Making Changes...

Changes don't come easy, but some are being made in our lives just the same...
We are composting now.

We are raising chickens to be more organic.

I am recycling everything in sight. 

We are novice gardeners of the raised bed design. 

 We are doing container gardening within the house, as well.
We are homeschooling.

We are going camping now, by choice, not by Boy Scout design. 

And some things remain the same.

Christ comes first. 

Disabilities advocacy and special education consulting remain at the top of the vocation list. 

Snorkeling should be done as often as possible.

    We do composting also and I raised chickens for a while. I am a fan or recycling and using cloth grocery bags. I love the post. Hope you have a great week.

homemade/homeschool oil lamps

I had recently read an article about how to make a homemade oil lamp in a pinch (or catastrophe event perhaps). I have been wanting to try this with my son. Perhaps one day, hidden away from the interference from sassenach, this skill will be useful. We did follow the instructions...some things worked better in writing, than in actuality. We finally found something that worked in the end... We found a good shell to use to hold the oil. You are supposed to use one that can be supported on the base, so the oil will not run out...and is slightly fluted on one end to hold the wick. The wick was supposed to be any type of fibrous natural substance. You are supposed to be able to use any type of oil or fat. We tried first to use plant fibers and some yarn... We tried Canola Oil first, because I had some in the cabinet that I wanted to get rid of... We filled the shell with the canola oil...I did steady it using a box lid from a jewelry gift box. W
