Serina,
I just found your blog through a search engine for cloth diapering information. I see your categories of crafting, diapering, birth stories, farming and family integrated worship. It seems like we’d be great friends.

I am 31 and have 5dc that I homeschool. You can see my blog at http://www.blesseddesigns.net/store Though I wish I ha more time to post on it.

warm regards,
Angela

Hi there. I love your blog and your crafty stuff. Thanks for all the links and info, it is so nice to find other moms who love Jesus and making things with their hands! Where do you live? Am I lame for not catching that in all your writing? I am in San Diego, CA. I am super jealous of your studio and dream of a day when I can have my own space to work in. But with three kids under 5, that is still a ways off I think, so for now I work in the kitchen where I can keep an eye on the kids. Thanks for posting your thoughts, crafts, and pics.

Serena, I just read about your no-pooing and I wanted to tell you I’ve been doing this about a year now and I found an excellent EASY method. I keep a couple of empty bottles in the shower along witha teaspoon, my apple cider vinegar and a jar of baking soda. Put one teaspoon of baking soda in a flexible bowl or cup, fill with water and stir. It should dissolve right away. Then I pour this into a bottle, simply because it makes the solution easier ot manage and to get where I want it. I pour this over my wet hair and work it into the scalp. I let it sit on my hair while I wash the rest of me, then rinse. Then I do the same with the vinegar. One teaspoon to one cup water. Pour off into a bottle (I use a different bottle, but you don’t have to), then pour over the hair. This takes the tangles out and equalizes the pH of the hair. Then rinse. My hair is clean, shiny, and very happy with this method. NOTE: For longer hair, you may have to use two teaspoons to two cups of water, but the key is the formula. You can double or triple it if you need to. My boyfriend’s hair is down to his waist and he uses two cups. Using the empty shampoo bottle makes it easy to get the solution all over the scalp. Anyway, thought I’d share. I love your website! Thanks for all your great ideas!

Hi, Emily – Welcome to my blog. =) You’re not lame; I don’t post where I live, intentionally. I live in a moderately sized metropolis near the midwest. And I don’t actually have a studio of my own, yet – I also sew on the kitchen table and other various odd places. I know what it’s like!

Rowan – Welcome, as well! Thanks for the great tips!

Serina,

I followed your link from the Garden site (Laundry room). I’m the gal who recommended the toploader Maytag washer. Just wanted you to know I’m a mom who loves the Lord and has been homeschooling for more than 20 years – six kiddos of all ages, two now married. I’m not a ‘crafty’ person; the only ‘arts’ thing I do is play the piano, which I love.

God bless you!

serina- i’ve been following your blog since the fall, when i found it through a cloth diapering link, or something like that. i enjoy reading your blog, when you have time to post, and it sounds like we have alot in common. i have 6 children, and homeschool. the oldest is going to college, and the youngest is 9 months. congrats on moving to the country! we just moved a few months ago also, and i’ve been enjoying the country life. i wanted to tell you about chickens, and a chicken tractor. i’m guessing that you’ll want to raise your own. i did 2 informal posts about that on my blog: “all things chicken”, and “we’re still outnumbered” our chicken tractor was easy and inexpensive (if your husband is handy that way) and you could get started fairly easily, if you wanted.
also, your house isn’t that ugly! you could paint it red, add shutters, and maybe stone the brick pillars?
anyway- i hope you and the kids all enjoy the country!

Hi Serina,

I just read your notice regarding slow cookers and lead and was wondering if you did any more research. I have a Kitchen Aid slow cooker that I use weekly and am mortified by the idea that my home cooked, organic meals could be poisening my family. Please let me know if you have any information and if one can simply use a lead test kit to test their own appliance.

Thanks so much!

Hi Serina,

Are you the person who sells snap press kits for making diapers on Amitymama? I did a search and your site came up.

Thanks,

Sara

Hi Serina

I am a follower of Jesus too, in Hilton, South Africa. I found your site through someone on the Yahoo wool soaker group (can’t remember who though-maybe Tricia…unless you belong to it too?).

Last week your Links page had a ton of interesting places to search through, and now I can’t find them. Am I missing them? Where did they go? What is confusing me is that on my Blackberry they’re all there. TBH I wouldn’t even bother you with this, but I have sent a link to your site to my cousin’s wife who is starting to CD, and she will be even more confused than I am

TIA
Jill
