godliness.

All I need is to get a-round-to-it.

We adopted a dachshund 2 years ago this coming December. They told us he was about a year old but we think he was younger. No matter what we do, he will not go outside. The foster home he was in said...

Your children should be okay. I have several friends and family who have homeschooled through high school and have done just fine. Depending upon your area, there should be multiple opportunities...
