 Did you know that it is possible to cure tooth decay? Teeth can actually remineralize! I know you are probably skeptical, but after the slowing of my osteoporosis after being on the GAPS diet, I am convinced that it is possible! I had read about tooth remineralization before and now I am reading "Cure Tooth Decay" by Ramiel Nagel. Mr. ...  Beware all you drivers out there, we have a new automobile operator in our family! Our 16 year old daughter passed her driving test and is licensed to drive alone. While she is very responsible, the mother in me is anxious - will she be careful, will she get lost, will she wreck? Knowing her: The careful part is ...  I received an email this past week containing an article written by Regina Brett, 90 years old, of the Plain Dealer, Cleveland, Ohio. Although I would probably put the list in a different order I thought it contained some very good points. I decided before posting it, however, to research Regina Brett and validate the article. I ...  Cheepo is the name or our parakeet. That is ChEEpo - not to be confused with ChEApo! He was a Christmas present from our oldest daughter and her husband to the four youngest boys. Why would someone call their bird Cheepo? Because he cheeped. Very softly in the beginning. But now, he lets loose and rivals the children ...  Let's play a game! I will show you a two pictures, see if you can tell what is missing in the second. The two pictures are identical except for one detail - how attentive are you? Here goes - Picture #1 Now - Picture #2 OK - the test - What is missing? If you said the stainless steel bowl on the ... As a home educating mother, I know how difficult it can be to teach children (especially boys!) to read and, even more so, to spell. With all the rules and exceptions to the rules, it is a wonder anyone ever gets it! I guess, like all homeschooling moms, I have my favorite curriculums and tend to be stuck ...  Our 3 year old is now officially potty trained! This would be a milestone for anyone, but for us, it is the end of an era. An era spanning 26 1/2 years. Our oldest son was born ten days before our first anniversary. Little did we know that our first year would be one of the few ... Because of more problems with our internet, I was unable to post the introduction to Bob and Monty when I originally wrote them last week. I debated as to whether or not to post them as written. If you read them, you will remember that several of the pictures included Squiggles, our red and white ...  Going about daily activities, I was walking through the living room and this caught my eye: our 5 year old son "reading" a book to our 2 year old daughter. It is moments like this that give such joy and encouragement to a mom!  Our oldest daughter is engaged! We knew it was coming and were not surprised but are certainly pleased. I feel like the Lord has answered our prayers in sending her a godly young man. The official proposal (with ring) was October 4th. Since our son-in-law-to-be had never seen Father of the Bride with Steve Martin, we ... |
     
 
God has amazingly blessed me, Dina-Marie, with a wonderful husband and 10 beautiful children. Moving from our "secure" life in Alabama to the "exciting" life of starting a vineyard in west Texas has definitely been challenging. Besides frugality, farm life and simple living, I have learned the importance of diet, quality of food and traditional cooking. Through the GAPS diet, I am successfully reversing my rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis and food allergies. I hope to encourage you to make the most of where you are and what you have as I share my life with you.
