The best diaper bag I ever had, opened up completely (zippers on the sides) and was lined with a PUL type fabric, it was lightly padded, and served as a changing pad when open. I took it everywhere - disneyland, seaworld etc. It didn't hold a heck of a lot as far as changing supplies, but once...
In our area, there are often auctions, where folk are selling out EVERYTHING, you can get great deals. We bought a lot of our gardening tools from auctions - in lots. We also picked up a shop vac and a table saw for good prices.
Save your money till you get to you "farm"... your priorities...
Thats awesome, I might try that with all the jeans I have lying around, I don't think I'd have very long pieces, but it should work... perhaps I can sew the strips together... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm :D
This is where I got my fabric - this time and for the couch I covered last year. Their prices are pretty good, they ship well, with the fabric on a roll.

If you can find remnants in big enough pieces in fabric you like, then its an extra bargain!!
:thumbsup I just friggin spent $100 on fabric to cover our loveseat. It currently looks like it was pulled out a dumpster, full of rips and cat claw scratches. "bout time I recovered the junky thing, I'm tired of covering it with blankets.
See I might say something like that to my MIL :hide because I know without a doubt she'd knit something with the scratchiest cheapest yarn she could find.
Well, thats exactly what she did do, she made a blanket (Crochet) for my son, and I couldn't use it, it was hard and scratchy and had...
:gig my 11 year old eats more than I do, and he can fit into my boots already - little booger is going to be taller than me soon. :he
Where do these big eating kids put all the food? I know they're more active, but for heavens sake! My 11 year old is skinny as a rail.
I think I decided on Dinner.
I put the chicken breasts in the crockpot with enchilada sauce. I'll let them cook till dinner time, then shred them up and roll them up in tortilla's and bake em for a bit with the sauce and cheese.
I'll make a side of brown rice with veggies chopped up small...
That right there is the problem here - I don't even WANT to cook anymore because there is always at least one unhappy customer, its just so depressing, or when plates go back to the kitchen with two bites taken, I just wonder why the heck I bothered in the first place.
No I haven't seen that. I can get em to eat potato pretty easily, the little one is only whiny when the potato get to her plate and it still has the skin on! :gig I love them just boiled in their jackets like that. I can generally pop a dab of sour cream on it and she'll eat most of it.
I know my kids are terribly spoiled by me trying to make things they'll actually like and eat.
My sister has an eating disorder, and I'm terrified my kids will end up with something like that. The rule when we were kids was you don't leave the table till your plate is empty, needless to say...
I've fried up thin shaved potato before - but it never last long around here.
I love REAL mashed potato, with the small chunky bits - you can't get that out a box. Mashed with butter and Milk - YUM!
I wish I had someone to cook for me, even just two times a week. :rolleyes:
I do have fresh ginger in the fridge from a different meal project - so I can use some of that grated up...
I would skip the peanut butter - cause I'm picky too, both kids would eat it but my siblings used peanut butter to tease me as a kid and I won't touch the stuff. :gig
My two are normally starving by the time 6pm rolls around, my son will melt down if he gets too hungry, very moody child if he's not fed properly. I don't think they could handle it, not old enough for something like that. My daughter is only 6, she'd go find some junk if I didn't feed her -...
