My kids are still too little, so we haven't tried them yet. As a place to gather and store information about a subject (instead of a plain notebook), they seem like they might be a good visual aid, but I wonder about the frustration level if they have too much to do(cutting, pasting, folding...

Just found this site. Haven't downloaded these pages yet, but it looks interesting...http://themultitaskinmom.com/chicken-resources-and-a-freebie/

Is it the noise he is afraid of or the actual spray mist? Few things to try...find a safe empty spray container(old fly spray container should work) and put water in it (so you don't waste the spray). Every time you mess with him, try spraying. First try spraying beside him (not on him)...

Oh, and I forgot one of the biggest resources for free books-- Project Gutenberg (www.gutenberg.org) It has a lot of older/classic books for free.

I downloaded this program. Lots of good books on there. I was able to download a few. They are stored as DjVu files...can convert them or pull them over as is onto a tablet so the kids can read them without being on the computer. We also use Overdrive through our local library (lots of...

Good hearing success stories. Gives us something to look forward to. Right now he wants to be either an astronaut or Batman. We shall see how it turns out. He is kind of timid, so don't know how much the Batman thing will work out for him. His sister is the polar opposite. Very...

We do craft projects normally (more painting than anything). But they don't get too much opportunity to see real art, so I purchased a big book on artwork that we are going to flip through a little at a time and just look at the pictures/sculptures/etc and see all the different types. The...

Yes. We are starting with level one. We 'tested' the system. Went through the cards one-by-one to see if they knew the sounds, then they got to use the app (the old one that has more than the alphabet), to check if they were correct. They thought it was a lot of fun. The books are step by...

We are going with a mixed program also. "All About Spelling", DK Science with DK Science Workbooks (and plenty of 'hands on' experiments), lots of handwriting (copywork), probably Saxon Math for the 1st Grader, introduce art and music (very basic--read a brief page/book about artist/composer...

Great thread! Great links. We are just getting started in homeschooling so look forward to all the information we can get. Will be working on Kindergarten and 1st Grade. We are lucky Oklahoma is an easy to homeschool state, but still a little nervous about taking this on full time. (We did...

What's even more sad...they knew exactly what they were doing. They had been trying to get rid of the arena for years. Too bad, at one time it was a very nice little arena.

This is the same 'area' that had a riding arena at the park. It had been there for many, many years and was free for groups to use for different events. It had some pretty big events there and was surrounded by nice big trees which provided lots of shade to ride/park under. Then they decided...

Did you see this article on petitions? http://enidnews.com/localnews/x546171566/Petition-on-livestock-ordinance-declared-invalid-by-Enid-officials The first petition to remove a more strict ordinance was not allowed because it wasn't filed prior to being circulated. If you search the Enid...

This was a very heated issue a few years ago...found one article in the Enid paper here: http://enidnews.com/localnews/x603548091/City-s-not-horsin-around-this-time-New-livestock-plan-an-improvement-over-last-try-previous-dissenters-say. There are more articles, but this was the first I could...

Used to work in Access a lot... Where is the 'row' you are referring to? Is it on the form or in a report? Is the form in a datasheet format? Also, are you familiar with VBA at all? It is where you can do the major stuff for forms/reports/etc on Access (and other MS programs). Need a...

There actually are special loans and grants for young farmers. Check out the Department of Agriculture or Rural Development sites. There is a bunch of stuff available for the first 5 or 10 years or so. (At least there was the last time I was checking.) Also, check with your local extension...

I use Bum Genius and Fuzzi Bunz. I think the Fuzzi Bunz have a little more adjustment when the little ones get bigger. Can use regular flat-fold diapers for inserts too if needed--just fold and insert into the pocket. Works great. Although I purchased from diapers.com, cottonbabies.com has a...

Make sure it has a really good stop on it. Voice commands are nice--especially a "whoa" command. Try different patterns using a variety of circles, straight lines, stops, turns, backing up. Just make them up and use various gates. Can you pick up something from off a barrel, sidepass in the...

We had a non-catalytic Jotul wood stove. Loved it. Purchased the non-catalytic version because we didn't want the yearly maintenance/replacement of the catalytic part. They are heavy cast iron. Heated very well. Loaded it once in the morning and once in the evening and it would heat all...
