Why is it that when other people know we school at home, they continue to call during school hours? I keep my phone in another room to limit interruptions.When I call them back later I always explain that we were having school and...

Kellrae I think you're right. I try to make my calls when I know the people won't be bothered. My sister's baby naps at the same time every day, so I try not to disturb her then. There's elderly people at church who sleep in. And some who go to bed at dusk. I try to...

I love making Homemade yeast bread, but it seems that we don't eat it fast enough for it to not harden or go bad. Will homemade bread freeze good? I know I freeze store bought bread alot, but I prefer homemade and so does my...

Kellrae That's the way I freeze my homemade bread. I also cut up pieces that have started to get stale into cubes. I can freeze these in a ziploc bag. I'll pop them in my blender when I need breadcubes. When I get a whole bag of cubes, I make stuffing. My family loves...

Kellrae I guess most people don't understand homeschoolers, anyway. My dad's about to retire and he told me the other day that he plans to spend lots of time with the grandkids. I told him he's welcome to pick them up anytime after school. I think it surprised him,...

My dd has recently started wetting the bed again. She has done this off and on since she was four. She is now nine. What do you do for your children who wet the bed?

Kellrae I think you're right. We just underwent a huge stress in our household, and even though it's over, she still could be nervous about it. We've also been sick around here and eating much more junkie than we usually do. It's affecting her adhd, too.

My dd was playing Batman and Robin when she fell off the top of her playhouse. She broke both bones in her lower right arm. Have your kids ever done anything crazy while playing super heroes?

Kellrae I'm sorry to hear of your struggles. My dd was on the adhd line pretty close to bipolar, or so her therapist said! We've been eating really junkie lately and she actually told a grown up to shutup today! My other dd told me about it and I made her apologize....

Kellrae I have a friend from church that uses echinacea. She asked me last week why I wasn't using it. She uses the kind with goldenseal in it. I don't know if goldenseal is safe for kids, though. I need to get some, most definately!

Kellrae Well, I guess wanting and not having builds character and patience. Unless it's groceries. Then, I think it would just build hunger pains LOL!

Last week, my dd broke her arm. The ER referred me to an orthopedist. My insurance will only take referrals from my regular Dr. So, I call the Dr. I have to come in for an appt. before I can get a refferal. Okay,says I, I live 20...

Kellrae It used to not be that way. Even though we've always had looong waits in the lobby (up to four hours but averaging 2-3). When I went into the room, he was wearing a doctor's mask and wouldn't shake my hand. I was afraid I'd catch something from him! The nurse...

Kellrae I believe the Walla Walla onion is a sweet onion.Something to do with the soil there. I've read that if you grow them other places, it won't be the same. Anyway, spitting is gross. It's gross and germy. And if they spit alot, then they probably "hocked a...

Kellrae Thank you. I got tired of hearing me complain about it, too! The best part is that as I learn to cook healthier, my hubby has lost over 40 pounds, too. I try to teach my kids why we are eating differently, so they won't struggle when they are adults. None of...

Kellrae Wow, you are more motivated to exercise than I am. I mostly get mine from playing with the kids at home and at church. I go more for the nutrition side of dieting. Whole grains, that sort of thing. My friend joined the army right out of high school and she did...
