"We brought our son home in the middle of 9th grade--he was 14. Never too late! We have seen a lot of positive changes in him, although I will admit at times it is a struggle. But nothing like the struggles we had when he was in school. I keep…"

"Hi Susan,
I will be homeschooling my rising 6th and 5th graders for the first time next school year. I just wanted to tell you that and let you know that you are not alone. Middle school is tough and my 11 year old is not ready for it. Why should…"

"We live in a neighborhood and had 6 hives in our back yard. You can have honeybees on an apartment balcony. Our neighbors loved our honey. We had the neighborhood kids over to help "inspect" the bees. They are really not a problem and…"
Brenda Corrigan replied to Susan Jones's discussion beekeeping in the group Homesteading / Survival Issues
"Try mason bees if you are not looking at keeping a hive. Since they are not hive bees, they do not swarm, and seem to be relatively easy to keep. They are individual home dwellers with each living in a small hole. Unfortunately, they do not produce…"

"This is our first year of homeschooling and I have a 12 year old boy (also a 9 year old boy, 5 year old boy and 4 year old girl). He was not excited about homeschooling. However, once we started, he has really enjoyed himself. He enjoys being at…"
