On May 1, 2012, in Fitness, Exercise & Health Issues, Giveaways, Reviews, by Glenda Embree

Awhile back, I shared how much the Member’s Mark 4X Probiotic Digestive Care Supplement had helped my husband with his lactose intolerance and digestive problems.  Probiotics have changed the way he is able to eat and enjoy food and we feel really fortunate to have learned about them.  The supplement has recently undergone a packaging [...]

Creating a History Timeline Notebook

On April 21, 2012, in DIY Projects/Gifts, Homeschool, Reviews, by Glenda Embree

One of the challenges, with teaching children, is to find a way to help them digest, organize and retain information.  Over our two decades of homeschooling, I’ve learned that one way to be successful at that is to be sure your students experience the information in several different ways.  Allow them not just to read [...]

I’m a Slicing Sensation with My NewOXO Handheld Mandoline : Review & Give Away : PLUS Homemade Sweet Potato Chips!

On April 20, 2012, in Appetizers, Giveaways, In the Kitchen, Reviews, by Glenda Embree

I can’t believe how many times a week I reach for this handy tool and how I managed before I had it.  I’m guessing I was a lot more content with uneven slices or just skipping recipes that called for too much slicing.  I definitely didn’t make chips of any kind for our family, because [...]

I was recently invited to create an indoor picnic with TCBY Frozen Yogurt and have a fun, family afternoon.  How could I resist that opportunity?  Thursday’s are a perfect time for this kind of activity because our grandkids always get to come for a visit.  So on Wednesday, I made all my plans and ran [...]

Inspiring Easter Smiles with “Baskets” from Grandma

Those of you who have been reading this blog for awhile have probably figured out that there is a fairly large age-span between our kids.  They’re 10, 15 (almost 16), 19, 25 and 27.  Is it just me or do they never get to old for Easter baskets?  -lol-  We have added two fabulous son-in-laws [...]

Cleaning and Protecting Heirloom Furniture

On April 7, 2012, in Home and Garden, Reviews, by Glenda Embree

We all probably have a fairly similar routine when it comes to cleaning the wood furniture in our homes.  I don’t even really think about it — a little spray on the dust cloth and a few swipes across the offending surfaces and then I’m on to another chore.  But, if you think about it, [...]
