She is not too young. There are smaller kid-friendly machines that are great for that age. I even think Wal-Mart might offer a class for young kids. You 2 could take a class together, it would be...

Now that sounds like a lot of fun! I used to help my folks cut wood when I was a kid. Most times we just get it delivered to us now. We don't have any woods to log or cut in. I bet the little...

I make a dish that consists of apple pie filling, boneless pork chops and stuffing. You put the pie filling on the bottom of the casserole dish, then the chops, and then the stuffing. You bake it...

I don't make crafts to make money, it's just a hobby. I think if I had to do it for money it would not be near as fun. I make wood crafts for gifts and for myself. I have seen some wood crafts at...

Nope not carving, I make wood crafts, like flags for the house or signs with sayings on them. The old barn board just makes them look weathered. We once helped take down 1 old barn and they gave us...

Motivation is whatever will get you to do what you need to do. I love the part about hating your job so you were motivated to finish the classes. I'm motivated to finish the degree and I have a...

These are some great tips so far. We save money by buying in bulk and cooking in bulk too. I will make 3 meals out of a whole turkey, instead of 1 out of turkey breasts.
I also use coupons and...

I love making wood crafts with barn board. It just has the weathered look when you use it. It's hard to find it these days though. So many barns are not being built with the old boards. Have you...

I would like to embroider some wall hangings for Christmas so I am looking for some nice sayings. What is your favorite saying? I cannot wait to hear them all so I can start planning.

Have you ever lived in the country? It's amazing! I think the biggest shock is not having stores right there, instead you might have to drive 15-30 miles to go grocery shopping. That was my...

Today we are going to put up most of our outdoor fall decorations. We even bought some pumpkins yesterday. No gourds yet though- we go on the 25th for them.

Have you changed over yet from Summer...

In about 2 hours we are heading out to the garden to get the last big picking. It's getting colder at night (Right now it's only 45 degrees out). The plants are almost dead.
Is your garden still...

I don't think you can, although as it gets cooler out the bees start to disappear. I'm not sure how to keep them away when it's nice out though. I too love to watch the hummingbirds, they are the...

You've got it right, it is much calmer in fall. There are less people at the campsites and it's awesome. So you can't swim but you can still have a lot of fun. I would not want to camp when we...

We are going camping in Mid-October and the campsite is calling it Halloween weekend. I can't wait. 2 of my favorite activities, camping and Halloween decorating.
Anyone ever been camping over a...

Not completely but close, right now we just have our mortgage and our basic utilities each month. We have no credit card payments or car payments. It took a bit to get this way but it was a great...

I try to craft throughout the year so that I am not shoving it all in at the end of the year. I find that I enjoy it more if I take my time and it looks better too. We just started our craft nights...

Hey, good luck with that today! It sounds like a lot of fun. We are going to a tractor pull today too, it is a small one with a big festival around it. The kids love it, and I love it too. They...

How much have you canned this season? What have you canned? Do you can or freeze? We do a little of both and we have done a ton! Yesterday we made spaghetti sauce and canned tomatoes. What have...

Ours just grow, we just plant the seed and they grow. A lot of times we even forget about watering them. They are a lot like pumpkins- very little care is needed, but a lot of space is needed. The...

Here too and it's really sad. It's like it's expected! If you were a good player in school and you were popular, your kids will make the team. I wish just once they would play kids by their skill...

It's pouring here today so I'm making meatloaf! I love it! I love homemade pizza and wings, meatball subs, chili, soups, lasagna, etc. I consider all these cool weather foods. I can't wait to...

We just take oil and vinegar and mix them up for our own Italian like dressing - I add a touch of Mrs. Dash to it too. Have you tried the packets of dressing (powders) that you add your own items to...

I've noticed that our water is starting to have an Iron smell to it. We have a water softener so I'm not sure what the problem is. What should I do? Have it treated? Is there something I can buy...

I can't imagine doing everything for myself here. I don't have the time or energy. I think in order to be self-sufficient I would have to quit my day job and work at home. I can grow my own food...
