The fact that you don’t rely on your children for content is inspiring!

You are raising children who will be able to do anything when they are old enough to be on their own. You have enabled them to feel confident about themselves. Great job!!!

I loved the creativity of the little one and his sword and shield!

I like to freeze lemon slices to put in my water! Just loosely in a container or flat in a freezer bag so they don't freeze in a clump. I live alone so i've found that this is an excellent way of still having lemon in my drinks without them going bad in my fridge :D

Jamerill, save the water you boiled in your eggs and use it in your garden, its a great source of calcium for your plants. I use my egg water, egg shells, banana skins and coffee grounds, grind them up in your food processor and they're FAB for your houseplants or garden plants.

It’s fun to see other homeschoolers doing as my children did years ago. I was a read aloud mama, too. They are now in their 30’s.

My kids bought me the Aura frame for Mothers Day last year. They upload to it all the time. It’s on my desk at work, all day long I look at it. Best gift ever. ❤

I have found that the bones from Costco chickens make amazing broth/ stock. I buy the chickens and strip the meat and freeze it for meals and use the bones for the stock. The chickens are cheaper than buying them raw and the seasoning on them is amazing in the stock.

I received a Aura frame for Christmas…..what a blessing. My daughter in law 45 miles away can and does send me photos of grandson. The entire family sends photos and we all enjoy each others life in seconds. ♥️

Packing boxes & tape made lots of things in our home including cat beds.

My son's favorite thing when he was little was cardboard boxes and duct tape. He would keep himself amused for HOURS. Love the creativity.

“Was it yesterday or the day before?” Moms felt that in their soul…yep that is mom travel tired

Omg, renting a vrbo for a day or two for a personal or work retreat sounds dreamy.
And, I’m inspired by the jar salads, which are works of art!

My sister used to feed her livestock watermelon seeds, veggie with seeds and she went out in her field and she had a huge watermelon patch lol. It was great. Not fun to think about how they came to existence but hey, they were delicious 😂

[mollysmith]

My guess on your seedlings is that the heat mats should have been turned off when the seedling/first leaves appeared. Next year, maybe don't plan to be away during seed sprouting time. But, you will still have a wonderful garden. Thank you for the reminder of yummy jar salads. I've Ben prepping them in black restaurant-type bowls and enjoying the ones that don't freeze in my fridge. Haha

I love to watch you in the large kitchen that you deserve.

Water as soon as possible and start adding a little fish emulsion to give the tiny plants some extra growing power.

[Tennesseegurly]

You are really giving some great life skills to your babies.

Keurig tip. We were going through the machines like crazy too. We switched to only distilled water in the newest one and we’ve had it over 3 years now.
