Making baby food tips. Yep, you can freeze in ice cube trays. The trick is to move them from the tray to a freezer bag when frozen solid. Small batches do work best. Use good food safety tips and you should be fine. Another idea to avoid the freeze thing is to puree what your making for dinner...

My husband and I had a baby right our of college. Because I wanted to stay home our budget was tight to say the least. We did fine and our baby was well cared for. It can be done. My first tip would be to breast feed. Formula is expensive and breast feeding is "cheap". I would highly recomend...

My husband has taught our donkeys several tricks. We also have horses. My husband feels the donkeys learn much quicker than horses. He does feel that they need to "understand" what the trick will "do" for them. He never treats with food but attention. Scratches and happy dance "woo hooing". They...

I'm sorry I didn't respond sooner. I haven't been on email due to the holiday. Our stall doors can't be burrowed under. We created this situation by adding a removal board to the bottom of stall doors. I like the peace of mind that when I hear coyotes at night I know they can't get in the barn...

Hi ! , Everyone is very nice here and my experience is that you can ask anything. We have two horses and two mini donkeys. One of our donkeys is very brave and has charged after coyotes with my husband in hot chase. Saying that, I would be deathly afraid if my donkeys got cornered, were alone...

I like Michelle and Barack Obama very much. Both are showing strong family values in raising their children and I think this is a great role model. I love the fact that a "family" garden is being made at the white house for neighborhood school children to attend for the white house and homeless...

We try to have a big garden. Some years we do better than others. I would suggest starting your plants early so they have a good head start before you plant them in your garden. Feeding plants does help them grow, but take it easy. Too much feeding incourages huge leaf growth and limited...

I'm so very sorry about your loss. You must hurt so very much. Losing someone you love is just the hardest thing. Your in my thoughts. chico

What cute pictures! I loved them! Thank you for sharing. chico

I hope I didn't sound negative. I feel very happy and hopeful. teresa

Yes, I watched Mr. Obama with great pride. I have huge hope in this mans intregiuty and ability. He will make mistakes, he's human. But he will do so giving his best effort. This I'm sure about. I supported him in the election with time and donations and I will support him now that he's...

My boys like their ears rubbed and kissed too. chico

I told you everyone is very nice and helpful here! I hope you feel better and are ready to get started with your new little guy. My husband wanted me to let you know that horses and donkeys(mules) are very different but the idea of starting slow and taking one step at a time is the same. He did...

My husband suggests many of Clinton Andersons techniques. We had a mare with a few difficult issues and he found his technique helpful. We found several of his c.d.'s at the library. Very expensive if you buy outright. Horse techniques, but we have used the ideas with our donks. Donks are quick...

Yes, I wouldn't say haunted but occupied. My husband and my first house gave off feelings. First, I need to say neither my husband or I talked about this until we were moving into our 2nd house. My husband said he was afraid of scareing me and I was afraid he'd think I was nuts. We also had...
