Except in winter when it's horribly cold I don't always make the kids go outside for chores. Like -20 is just too much!

Sheesh - that's too much for anybody!

I love that she reads so much and so eagerly. My DS read maybe 3 books so far, not from lack of trying from my side!

I can't get her to stop! I feel bad making her stop reading to do other things!

Day 1 no dairy. I feel good. Hmm.

That might be the answer... No more dairy? That would kill me! What about ice cream?

I actually remember having issues with ice cream when I was dating an old boyfriend who loved it lol. And have since (was probably before that, I just remember it that far back!) That was.... 12 years ago? I always thought it was the sugar

They make coconut milk ice cream, must try it. Apparently.

Coconut milk ice cream sounds kinda good! coconut ice cream with chocolate syrup... There I go obsessing about food again...

 

[NH Homesteader]

sorry!

So I have been doing some reading, and it's interesting to see that different ethnicities are predisposed to lactose intolerance. Apparently Native Americans have a rather high rate of it. Which makes sense as they were hunter/gatherers. I am definitely part Native American so I found that interesting!

That is not a bad thing! So many kids nowadays are glued to phones and PlayStations, it's crazy.

Do you react to unpasteurized milk or is it all milk? Sometimes people can drink the unpasteurized milk, as the live bacteria helps to digest the milk.
