First of she gives us the plans for free! She also tries not to use any specialty tools so that anybody could make these pieces!<br />I've always wanted wall to wall good quality wooden furniture but could never afford it! But now I can and I will also have the pride of knowing that I made it myself! This are the kind of heirloom pieces that you can pass down to your children. How many people can say that about their furniture any more?<br /><br />Another cool blog is "<a href="http://www.younghouselove.com">younghouselove</a>" Right now they are having a give away of a Jig Saw. They are a couple who bought house and are sharing their adventures in fixing it up! It is very inspiring!<br /><br />Well thanks for stopping by! And feel free to let me know what your favorite sites are! I'm always on the look out for inspiration.Habenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11010524947779362763noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7340634313429532603.post-29237454338154642452009-10-01T16:12:00.003-04:002009-10-01T16:38:49.591-04:00Asking for HelpThis is an on going struggle for me. It is so funny to me that I am 30 something years old and I am <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">just</span> now learning things about myself. I blame homeschooling for this. I guess I was just in denial before? Who knows.<br /><br />Any ways, asking for help is extremely hard for me! I guess I'm afraid that people will tell me "No", or that they will think that I can't handle things. <br /><br />But I've noticed that when I <span style="font-weight: bold;">do</span> ask, I have been blessed with the help that I need. Gives new meaning to the scriptures, "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:" Matt. 7:7 and D.C. 4:7.<br /><br />So why is it so hard to ask for help? If anyone were to come up to you for help, you would give it if you could, right? Well than what is the difference?<br /><br />A friend of mine once said that by not asking I am robbing others the blessings of saying yes. Never thought of it like that before!!!<br /><br />Heavenly Father, I know that we are not meant to journey on this Earth alone, so please help me to put my pride aside and ask for help when I need it.Habenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11010524947779362763noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7340634313429532603.post-24989708532143732022009-10-01T09:56:00.004-04:002009-10-01T10:14:59.620-04:00The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints' General Conference April 2009<object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/cN53-3Mv8Eo&hl=en&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/cN53-3Mv8Eo&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object><br /><br /><br />Come join us for our next General Conference which will be held on October 3-4.

I love Jeannie's unique"Creation" approach to the sciences!<br /><br /><br />Jeannie Fulbright has an amazing gift for writing about Heavenly Father's creations in such an easy to understand and yet enticing manner. She is not preachy or pushy about any specific religious affiliations, which makes it easy to feel her love for God.It is so refreshing to have science explained through the awe and wonder of all our Heavenly Father has created for us.<br /><br />We are enjoying studying about astronomy with Jeannie right now. And it has been a wonderful experience. We can't wait to study the rest of the series.<br /><br />If you'd like to learn more about her products go to <a href="http://apologia.securesites.net/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1">http://apologia.securesites.net/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1</a>Habenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11010524947779362763noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7340634313429532603.post-9686415590314559912009-09-13T18:25:00.030-04:002009-09-13T23:55:53.795-04:00My Little Girl<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinIFT72CQsJHWbI0I3FOn7wkSQJHgRtvKLh521f0pIH9YePjOQ1_rG1ztGCGWQ7LQQmxemZQnieOL16mlMlGeJLsPiTx0pDrzs1nh5WMZ1lBTiQ0JAZRMXt_ZoiOlSTDuKW5UZ8S6EbpY3/s1600-h/Hello+Alexis.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt;

And one of the ways they encourage us to do so, is by having 3 months to a year's worth of food store up. This is nice to have when there is an unexpected decrease in income such as a lay-off or illness. This also makes it possible to not be completely dependent on the grocery stores. When a natural disaster hits, your local Walmart shelves can be swept clean within hours. Stores don't stock things like they use to and it may take days maybe even weeks before they are restocked during a disaster. We've all heard the news in the last couple of years, times are tough right now. So when something, like any of these scenarios, happens it is good to be prepared. I've heard it said that it's better to have money invested in a year's worth of food than to have that money in the bank. For instance, what if that same natural disaster makes it impossible to get to the bank and get your money out. How would you feed your family during that time? There is a certain peace of mind that comes during these tumultuous times when you know all is prepared and stored safely away. <br /><br />So how do you go about gathering a year's supply of food? I know this can sound overwhelming but if you start slowly, like buying a few extra cans or boxes of the foods your family normally eats and check out some of the links I have listed, you'll be off to a good start. And you'll feel more at ease the next time, say, your car brakes down and needs repairs.<br /><a href="http://www.homestorage.crookedtreefarm.com">www.homestorage.crookedtreefarm.com</a><br /><a href="http://www.lds.org/Static%20Files/PDF/Magazines/Liahona/English/2009/LI_2009_03_04___04283_000_005.pdf">http://www.lds.org/Static%20Files/PDF/Magazines/Liahona/English/2009/LI_2009_03_04___04283_000_005.pdf</a><br /><br />Once you've gotten the idea of what food storage is, I have some tips to help you get started... <br />1. Sit down and make a 2 week <span style="font-weight:bold;">menu</span> (including all ingredients) of the meals your family is use to eating. This is <span style="font-weight:bold;">no time</span> to get creative and try out new dishes. If your family is under extreme stress there is nothing like comfort food to make everyone feel safe and secure. So write a menu of the foods you're use to cooking and you know your family likes. Double this menu. Families usually eat the same thing twice during a month. Make sure you've included breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. This should give you an idea of what kinds of foods to stock up on. <br />2. Buying in bulk can be good as long as you can eat all of the food before it goes bad.<br />3. Once you start bringing your food home, make sure you mark and rotate your food. The idea is to eat the food you already have and rotate in new food as you use it. To do this you'll need to get a permanent marker and mark (on the items)the date you bought the items you bring home from the store. This system helps you see immediately which items are new and which are older. The reason for doing this is to try and cut down on waste. We've all found food in our cabinets that we are not sure if it's still good or not. Wasted food means wasted money.<br />4.An excellent way to get your food storage up is by growing a garden. You can then put up your harvest by canning, freezing, and/or drying it.<br />5. We've also been counseled not to go into debt to get our food storage. Just do it a little at a time, bit by bit. And you will be blessed for your efforts.<br /><br />Our church also recommends that we have a 72 hr kit for every one in the family, in case we have to leave our homes quickly and suddenly. This allows us to be able to get our kits and walk out the door within a moment's notice and have everything we need to survive for 3 days. Here is a couple links for disaster preparedness.<br /><a href="http://www.fema.gov/">www.fema.gov/</a><br /><a href="http://www.redcross.org/">www.redcross.org/</a> <br /><a href="http://www.osha.gov/dts/oohn/disasterrecovery_shchecklist.html">http://www.osha.gov/dts/oohn/disasterrecovery_shchecklist.html</a><br /><br />I am making this entry not to alarm or scare anyone. I just wanted to bear testimony that if we do all in our power to be prepared, we will feel at peace even if the world around us is in discord.Habenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11010524947779362763noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7340634313429532603.post-26710285099610237182009-03-31T16:09:00.002-04:002009-03-31T17:16:48.587-04:00What are your favorite homeschooling tips, websites, books to read, etc.?I'm just curious. It's a very rainy day and I'm taking some me time to blog today. So tell me what are you favorite things you use in your homeschooling routine? It could be anything from a smart idea that helped pull your homeschool together, your favorite curriculum, books you've read as a family, places you've visited. Some of my favorite things are <a href="http://www.currclick.com/index.php">Currclick</a> . They have <blockquote></blockquote>Affordable curriculum, lapbooks, & homeschooling resources.<blockquote></blockquote> They also have a freebie every week. And I'm not talking about cheesy freebies. I'm talking about things like downloadable lapbooks. And if you sign up for their newsletter they will alert you of the freebie every week. I really like <a href="http://www.sonlight.com/">Sonlight</a> for a complete curriculum. They believe in teaching through "Living Books". If you are like me though and can't afford to buy the whole thing I just piece mine together used. I also like a company called <a href="http://beautifulfeetbooks.com/">Beautiful Feet Books</a> , they also offer a "Living Books" curriculum. Theirs is not a complete curric though, they are more the reading and history part. You have to add math science and such. A few other great resources are <a href="http://www.ldfr.com">Latter-day Family</a> Resources, and <a href="http://www.tobinslab.com">Tobin's Lab</a>. LDFR has pretty much everything you need for HSing or it can just give you some good ideas. I take their books and look for them at the library or try and find them cheaper on Amazon.com, ebay, or local HS book sales. Tobins Lab is a great place to find <blockquote></blockquote>Hands-On Science Materials For Families<blockquote></blockquote>. Some great FREE resources are your local homeschool groups. And if you can't find any locally, you can always search <span style="font-weight:bold;">yahoo groups</span> for a HS group that tickles your fancy. Being able to get support and advice is invaluable when you are first starting out. In our local HS group we alert each other of field trip opportunities (usually free or inexpensive)and are try to help each other with any questions and/or concerns we may have. Its really nice to know there are others out there who have gone through the same things I am. <br />But my best piece of advice I can think of right now is...Things will not always be perfect, nor do I think they should be(there's no learning in perfect, we learn through mistakes), but that's okay! Figure out what works for you and your children. This may take months or even years,( I've talked to many veteran HS moms who, through the years, learned to keep an open mind when it comes to curriculum.) If it does work for your family find something that does. Don't buy anything pricey without getting it in your hands and really looking at it first. See if you can borrow it for a few days from a HS friend. Then if you still like it, pray about it. Again I try to get things used as much as possible. Any ways after you've gotten your routine down, <span style="font-weight:bold;">RELAX</span> and have fun with your kiddos. Learning is so much fun if you let it be.Habenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11010524947779362763noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7340634313429532603.post-34912981748545160252009-03-31T15:17:00.007-04:002009-08-01T00:42:00.707-04:00Community Supported Agriculture ( CSA )We have a farm down the road from us (<a href="http://www.randlefarms.com/csa.htm">Randle Farms</a>) that allows those in the community who are interested, to be able to pay for a share of the farm's harvest. So I bit the bullet and went for it. I'm so excited to get fresh produce that still has its nutrients in it. Did you know that by the time most produce arrives at the supermarket it has lost almost all of its nutrients. And don't even get me started on pesticides. SO other than growing my own garden <span style="font-weight: bold;">(WHICH I HIGHLY RECOMMEND)</span> this is the next best thing. You may be asking yourself why I don't just grow my own garden, and my lame excuse is that I'm a one task at a time kinda gal. And with just starting Home Schooling this year, I'm not ready to start another project just yet. But I do intend on making gardening part of our HS routine in the near future.<br />If <span style="font-weight: bold;">you<span style="font-style: italic;"></span></span> are curious about CSA Farming, just click on Randle Farms up above, and it will take you to the page where they explain this service. Then maybe you'll want to google a farm near you. Its a wonderful thing, you get to support local farms and you get fresh produce. Truly a win/win situation.Habenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11010524947779362763noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7340634313429532603.post-85960987166023442092009-03-31T14:31:00.005-04:002009-03-31T15:09:10.606-04:00From Snow one Week...

It was like a dream come true for our kiddos. It was Sunday morning and my hubby had just gotten up to take a shower for church when he came back into the bedroom where I was uncharacteristically(wow that's a long word) sleeping in <span style="font-weight:bold;">: )</span>. And he says "You are not going to believe this!" Thinking this was an attempt to get me out of bed I groggily say "What?" <br />"It's SNOWING!!!"<br />"Really?" <br />"Come look"<br />And so it was. We decided to skip church that day just in case it would be melted by the time we got home. Which is what typically happens if we are lucky enough to even get flakes. So we went and gently woke up the munchkins and told them to look outside. They immediately became excited and wanted to run outside and play in it. It didn't look like it was going to last very long at first, so we decided to go further north to see if we could find enough to play in. But by the time we were able to dress everyone in layers and try to scrounge up and dust off the necessary gloves and hats, which luckily I had just gone and bought some because of the last cold snap we had. (Yes, that's all we usually get in Alabama <span style="font-style:italic;">A Cold Snap</span>. They don't really even sell snow appropriate gear where we live.) Any ways by the time we got ready to leave it was snowing really hard. So we decided to call Granny and see if we could go over there instead. The drive over was like a <span style="font-style:italic;">Winter Wonderland</span>. Every where you looked the world was blanketed in glorious snow! <br />The kids had a blast playing in it, so did Bryan. Rick stayed out in it pretty much the whole day. They made snow men and snow angels and had snow ball fights and even tried to make a few forts. But not being use to snow, they didn't realize how wet and cold it is. All and all I'm so glad Heavenly Father answered our children's prayers this year and let it snow. It will be a treasured childhood memory. <br />By the way the next week it was warm enough to go swimming.

One of which is Natural Moms group. This is a place where moms can help each other out with anything natural. The other day I was asking advise on how to treat a sick baby at home. I got some wonderful responses back.<br /><br />This got me thinking that maybe other moms would like to share their favorite home remedies. I would really like to know what other moms do at home to take care of their families.<br /><br />I'll try to start the ball roll'n....<br />-My mom brought me up on Tissue Salts, they are totally homoeopathic and don't have any side affects that I know of [I would know because when I was little I would eat the whole bottle. I think this maybe one of the reasons I never get sick.].<br />-And I highly recommend Teething Tablets which are vary similar. When you are at the end of your rope at 2 o'clock in the morning, thinking your baby is never going to settle down and go to sleep, Teething Tablets work like a charm every time.<br /><br />Ok so there's my secret weapons. I'd love to see what great knowledge the rest of you ladies have to share.

And I am finally at a point where I am serious about doing something about it. I'm so tired of never having anything to show for the money my husband works so hard to make. I'm tired of our checking account being overdrawn. I'm tired of not having the money to buy new furniture when the hand-me-downs finally give out. I want to learn to save. I want to be satisfied with what I have, and I don't have to have alot. But I would like to have the money when I need it. Ok Ok I would like to be able to travel with my children. But other than that I can learn to do better. I've always thought I was thrifty, I shop sales and frequent thrift stores. But even doing those things can eat your money if you don't have a set limit on how much you allow yourself to spend. We think that just because it is a sale or at a yard sale we're getting a good deal, but I think our culture is so obsessed with getting a deal that we lose site of what is really important. So when is enough enough? Is it ok to not be able to pay our monthly bills as long as we get a great deal on that new flat screen tv that was marked down $200? Of course not but in the moment we're not thinking of the bills, all we're thinking about is how much we saved on the monster we just bought. Sorry I can get a little philosophical sometimes, but you have to admit that our priorities can get really screwed up sometimes.<br /><br />So what can we do to change? IF you have any great advise for saving money let me hear it. I could really use the help!!!<br /><br />I've never been able to go by a budget because my husband's income is constantly fluctuating. So I could use some advise here to.<br /><br />Any one have any success with the envelope method of paying bills and saving for certain things?Habenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11010524947779362763noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7340634313429532603.post-69100977952114673952009-01-07T10:32:00.005-05:002009-01-08T15:51:39.297-05:00Another contest!!!<h3 class="entry-header">GIVEAWAY!
