Would she benefit from something like Financial Peace University? I can't stress how much it's helped our finances, but then again I was strongly motivated. Dave Ramsey is a great speaker and really hits home on some topics.
We are working on putting bags together. I do get kinda intimidated by the hard core crowd's "everything you need to live off the land for three days" mentality, so I need to keep in mind a realistic assessment of our threats.
House fire, this can happen to anyone. I'm wondering, those who say...
Another huge refund here---Yippee!!
Didn't mean for it to happen, but I took a huge step up in salary this year, with a job that pays milage. I really wasn't sure how things were going to come out, I've NEVER made this much money before and wasn't sure what bracket I'd be looking at, plus what...
We use two T posts then a wooden post, continue that pattern down the fence line. Wooden posts in the corners and at gates. I'd really like to top it with two wooden rails, but that's prohibitive at the time :(
That soup sounds sooo good! We've really been into the soups lately.
Breakfast
eggs
lunch
turkey salad, cheese, peanuts and sugar free jello
dinner
shrimp in garlic cream sauce, cod, and spinich in the garlic cream sauce.
We're getting kinda bored, but the weight is coming off! My son has...
Yeee--Haawwww!
The coolest thing happened! My son took leftover spareribs for lunch. When he came home, I told him to throw the bones out for the dog. He told me he HADN'T FINISHED his lunch because he JUST WASN'T THAT HUNGRY!!!! O happy day! This has honestly never happened except when he is...
Hmm, only 12. I agree, that's hard!
Garlic, onion, chili powder, italian seasoning, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, dill, thyme, paprika, mustard, parsley. Guess that's my top dozen.
My honey bought ketone strips and he and I are in ketosis, my boy isn't :( He's got to be cheating somehow--it hurts my heart. He's disappointed about not losing weight, maybe he'll get the cause and effect?
On the good side, my honey's gout has not flared like he was afraid of and his sugar...
I'd never even thought to roast hot dogs inside the stove! We'll have to try that. I also have a newer stove with a baffle or something on the top so the top doesn't get really hot. It does, however, get hot enough to melt candles. And trying to get melted wax off the side of your stove sucks...
Today's food---

sausage and eggs for the boyos
bacon, broccoli and swiss quiche for honey and I
lunch
ds was pork and broccoli
mine was cheese, almonds,pickles
dinner
huge pot of chicken soup with onion, carrot, cabbage, celery, pea pods, garlic, mushrooms. It was so good I ate two...
I'm not the BBH, but........
I have not researched ADD at all, but I would try ditching the grains. You want sausage without nitrites or msg in it. I have big eaters in my house and I fix probably ten eggs for four people for breakfast. Although, that quiche recipe, with all that cream, six eggs...
Okay, so I've been feeling bad--nauseated/gaggy type bad. I actually took a pregnancy test yesterday (negative :lol::lol:) cause I felt so crappy. Went to the Y today and weighed--I've lost 10 lbs! No wonder I've felt bad. So, more veggie carbs and a little bit of fruit, and I'm still working on...
can't tell you how many recipes I have from my mom that never say what the recipe is for....
Yeah, you're looking at the recipe thinking---what has all these things in it? What is it supposed to look like at the end? :lol:
I agree with scanning and saving, then some type of scrapbook, digital...
You should have your friend the stylist follow you around yelling that every few minutes! How cool!
Okay, for a while, then it'd be annoying.
My son is not lifting weights at all. He's 11 and I don't think he's spurting, that's usually accompanied by sleeping more and he's not.
I'm getting...
So, I'm losing weight but my ds is showing a gain :/ He swears he's not cheating, and truthfully there's not much here for him to eat that's bad! He even told me he checked a can of chili and didn't eat it because it had too many carbs. I don't know, it's kinda discouraging for him. I think we...
You don't feel the least bit strange about pulling off the side of a busy road to harvest apples falling over the fence of a suburban home that backs the road.
I was so excited to realize a tree in an empty lot next to my veggie store was an English walnut! I had the boys out there with...
I noticed you didn't include bacon here ;)
You're kinda a stumper!
There are lots more things to do with veggies besides salads--stir fry comes to mind, it's what I had for dinner! Soups with a nice bone broth are good, lots of veggies there.
It's been a long day, can't think of anything...
