Web Finds for Homeschools and Parents : March 2, 2018

These are tidbits of interest that I have discovered over the past week or two. 


FDA steps up their push against homeopathic care.   Anyone who knows me knows that my family uses many homeopathic cures.  Many of us (and I'm talking extended family!) do not react as predicted by drugs prescribed.   Many of us have children's liquids in our cabinets so that we can take a tiny dose when needed instead of the full adult doses.  In my case, I was given a 1/4 dose of morphine in the hospital - and it dropped my blood pressure to 40/20 ish.   The nurse thankfully listened to us, and gave a tiny dose.

Story has ADHD ... complicated by a milk allergy/ sensitivity.   She gets relief from the agitation with vetiver and lavender and other essential oils.

How about just growing your own cures?  A lot of people keep an aloe vera plant growing, what are others?

Due to our housing situation and other problems.  We are trying to move to a better house.  Did you know that there are places in America that still pay people to move - or give them land?

My daughter, Sunshine, had to learn about a missionary in Sparkies.  She picked out Eric Liddell.   So we enjoyed learning more about him.

We all have to learn to live with regret - no matter who you are - but I kind of feel for the young authors who "start a movement" only to look back with adult eyes and years of experience and wish that is was not their name at the front ... not that the movement or ideas were wrong ... but more they feel that they were ill prepared for the backlash that was sure to follow.  People have a nasty habit of following advise because it makes them feel that they are on the right path, only to pile the blame on those who made those suggestions.

And following on that thought ... look what Story is heading up these days?  Got a young author?   Trying to publish your own work?   She is working a group project.  How would you write Rapunzel?
