If I'm not mistaken, Kashti first encountered the beach at Oak Island.

I definitely recommend looking into what it takes to convince the CC that she is a worthy student. My local CC eventually let me in at 14, although they put a weird restriction on me that I could only take a certain number of credits per semester. Also, this might be the most important reason for taking the SAT: you'll probably need her scores in order to convince the bureaucrats to let her in early. If she can get a score that is above their average student, it should be much easier to convince them to take your money. A little Princeton Review, and she'll probably be fine.

Weird, frustrating, PITA. Whatever. It's still worth it (IMHO).

You have brought up really very good topic, I must agree many of us parents try to get our dreams fulfilled through our kids and in the process we tend to ignore what the child needs!

Thanks for the tip! I've done the frozen banana thing before. Didn't have any handy, plus just one frozen banana - as the recipe called for only 1 banana - wouldn't have been enough to slush the thing out.

I know agave nectar is sold around here - for exorbitant prices and not in bulk. The kids and I like it, so it made sense to buy it in quantity as we'll end up using it regardless of what kind of foods I'm cooking or un-cooking.

Try freezing the bananas. Works wonders for smoothies.

Thanks! As I mentioned, I've been working hard. I'm pretty determined because Avdi and I want to have as many babies as my "old" body will allow. :-)

Raw dairy rocks! Where are you that you can buy raw? Do you get yours directly from the farm, or through a co-op, or a retailer? The farm we get ours from is seasonal - during the colder months their cows don't produce as much milk and what they do produce is only enough for their family, so I have to wait until March/April before I can buy from them again. Meanwhile we're fortunate enough that the local grocer can sell raw organic milk.

I found your blog recently, and I love the content! We just recently started drinking raw milk, using raw dairy products from a biodynamic farm. I love it! And kudos to you on your weight loss! What an inspiration! :)

Re: Baby Food & Laundry Soap

Stacey — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 10:37:00 -0000

It costs about $.11 per load. I make a double batch which will give me >128 loads. And, for the record, I do get expensive, organic bar soap to use in the recipe, although there's no reason why anyone should have to do that. I just prefer it. As far as I know it's better on the environment, and I get to customize the frangrance of my laundry soap. The detergent (note there is a difference between laundry soap and laundry detergent) that I use for the diapers does come out cheaper per load, at about $.07 per, but I have to use more of it at a time. And I only use it for diapers and nothing else so it lasts a good long time. I do about 2-3 loads of diapers per week.

It sounds like we might be using the same detergent, or a similarly priced one anyway. :-)

I've found commercial, even organic, baby foods are very runny and harder to feed to Kashti than the stuff I've made. All of the baby food I've made for him is finely pureed, but not so watery that it drips off the spoon when he eats it. K has a way of blowing out just before he takes a bite, so the commercial stuff will go flying off the spoon before it makes it into his eagerly waiting mouth. He loves what I've made, and so far that include bananas, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, avocado, and I also give him unsweetened commercial apple sauce. Should probably find an organic source for that.

There are several ways that can go: reduce/relax your expectations and remind yourselves that the next frolic is just around the corner, have shorter frolics, or get a larger board. ;-)

Do you have a fun name for the "backlog"? :-)

This is a very cool idea. You'll have to explain more when you come visit.

Re: Baby Food & Laundry Soap

Kimberley — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 09:37:07 -0000

I'd be interested in how much the laundry soap costs. I usually pay 2.25 per 32 loads (at least what the bottle says it 32 loads, I don't use as much as it says and I've never charted how many actual loads it goes for,)

Arie would never eat baby food. I bought about 35 jars of it for 5 cents a jar on average and even at that price it was a waste, i gave away or still have probably 25 jars, lol.

ovulation days — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 15:53:01 -0000

Many women however strange know what ovulation
Ovulation – it is the stage of menstrual cycle, during which in one of ovaries a follicle is torn and formed yellow body. That, during ovulation ripening ovule, ready to the impregnation, goes out from a follicle and follows to the uterus on uterine pipes (by their hairs). In an uterus at this time there is transformation of mucous membrane – endometriya. New mews appear in him, the network of blood vessels broadens. All of it is necessary in order that, in the case of impregnation, an embryo got nutritives. A yellow body is sekretiruet hormones, especially important during pregnancy here. Menstruation begins in opposite case, and a yellow body is exposed to gradual regress.

Re: Know your neighbors

Philip Brewer — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 15:20:28 -0000

Everybody's security goes up when all the neighbors take an interest.

Beyond that, there are huge opportunities to raise everyone's standard of living through sharing. There are plenty of ways that are literally cost-free (such as car pooling and giving surplus garden produce to neighbors without gardens). There are others that cost so little as to be negligible (cooking a few extra servings of a meal to share with a neighbor who's suffering through an emergency). If you can get to know the neighbors well enough to feel comfortable doing things like sharing tools, the payoff is huge--how many lawn mowers/snow blowers/bbq grills does a neighborhood need?
