It Looks Like a Dried Out Green Bean!

No, no Farmer Girl that's a lovely, little earth worm. Now let's let Urban chick get to work!

Quite surprisingly Urban Chick was going nuts today waiting for Superman to come home so they could start her 1st dissection project. I heart Biology!

A bit grossed out at the prospect of using fingers instead of gloves. Notice the "protective eye wear". Splashes happen.


Getting down to serious business. She even has a secretary to take notes.


I don't think it looks like a green bean... What do you think?

Now that everyone has gotten bored, the "real" dissection can start. CSI? I think not. There's a big difference between an earth worm and a frog (that happens in a couple of weeks). But I'm glad she is so excited! I'm not sure I'm ready for the fetal pig....... Only 3 more earth worms, 4 more crayfish, 4 more frogs, 4 more pigs and 4 more nurse sharks to go! Anyone want to help?

Hi,
Yes, I do make our own bread. :o) Do you too? From the looks of it, you are a home school mom. :o) This is our first year in the school system, we home schooled for 10 1/2 years. Need that "1/2" in there ... it all counts. :o)

So Much to say.

Good Morning All! We had a wonderfully busy, four day weekend here. We started out our time together visiting a reenactment of Civil War life. We had a chance to here the cannons blow and the muskets crack. A little unnerving when your aren't prepared for it. All the Dads in our group were entranced. We learned about Morse code and the telegraph service. How to dress for day, evening and what type of hoop skirt was used for different activities. Everyone enjoyed some sarsaparilla, fried peas, parched corn and fry bread. The chickadees has lots of new ideas for ball gowns and bonnets. ( I think we will have a busy summer.) These were war refugees getting dressed for the day. The hairstyles were so intricate! Did you know that they made specific chairs for men and women? The hoops that women wore couldn't fit into chairs with arms. These chairs were also sold in pairs because married couples were the ones most likely to need them. After leaving the Raid we then headed to Bocia

Nitrate Free Pepperoni

I'm not sure if I should show you the picture or not. I tweaked a recipe from Tammy's Recipes and it is quite tasty. BUT (and it's kind of a big BUT) the color is just not right. So the pepperoni looks a little grey (gross) but again taste SUPER! So here goes nothing.... nitrate free pepperoni See how gray it looks? That's because I used Real Salt (sea salt) instead of curring salts which have all the nitrates and fake pink color (they do this so people won't mistake it for table salt). That pink dye also gives sausages of all types that nice color we are all so used too. All the flavor was still in there and I figured if I'm making this homemade I want it to be as healthy as possible for my family. So why would I add the nitrates? Because I didn't use the pink salt I can't just leave this out in my pantry like you could with some of the store bought stuff. If you do to try this recipe and decide to go "all natural" please make sure that you

Nestor's Party- My Craft Room!

Well I wanted to get these up because Nestor is having a 10 minute to a beautiful room party . This has definitely taken more than 10 minutes. But in my brain it was only suppose to take a day! It's far from finished, but that's what a craft room is for. Right? Here's a couple of before pics during the Children's Christmas play. Basically every surface was covered and I had to move stuff just to work. Five of us craft, sew, scrapbook etc in this room. So space and good storage is an issue. The room is apx.10x11. I really want my daughter's to grow up being Keeper's of their Homes. Home Decorating and Crafting Frugally is a must! You can have a beautiful home on a very tight budget. I also want them to be creative and have a place to show and explore their abilities. ( alrighty let me jump down from my horse; ) Here's some after photos. The paint was from the $5 bin and too yellow. So I added alot of white that we had from another project! Th
