Good schools will do all that you mention! You don't have to homeschool to get this type of learning. And even if your school doesn't do things like this, you certainly can supplement their education! You should know what they are currently learning about in school, so when you know they are...

Unless Sears has lost his marbles over the last few years, I think these people are taking his ideas to a crazy extreme that he never intended in the least! I used his philosophies when my kids were babies (exclusive breastfeeding, self-wean, use of slings, etc.,) so did read quite a bit about...

I eat a lot of beans for protein, as well as nuts. And if you are keeping eggs and fish, you really shouldn't have a hard time finding protein sources. I've been reading that the whole "food combining" for vegetarians to get a complete protein at each meal is unnecessary - as long as you eat a...

In addition to the things you have listed, once a week my kids help with cleaning - they dust, sweep (swiffer), vacuum (the 10 year old does this one), and pick up the living room. They are supposed to pick-up the living/dining/kitchen areas of their "stuff" every day, but inevitably things...

The HR monitor will also be another estimate - there is no terribly accurate way to determine calories burned, but these sorts of tools will provide you with very rough estimates at least.

I'd also suggest Insanity - it'll be a nice change in approach from STS, but will be super intense so you'll feel like you aren't taking a step backward in your training.

Oh, man, seeing this poor guy's history is just heartbreaking!!!!!! You are rock stars for rescuing him, really, you are. I was thinking of you all weekend hoping that things were going well. I'm continuing to send "good boy vibes" your way and I hope that finding a puppy class will really...

Oh, this is such great news! I am not a big fan of cooking so I need easy for everyday kinds of things, and if the rest of the family can come on board, all the better! And now I'm singing Huey Lewis too....... :)

Yes, this. As I read your schedule, I immediately thought that your work should consume literally 100% of the time that your son is in school. That means, you set your alarm for 5:00am to get your workout in, and you can do all the other "house" stuff, that NEEDS to be done (you don't need to...

Go for it!!!!!! If you are projecting a 2:15-2:30 finish time, you will NOT be last, I will guarantee it. Far from it. As far as the training plans, I would stick to something close to the beginner plan. While you might feel great so far, it takes a long time for your tendons and ligaments...

Ummmmmmm, yes I do have kids. Two in fact. And since as I mentioned, we have a puppy, we've *all* been bitten and scratched plenty. PLENTY. And yes, sometimes on the face. I really don't understand why you are so ticked off - all I've been trying to say is that this is *normal* puppy behavior...

Well, I feel stupid! I've seen the Engine 2 book at Whole Foods for a while now, but never looked at it because I didn't realize it was vegan!!!!! I've moved toward a vegan diet over the course of the last many months, and am always on the lookout for good recipe books. I'll finally have to pick...

2-3 months and you are fed up? Seriously??? I understand that you are frustrated, but I also understand what you are going through. I have a 9 month old puppy in my house RIGHT NOW, and we've had him since he was 2 months old - so I know what I'm talking about here, as I'm living it every day. I...

He's a puppy, this is totally normal behavior - they bite. This is what you signed up for when you got a puppy, so threats of "taking him back" are totally out of line, in my opinion. That said, of course, you train them that biting is NOT tolerated. Everyone has given great suggestions -...

It's $38.xx per quarter (which is how they bill it).

Thanks Kathryn!!!! Yes, the gel is pretty cool - I'm glad to hear I'm good to go as is. And glad that I didn't try to grind them and recreate your goo experiment. :) LOL!!!

...... and add some coconut shreds - perfection!!!! :) Slightly off topic: Kathryn re: chia seeds. Is there any benefit to grinding them into meal/powder like you would flax seeds? Or are we capable of digesting all the chia goodness from the seeds themselves? I've been using them in my...

Maybe. Maybe not. That's a stretch based on this single post about the family.

My son really loves his Legos - both the sets (with instructions), and just the blocks. He'll often disassemble a set he's had put together for a while and come up with new ideas - new ships, buildings, etc. It's VERY VERY creative. And for little kids, it's really great for fine motor skill...

My son would wet himself with excitement if he got that - he's been asking for it for years now (he's 10). I was seriously contemplating getting it for Xmas as his big gift, but just couldn't do it. It depends on the kid though - if I felt flush, I really would get it for my son. He would...
