    Tips and tricks for homeschooling moms

    I will admit, sometimes I feel like the kids are using the last thread of my patience. Fighting me over schoolwork, chores and even eating. The school year is the worst of course because there is SOO much more for them to fight me over. This year I am adding 2 littles to my group. I am a little...

    Honey suckle syrup is supposedly good for strep throat. I use it for sore throats to be honest. I made it with a bit of lemon and ginger. It tastes awesome and it does soothe the throat. It is supposed to be a treatment though for strep. If there were no docs or meds available I would give that...

    Smithfield buy out

    Never going to eat any pork from the stores anymore. The company looking to buy them has a HORRID track record as far as adding toxins into their food. No thank you.

    Comfrey and I do not get along. Once upon a time a mom went to the garden to get some horseradish. She had planted some right beside her comfrey patch ( you can see where this is going to go). She harvested the root and took it inside and prepped some to eat with her bratwurst. It tasted a bit...

    How have you been dealing with changed weather?

    You need to look at longer term cycles in the weather also. Everyone around here keeps talking about we never had such hot weather or we never had so much rain. Sure we did. I have lived her all my life ( military town so that is kinda rare but we are out in the country so I am not the only one...

    Homemade Vanilla Extract

    Ok So I have made vanilla extract but have any of you used the beans afterwards to make vanilla sugar? How did you do it. I have new beans arriving in the next week or so and beans about to come out of a bottle. I would like to use those beans for the vanilla sugar.

    Anyone struggling to eat out or from grocery stores? any clean eaters?

    Natural Remedy supply

    My dads have been biopsied and treated traditionally by his GP. However they continue to come back. If it were me I would give this a try. I just have little trust in doctors and big pharma and the FDA for that matter. One big sloppy, greedy, corrupt, mess.

    Natural Remedy supply

    I have been researching recipes and places that sell it. I am a bit wary of buying anything like that on ebay. I think my best bet would be to make it myself then I know what I am using. My dad gets skin cancers on his ears and has to have them taken off every year. They always come back. He has...
