Ok short post because i am in SHOCK. So we are here with my parents. We cannot leave them alone obviously BUT my husband is WAY under payed. He just got an offer sent for a job in MONTANA!! for 24k more. I am torn. I could maybe bring a couple of my goats but I would have to get rid of all my...

We do not eat out more than twice a month. Most times though we do not eat out at all. My husband and I eat out on our own maybe 2 or 3 times a year. We budget $400 a month for groceries and thats for 6 of us. We are with my parents and they budget around $200 extra a month to cover their extra...

We found out finally that his teacher has not been at school. She is not always the one we drop him off with. Usually one of the other preschool teachers lines them up and then they all walk to class together. No one mentioned she was not there. So we think thats part of the issue. The other is...

She took a break, got a snack, did some ballet stretches and then was ready to jump back in thankfully. I am not sure how she would deal with a regular class and dealing with this. Even fighting through this she is staying at grade level on all subjects, so she is working through it. Doing the...

You have got to love ice on a ramp honestly. Even in my work boots I went sliding. Woke the 4 year old up for his preschool and got him to school. Sat a half hour while he cried and begged to go back home with me. Its just a half day but it broke my heart. Usually he loves school and for...

They help us too. We all have to work together. Sometimes that might mean mom watching the kiddies while I do something heavier or with the animals but it all works out. I feel like we are banded together. I am glad though that we can offer them help with heavy work and with the farm and even...

Ah, sorry I had to take a break. Apparently many many of my problems that I thought were totally unrelated are hormonal. I thought I was too young for all that but apparently not. Ah well, I feel tons better and survived the entire family ( 8 in one house) catching it. YAY A few things we...

Sent my preschooler back to school last week. He is home this week sick and so is EVERYONE else. lol I am going to be a viral professional before these kids grow up I swear. Thats ok, this one seems mild and I am so on top of it. The garlicy gingery chicken soup is made. Hubby is on his way home...

See I just bought fresh ginger because I read it was good for this and many other things but I just never know how exactly to use it. We are in the experimenting stage I guess on that one.

How did you know I just bought some. woot. I am all for not taking pharma drugs .

I wash my hands but honestly with the kiddies I am doomed. Not one of them want their father, who is practically immune to everything, to take care of them when they are sick. They want mom and hugs and kisses and singing and someone to sit by them all night long. I get run down and an extra...

Ok, well we survived the flu but now I am trying to slip into brochitis. I am putting up a good fight though. Got my homeopathic asthma and brochitis remedy on hand. Drinking acv water like 4 times a day. Lots of raw honey. To get through the flu we did tons of elderberry syrup. Heck we were...

Sounds like its time to buy a goat to me!

Hey, or Kentucky. fixer upper right down the road that already has county water and septic. 24,000 I think it has 3 acres. Not bad but it is a fixer upper. You have some chicken and goat minded neighbors though.

All the bad meats are out of the house now. ALL. The other bit of news is that my nephew noticed that our meat tasted better and he did not get such bad gas or indigestion so he asked my mom about it and she told him the problems I have been having. He ended up going and stocking up himself...

I wish we were this organized. I tell my mom I want to do this and the first thing she does is buys olive oil and coffee. She bought enough coffee to ensure she has some as long as she is alive. That took up an amazing amount of space.

That is very very cool. I may actually have to try it out and see if the family notices.

I am looking for the best way to educate myself so that I can help my family stay healthy without depending on the doctor. I know at times a doctor might be needed but for the most part I prefer to avoid them. Has anyone done courses of study that they found helpful, or books they studied...

Hey all if I could add a real quick prayer request in. If you could just pray for a man named Norm. He is head of a local group here near me and is terminal. Hopsice has been called in and members are asking everyone to pray and add him and his family to their prayer lists. I figure a few more...

I have an awesome neighbor. He is older and owns 168 acres. On this he has 3 stocked ponds, nut trees, tons of wild roses, pear trees and tons to forage. I have permission to do so and he has never done any spraying. its really kinda wild land. Its awesome
