  1. I'm sorry they are struggling, I know so many homeschoolers who are themselves struggling, they don't need more expenses either.
  2. our county extension office analyzes soil for like $8, and they will tell you what amendments you need. Might be worth checking into and seeing if they offer, and for how much, in your area.
  3. this is so you can keep up with what you own? I use Library Thing ( www.librarything.com ). You can use a scanner, but I don't own one so I did enter my books in manually. I love Library Thing, its so convenient for me, you can tag books with whatever tag you want for easy sorting, "history," 8th grade, etc. You can also print it out.
  4. I wanted to get a delivery of mulch to try out this technique this year but haven't ordered the mulch yet... have no idea how long it would take for a delivery, shame on me. Could be days, or weeks, and weeks... here is a link with a little more detail on the "how to" http://backtoedenfilm.com/how_to/index.html
  5. thanks for asking this question! We too do not eat pork, so its nice to know if it matters or not.
  6. love this, I have actually wondered/worried about this. Thanks for the tip !
  7. I buy my Extra-Virgin Organic coconut oil from a farmer's market here for $21.98/gallon. Its the best price I've found. They also sell it in buckets but I haven't ran the math on that to see if its cheaper. I use it for gut healing since I've read that hypothyroidism can be caused by candida/food sensitivities. I'm trying to eat an anti-candida diet (not been doing so good lately), and am working my way up to 6 T of co a day. 6 T is supposed to be a therapeutic level, but please, take it slow! Last yr I was up to like 4-5 T, quit for 3-4 weeks as I was waiting to buy more, bought some and went straight back to my previous dose. Uuuugh! Coconut oil is anti-bacterial and anti-fungal, I had severe die-off, it was debilitating. I have not lost any weight yet, I've actually heard its common for some to gain weight at first because their body is starving for high quality fats. Once you've been on it for awhile, you will then lose that weight. I use it to fry everything, I'll even add dollops of it to soups, oatmeal, hot tea, etc. I've used it in recipes too, makes a yummy oil in brownies. I put it on my skin sometimes, and it makes my skin feel very soft, its just that it has no "staying" power like lotions have. But other than that, I LOVE it!
  8. here in GA when there is mention of snow or an ice storm empty shelves happen every time. I always try to keep my pantry stocked, and if I need things I certainly don't wait until the last minute to purchase them if there is a possibility of snow. Did that once not long after moving here and I was shocked. I just now need to get more creative using what I do have in the pantry. for sharing these pictures and bumping up this post, its a great reminder because this WILL happen IRL
