I think if you are worried about your kids being spoiled... they probably aren't. The kids who are too spoiled are the ones who have parents that never even consider that they may be spoiling their kids, imo. I think if your children have responsibilities around the house, they probably aren't...
We had a tankless heater put in as part of our remodeling efforts. I LOVE that it takes up very little space, just fits into the wall between two studs. It sticks out of the wall on the outside a couple inches, but we bought the housing to put it in, so all you see is a smooth metal box (like...
I would do as others have said, look at the menu and only pack lunches on those days that you don't like what the school is serving. I agree that $.55 is impossible for me to beat.
I didn't use cloth diapers but if I had it to do over again, I think I would at least try them.
I know how you feel. The place I am going to try and get goats from sells marans and blrw, two breeds that are on my list to get next time around. If I get goats from her, I may just have to get some chicks also...
When I was growing up I had a Newfoundland that would pull us in our sled across the snow, frozen lakes, etc. She always seemed to enjoy it, and I know we did! Both my dogs are pulling breeds and we already know Chewie loves to pull me on my bike (I don't have to pedal at all). You can bet I...
I have some small cucumbers that I would like to make into pickles. I have one recipe for spicy pickles, but I don't know that my boys will like it. Does anyone have a recipe for whole refrigerator pickles (the boys like whole better than sliced), that they would like to share?
Here are my two dogs. They are in training (and will be for the next year) to do cart pulling. I intend on them being able to help out around the farm (as soon as we move...). They are both breeds built for pulling and as long as Chewie (the tri-color), doesn't outgrow Oreo too much, they...
I made a loaf of this today, (still have dough for another loaf in the fridge). I used only white flour because I had just run out of wheat flour. I turned out nicely. The flavor reminds me of sourdough bread. I made mine in a loaf pan so that it is easier to get uniform slices for...
Beekissed, I need to buy some shortening as well. I've been trying to make more of our stuff from scratch the last week or two rather than using mixes. I had to use margarine for my biscuits rather than shortening... big difference!
I want it!!! I love pumpkin fudge but don't have a recipe for it. I always prefer to use a recipe I know someone has tried and recommends rather than just one I pull off the internet.
Pat said it for me again. I also did not actually think YOU have been kicking your cat. I was speaking in generalities that I don't agree that just because someone owns a pet, it means they are allowed to do whatever they want to/with it.

We are putting in bananas, I have no idea if we will actually get fruit from them though. My husband says we should but I have my doubts. We are also putting in an orange, plum, apple, and perhaps lemon or peach. I'd love an avacado tree, but I'm the only one who eats them.
If I eat a hotdog, I usually put relish, mustard, and onions on it. I have had chili dogs before, but like I said, since I don't eat them but a couple times a year, I haven't had a lot of time to experiment, lol. I have just never before heard of hotdog sauce. Neither had my husband. If we...
