I planned for this to be about homemaking and homeschooling, but now it's just a chaotic jumble of news and ideas about animals, kids, food, and other random thoughts.

What Works, What Doesn't Work, and an Idea Whose Time Has Come

What works:
-Sugar-free peach pie (sweetened with Sucanat), with homemade (no sugar) whipped cream
-Sugar-free raisin coffee cake (Sucanat also in the topping)

What doesn't work:
-Tadpoles in the fish aquarium (they don't die, but they don't grow either - you must need some kind of special tadpole algae or plankton or something that exists naturally in ponds)
-Lettuce and spinach in a long rectangular Rubbermaid container (same as the tadpoles - the plants live, but they don't grow beyond about 1 inch. Maybe the soil was bad? I don't know.)

An idea whose time has come:
100% Juice, carbonated
The Switch
I haven't tried this yet, but it looks like a good idea. :-)

Maybe it was your tadpoles!!! We had 8 or so in a little fish bowl and the one that was more advanced in growth stages was found on the kitchen floor one Sun morn before church. Legs and feet and all, still alive..

Maybe it was. I don't know. I think we had about 6 or 8 in ours also, and none of them are growing. They've been in there now for over a month, I think, and several are still alive, but the same size as when we put them in! ????
