I attended one last weekend. While I did not seem to glean any new information from her seminar as I have been researching vaccines for nearly ten years, I would recommend any person with an open mind to attend her talk. It's important to keep an eye on who conducts these studies that you reference. They may not be third parties. Everyone has an agenda these days . . . Treat Migraines with a Visit to the Chiropractor? - Blog Entry22 Apr 2008 06:11 AM No, there may be no magic cure for a migraine for many people, but for me chiro care WAS that magic cure! I've had daily headaches as far back as fourth grade, that I can remember, and they disappear with regular chiropractic care. :) More Uses for Cans 2 - Blog Entry12 Apr 2008 01:15 PM Baking in them is probably not a very good idea because many of them are lined with a plastic called BPA - it already leaches into food that is stored inside the tin cans, but baking food in them would cause it all to transfer right onto whatever is being baked. :( Finding a Frugal Community - Blog Entry12 Apr 2008 01:02 PM I was very successful finding a frugal/like-minded community through Yahoo Groups. I am willing to bet that most areas have a local Yahoo Group dedicated to just about anything, and if a person did a search for "frugal moms" or something similar they could come across a great group in their area! It's incredibly important to me to have a community to relate to. I absolutely adore the friends I've made this way! Treating Whiteheads Naturally - Blog Entry08 Apr 2008 12:49 PM I have found that you don't even have to buy a product with TTO in it, but can use TTO as a skin toner. Simply wet a cotton ball and put a drop or two of pure essential tea tree oil on it, and apply to your skin just as you would an alcohol-based toner, after washing and before moisturizing. Everyone should have a bottle of TTO around the house! ~Sara New Uses for Bottle Caps - Blog Entry08 Apr 2008 09:45 AM I make artistic magnets by arranging teeny found objects in bottle caps and then filling them with a clear compound and putting a magnet on back. They can be personalized and given as gifts! Don't Be a Breast Milk Bully - Blog Entry08 Apr 2008 07:33 AM I try hard to be a breastfeeding advocate without being a bully at the same time, but sometimes even when I feel like I am being very diplomatic there is still one woman or another who is already on the defensive and sees my advice or even just my sharing of my experiences as bullying. Ditto to marymac regarding her "big girl panties" hehehe! It's my opinon that if a woman allows herself to be made feel inadequate about the parenting choices she's made, she has to internalize those feelings and not blame other people for making her feel that way. Just the fact that we all make different choices as parents can be offensive to someone on the other side of the spectrum in that if they aren't confident in their own parenting, they can easily take the differences as a sign that they must be doing something wrong. I am less than proud of some of the decisions I've made in the past but I continuously try to improve my skills and don't let other people make me feel bad for the mistakes I've made. I own them, they're mine and I move forward. Picking Our Own Trash - Blog Entry08 Apr 2008 07:09 AM I was going to suggest using the lint for felting, too, uncommonhomemaker! Nothing but lint is allowed in my laundry room basket for this reason. :) Homemade Baby Food: It's Easier than You Think - Blog Entry06 Apr 2008 02:52 PM Since we delayed solids, we easily avoided canned food: When we started them, any food that wasn't soft naturally (avocado, banana, etc) was off-limits until baby had enough teeth to chew, then we simply introduced her to eating table food with the family. :) ~Sara Planning for a New Baby - Blog Entry06 Apr 2008 02:46 PM This article may also be helpful :) http://pregnancy.families.com/blog/lets-talk-about-offsetting-the-financial-squeeze-of-parenting |
