Thanks to a post on one of my favorite blogs, MoneySavingMom, I found out about a wonderful family business called Marie-Madeline Studio. This is a sewing business ran by a mother and her daughters and they have some beautiful and feminine products! They sell ready-made items such as skirts (for both women and girls), aprons, ...

It's that time of year again! Let the craziness begin! Perhaps I'm being an optimist for once, but I'm thinking that we may see even better deals this year than we've seen in a long time. It's no secret that the economy is in the tank and it doesn't seem to be improving much. Stores are reporting some seriously low sales. ...

Ok guys. I'm sorry for such an extended (and unannounced) dissapearing act. LOL. Things have been very busy at work and at home. There just hasn't been much time for blogging and, to be honest, my heart hasn't been in to it lately. But I think I'm back on track now. Here is a brief update: Work is work and it's been busy. ...

Praying that your father's health improves... and that your family stays strong during this time. Have a blessed day, Julie

Thanks to a link I found on one of my favorite blogs (Survival Blog), I found a really cook site: the North Dakota State University Extension Site. This site has tons of free plans for things like making your own meat cure box, veggie cellar, a smoke house, roadside stand, sheltered BBQ pit, a fruit drier, a rabbit hutch, etc. They have the pdf ...

Thats a cool "find" Brandy....  I desperately want to home school my children (once we come close to being able to afford me staying home) but hubby totally against that idea. His experience with homschoolars (including our family/neighbors) has not been positive. I wish that we had more interaction with other home school families ...

Erica, I'm very glad that you all are doing much better! I pray that your health continues and that things (like the cough) don't linger too long (even a minor harmless cough can be aggravating, especially for children!). PS> Good job on changing out the toothbrushes! Soooo many people don't realize this. I had a coworker ...

zohner farms, Thanks for sharing that useful info! For you and any others out there on DS in the medical profession... I have a question: Is it a good idea for us (DH and I) and both the kids (DS is 9months and DD is 2.5 years) to get the pnemonia vaccination? I didn't even know there was a such thing until a couple months ago. I'm ...

Those of you who are experiecning H1N1 in your home and immediate family, I pray that all health improves! And I pray for those moms and dads who don't have it that they stay strong (bothy physically and emotionally) while taking care of their family members. I'm a mom myself and even when my kids get a minor little throw-up virus, I just ...
