What tips can you share with us to re-use something a person would typically throw away? Here's a tip I once heard: get the most out of your butter wrappers. Save them in a plastic baggy and when a recipe calls for a greased...

momoftwingles My answer to "where do you get these pads?" will probably not surprise you, LOL... I have some that I have gotten through trades with others who make them, but I have begun making them with fabric scraps I have gotten for free or next to nothing (and the...

momoftwingles I've been using cloth pads for a while now...(they're known as "mama cloth" in the "hippie underground") I simply rinse mine when I'm done with it, and soak it in a small bucket with water and some peppermint or tea tree oil. I wash it with my regular laundry...

Have you ever found yourself walking and just realize your aspect on life? I was walking to my car in the Wal Mart parking lot and it hit. I am a mother of three kids and a wife of 11 years. I have a home and a cruddy running...

momoftwingles But don't you feel that you HAVE done something with your life? I guess that's my take on it. I would have thought that this life would have made me very unhappy. This isn't what I WANTED...but this is what, I believe, was meant to be...I married young because...

For those of you who have many children, how do you divide up one on one time so you have special time with each of them? I tend to not necessarily do "one on one" time, but let one of the boys pick the activity and we'll all...

momoftwingles Divide and conquer...LOL... yep, we're outnumbered so that is only partially effective! Thanks for your suggestion!

momoftwingles That is a good separation of time... I tend to do my one on one time with our youngest (almost 4) at bedtime, lots of snuggling and stories and talking just Mommy and Sammy... but he "gets" me a lot during the day as well because the older boys (8 year old...

I make most of our food from scratch. I bake bread a few times a week. I have been doing a kind of a quick yeast bread, its kind of dense, but very good. Today I made cinnamon raisin (I don't generally make it sweet), but these...

momoftwingles I just saw the post titled "sour cream lemon bread", I haven't checked it out yet, but it sounds heavenly!!! I'm definitely all over that! LOL... sounds yummy! The citrus would be good...it would have been good in the cinnamon bread...thanks, great idea!!!

Why does day after day more crimes are commited in christian societies? There does not come a day in the US which someone would murder a fellow human, would do a bank robbery, or would rape a woman. Does Christianity really...

momoftwingles Food for thought, definitely... Society, in general, I think encourages the Christian concept of "sin". Temptation is everywhere. But isn't this so for all peace-based religions? I am not familiar with the Muslim faith to any great degree, but I do know that...

momoftwingles Thanks...LOL, my comment on "flaws" was directly out of the original post. I'm just saying if you are looking for something to be amiss, you will always find something, especially if you are looking at anything through unbelieving eyes. No one is going to get...

I love being a mother more than life itself, but at the moment feel like a huge failure! My 2 boys have been sick for the last month (well for maybe a week in between) and now the youngest who is 16 months has a bad flu & the...

momoftwingles I've not heard of this particluar product and I'm not trying to sell anything, LOL, but colloidal silver (which I'm going to assume that this is or has in it) is a great product, lots of positive qualities.

momoftwingles I almost forgot...this is one of the herbs that I use in a herbal healing salve that I make...the stuff is good for everything from dry skin to diaper rash to bug bites to sunburn... and the turmeric makes it a groovy color too. :)

Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey were on GMA this morning because they are starting a "Green Our Vaccines" rally. They want potentially harmful ingredients, like mercury, to be removed from vaccines. They also suggest that parents...

momoftwingles I should clarify that I am not against others giving their children vax. I am personally against it because of our personal experience and research. I think that if people chose to vaccinate, that is entirely up to them, just as I think that people who choose...

I love cooking. It is one thing I am pretty great at and it tastes much better than anything I can get outside this house. And it is much healthier too. If you think is it a chore or can't boil water without burning it, why...
