Debbera At 1yo, children are learning to feed themselves. So you could try easy to eat things like cheerios, sliced bananas, scrambled and cooked eggs, small pancakes. All of these are easy for young children to feed themselves and they're healthy too. When my...

anyone know how long regular lentils normally take to cook? I have found a recipe I want to use but it just says cook until soft (same goes for the package of lentils). Trying to figure out if this is something I can start when I...

Debbera You're right.. some things NEED to be soaked over night. However, lentils, split peas.. things of this nature do not need to be soaked over night. If you do soak them over night, they're going to turn to mush. The method you mention should be used for kidney...

Debbera Lentils cook fairly quickly. You should rinse them under cold, running water. Pick out any of the icky looking ones. Then put the lentils in a pot, pour in about 5-6 cups of water. Bring it to a boil, over medium high heat, then reduce the heat to medium low...

Debbera If your husband is anything like mine.. and it seems as though they're near twins, from your description.. there's only one excuse. They were born with the dehabilitating disease known as "Idontwannaitis". It's not that they CAN'T, it's not that they don't...

Debbera Sometimes, during the "dating process", people are not themselves. They're nicer, they're more polite, they're more thoughtful.. you get the idea. However, if you're in the "dating process" long enough, you'll see their "true colors". I'm thinking that your...

Those warm summer days are just around the corner, so I thought I'd share a summer time treat that my children (and the neighbor children!) love. I take a peeled banana, put a popsicle stick in one end. Then I smear on berry...

Debbera I have a 9yo son who wants to be a chef when he gets older. So, he's often in the kitchen with me. He makes lunch on a daily basis, because he wants to. Sometimes, it's something simple like grilled cheese and soup. Other times, he gets creative.. he made a...

Debbera I think it's fantastic that you have such a gifted child! You must be very proud. I have three children (9yo, 4yo and 2yo). I homeschool them because I could not find a suitable school (public or private) to suit their individual needs. When looking for a...

Debbera I have three children. 9, 4 and 2. I bought a wrist leash for my oldest son when we were going to take our first flight. I couldn't imagine carrying him (he was 2yo) on my hip and our luggage.. and I knew I couldn't push a stroller and carry luggage. So I...

Debbera Be it a sister, a brother, an aunt, an uncle, a neighbor, whatever.. Yes, if I saw signs of abuse/neglect, I'd call CPS. You can call annonymously. You don't have to give your name or your relationship to the person you're calling about. Perhaps she just...

Debbera For my husband and I, it's the little things that matter. Jewelry is nice, but I'd prefer a hug and a kiss and a heartfelt "I love you." Going out to a romantic dinner is nice, but having him help me in the kitchen is better. We talk about everything, it...

Debbera Lower carb intake. It's the best way I know of to lose weight. Two months ago, my husband came home and told me he wanted to lose weight. He's 6'4" and was nearly 320lbs. He wasn't fat, he was just getting pudgy. So.. I stopped making the mashed potatoes and...

Debbera Weight gain and pregnancy comes hand in hand. It's super easy to put on the weight and not so easy to get it off. However, you don't have to put on a bunch of weight just because you get pregnant. If you take prenatal vitamins and eat two extra servings of...
