OK that is the range of emotion(cons) I just went through. For one, I have not received a notification of new posts since like page 2.
And MOVED?!?!?!?!
For crying the f$#% out loud. ChristaN, ITA.
The whole purpose of this thread and the May one was because there is serious vegetarianism-ism on MDC.

We were supposed to be moving saturday to but the place wasn't ready. Seriously- not even close. I thought if we moved in with all the damage not repaired they would drag their feet on fixing it. As long as they don't have our signature or money yet they'd make sure to get it done.
next weekend I guess. A shame to, I was all hyped up for it.

So- all this talk about shoes is just leading me to this confession. My MIL bought new daisy-Roots for the girls. I told her that Eliana's had a hole in them, honestly I thought it was funny that a baby was able to walk a hole into them. I didn't care about the hole. I said I was so bummed because "What were the odds I'd find another pair like them used" since I love the particular style she was wearing. I bought a pair of platypaw sandals used and guess what I got in the mail?? 2 brand spankin new pair of Daisy Roots- one for each DD in the pattern I love so much. Now I feel guilty. They are still in the package. I can't decide what to do with them. I guess they are here now, eh?

I ordered a doll house that talked on the website about how it is environmentally friendly and uses trees from renewable forests and it just sounded ideal for a wooden dollhouse. So it comes a week later in 2nd huge box stuffed with styrofoam

I don't know about fairy food- but all I can think of is fresh fruits mixed together- blue berries to since they are in season.

WB keysmama Did you catch the post where I said I was going crazy smashing every nut I can find into recipes since you gave me that idea with the cashew pesto? LOL

Hey Keysmama! Glad you found us, it took me a while, too

who ever posted the smoothie ideas, bless you I've only made em with fruit & soy milk. When I told DS we were going to make a choc. smoothie for desert, he made up a dance in the kitchen that he called the chocolate smoothie dance :LOL We used frozen bananas, soy milk, homemade choc. syrup and almond butter. . seriously We put the extra into popsicle molds. DS went to bed tonite talking about how he was going to check to see if it was frozen right when he wakes up tomorrow

wanna hear what a lazy vegetarian I am? we had grits for dinner : haha

Rainbow - That was very thoughtful of your MIL!!! However, here's what I did when my mother bought me something made of leather. I told her that while I really liked the gift and appreciated it, I didn't feel that I could use it because it was made of leather. She hadn't actually realized that it was leather (although I'm sure your MIL knows the shoes are) and she felt embarassed. I mailed it back to her and she returned it and got me something else.

Would that work with your MIL?? Maybe let her buy something else new for DDs and find the used shoes yourself? Just make sure to let her know how kind it was of her and how much you appreciate her buying them.

I'm certain she knew- kind of like "oh she can't buy them so I will" I don't think ti was mean spirited at all- but I do think she realized. I'm not sure how to approach it. I don't want to be rude or unthankful- but I feel really badly supporting new leather.

blah. it's late, I'll check back in the AM

well I for one applaud you! Grits! Soul food inspiried by native american traditions. loaded with iron and comfort food. You can't get any better than that! ( unless you mix in scrambled egg, cheese and bacon bit! : ) WHICH btw, I make with veggie bacon crumbled into the grits and it is damn good!

Grits is a hot corn cereal you make just like cream of rice or cream of wheat.

Your welcome dready !! Please share how you make homemade choc syrup please .

Annie7~Yeah I was kinda bummed too. I went on FYT and saw that the Pagan thread was not moved to Spirituality. It is frustrating.

Rainbow~Where did you get the dollhouse from?

Okay, what are the toiletry products that you use? Do you make your own? If so, how? Also, what cleaning products do you use?

I use Philosophy skincare stuff. I was bummed to find that they were not on the PETA list My skin is soo sensitive, though, that I am afraid to use something else.

One more...we are phasing out plastic....what are your fave wooden toy stores?

When my oldest dd was little I loved to go to craft fairs and buy handmade wooden toys directly from the craftsman. By now between my sister's family and mine, we seem to have everything and just pass things back and forth depending on who has babies or toddlers. It's hard to find wooden toys at second hand stores because everyone who has them tends to pass them around family and friends or keep them.

Hello I was wondering why this thread wasn't on the first page of the tribal areas anymore! Well, I found it again

When we lived back east I used to love going to West VA to the Appalachian mall to buy wood toys. Now I order from Nova www.novanaturals.com Their are a teeny bit cheaper than Ecobaby, Rosie's, Magic Cabin, etc. Also we are trying to get ionto making them ourselves more. DH made the boys a play kitchen for Christmas, and ,ade DS1 swords for his b-day. I made them tree blocks.

I think I can post the choc. syrup recipe up here? yes? It's not copyrighted by anyone to my knowledge.

Chocolate Syrup:
1/2 cup cocoa
1 cup water
2 cups sugar
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 tsp vanilla

Mix the cocoa and water in a saucepan. Heat and stir to dissolve. Boil 3 min. Add salt and the vanilla. Pour into sterilized pint jar, and store covered in refrigerator. Keeps for several months. So much cheaper than buying the store stuff and you can make it OG (and it's still cheaper than Hershey's schwag)! yay!
