Belle Plasticine? Do You Know What it is? I DO!!Posted on Apr. 26, 2008 at 4:46 AM - 1 Comments - Post Comment - LinkFor my family's homeschooling, we read lots and lots of books. I am finishing reading the book Mary Poppins in the Park by P.L. Travers. It is a very exciting book! There is always something exciting in every chapter, so it will really hold young children's attention. My brother LOVES being read too. He loved to hear any kind of story! One of the chapters in the book was called,"Park in the Park". That chapter was talking about Jane making little platicine people and making a tiny park within the park she was in. I couldn't figure out what plasticine was. My brother kept saying, "What is plasticne?" I didn't know......until we saw a package if it at the Cracker Barrel. It was on sale too, so Mom bought a package of it to play with and make are own little people like Jane did in the story. Here is the person I made
For those of you who don't know what Plasticine is, it is....well....it's plasticine. It is like a clay, playdough type of thing. It is really fun to play with and it never dries out! The camera is dead so I couldn't load the picture of my brothers on here. It is interesting how I discovered something, through a book, that I might have never noticed in my life. You can really learn from books! My family doen't do much of a curriculum, we just read, write, and do math. Any person would enjoy Mary Poppins in the Park by P.L. Travers. it is so exciting!! My favorite chapter was the first one in the book, "Every Goose a Swan". My little brother and I laughed and laughed and laughed at the charactors in that chapter! It was too funny! It is so neat to see how much a young child enjoys a book. Some parts of the book I thought he wasn't really listening to, but I found out later when he was telling EVERYBODY about it who would listen. He kept saying,"Oh, It is so funny. You have to read that book." It gives me such a good feeling to see how much he enjoys being read to. *~*Belle*~* My Diary of No Shampoo -- Day 6 and 7Posted on Apr. 26, 2008 at 4:43 AM - 3 Comments - Post Comment - LinkHere is day 6 and 7 of no shampoo. Day 7 was today and day 6 was yesterday. Day 6 (yesterday, Thursday April 3rd)- I didn't do anything to my hair. When I got ready for bed, I brushed to distribute the oils to the rest of my hair. I now can feel my hair getting a little oily. I haven't shampooed my hair with egg whites since Monday, I have been rinsing my hair with water when I took my showers earlier in the week. Day 7 (today, Friday April 4th)- Today my hair feels as oily as it usually does when I use store shampoo, which is a lot of oil. I shampooed it with whipped egg whites. It feels GREAT! It will be an entire week tomorrow that I have been without store shampoo! I really feel the difference in my hair! It is great! Usually, with store shampoo, my hair and the top of my hair was practically soaked with oils, it was disgusting. Shampoo would dry my scalp out so bad and then I would start to get oily just an hour or two after I shampooed my hair. Now my hair has moisture in it, egg shampoo does not dry out my hair, and my hair is way less oily. My hair is softer, healthier looking, and I now have a little bit of natural wave back to my hair like I used to have when I was little. If you have problems with store shampoos or if you are looking for a natural shampoo try this. Give it a week or two to get use to it. I think you will really like the results! ~*~Belle~*~ My Diary of No Shampoo -- Day 5 Part 2Posted on Apr. 26, 2008 at 4:42 AM - 0 Comments - Post Comment - LinkIf you all read yesterday's day of my diary of no shampoo, I said I might post a part two of day 5. Here is what I did with my hair last night. Last night (Day 5) I took a shower and only rinsed my hair and rubbed my finger through my scalp like I would when I would shampoo my hair it. I also conditioned it. When my hair dried it was really clean! I will post Day 6 of my diary later. I haven't done anything with my hair today. I will probably shampoo it tonight with egg whites. ~*~Belle~*~ My Diary of No Shampoo --- Day 4 and 5Posted on Apr. 26, 2008 at 4:40 AM - 0 Comments - Post Comment - LinkI am a little late with this post, it should have been posted yesterday. Day 4 (this was yesterday) - I didn't wash or rinse my hair today. I wanted to see how oily and smelly my hair would be. Normally, my hair stinks if I don't wash it everyday. There wasn't that much oil in my hair at all, it didn't smell either!!! That really excites me that it wasn't all that oily or smelly! Day 5 (today) - I woke up this morning thinking my hair would be really, really oily and really really stinky, but to my surprise......IT WASN'T!!!! I didn't wash it today, I will probably wash it before bedtime. The egg shampoo is really working for me! If I do wash it, I will post about tonight as My Diary of No Shampoo---Day 5 Part 2. The egg shampoo works for all different types of hair. My sister does it, her hair is sort of dry. For awhile, my sister was using store shampoo and was washing her hair everyday, during this time her hair became very, very oily. I read on the internet that shampoos from the store causes this reaction that me and my sister had because it strips out all the oil from the scalp so the body thinks to make more. Zapping so much out from the scalp makes a body work over-time, so you become so oily that you have to wash everyday. The egg shampoo cleans your hair and does not make the body react in that way. Try this shampoo, I think you will like it. I use two egg whites I whipp it with the mixer until it is really foamy. It reminds me of meringue when it is finished. I (well, actually my mom) rub it onto my scalp until all of the shampoo in the bowl is used. Then, I rinse it out when I take a shower. I still use store conditioner, I hope to find something to replace that. *It is best to rinse the egg shampoo with warm or cool water, not hot. Sometimes, when the egg shampoo is rinsed with really hot water it it will stay in the hair. I guess it kind of cooks it. Read my other days in my diary. ~Belle~ My Diary of No Shampoo - Day 3Posted on Apr. 26, 2008 at 4:35 AM - 0 Comments - Post Comment - LinkI copied and pasted this from my homemstead blog. It is my diary of no shampoo! This is the third day of my no shampoo diary. Today I shampooed my hair in whipped egg whites. My hair looks way better than it did with store shampoo and feels a whole lot better too! I have been rubbing some of the whites on my face and it clearing all of my blackheads and pimples from my face. Belle My No Shampoo Diary - Day 1 and 2Posted on Apr. 26, 2008 at 4:33 AM - 0 Comments - Post Comment - LinkI copied and pasted this from my other blog. This is my diary with no shampoo! I have quit using store shampoo, instead I wash my hair in whipped egg whites. It works great!!! This is my second day for my no poo do. I will be sharing the diary of my experience with no shampoo. First I need to tell you a little about my hair. This is how my hair is while using store shampoo.- I have long fine hair and I have alot of it. My hair, face, neck, and back are oily, very oily. The rest of my body is dry, hands, legs, arms...... I shampoo my hair almost every day. My hair is only clean for a few hours after my shower, by bedtime my hair smells...it really stinks......really oily by this time too. Day 1 (yesterday) - I shampood my hair in whipped egg whites, conditioned the ends of my hair (with store bought conditioner Day 2 (today) - When I woke up my hair felt a little oily in the back of my head, but my hair was not as oily as it usually is when I use store shampoo. Today when I took my shower I didn't shampoo my hair with anything. I just rinsed my hair and conditioned the ends of my hair. I thought my hair would be kind of oily since I just rinsed my hair instead of shampooing, but it is not at all! This is the first two days of my experiece, I will share more tomorrow. ~*~Belle~*~ Goat Accident~WARNING! GRUSOME PICTURES!Posted on Jan. 3, 2008 at 10:56 PM - 11 Comments - Post Comment - LinkOne of our does had an accident yesterday. Her horn got pulled off. She was bleeding a lot! My sister put some corn starch on it to stop the bleeding but that didn't work all that well so she put some Blood-Stop on it. She is not bleeding now. she is all better. She only had one horn because when she was a baby we de-budded her horns, burned them, but on of the horns grew. We called her uni-horn because she only had one. What I found really strange was that when her horn got pulled off she had a new horn growing underneath the old one. I have never heard of this happening with goats. Here are the pictures- they are a little bloody!
They are a little gross! I have listed many new items at my store, homesteaderbelle.blogspot.com. I have many purses for sale. Come and visit if you like! Spread the word about my store! Belle Blue Jean StockingPosted on Dec. 23, 2007 at 6:32 PM - 13 Comments - Post Comment - Link
Belle Today's HappeningsPosted on Dec. 5, 2007 at 1:26 PM - 6 Comments - Post Comment - LinkToday we got snowed some!!! Not enough to stick. Today Lillie is going to make some Chili and she is going to make the cookie dough for Paint brush Cookies! I love to paint the cookies. We paint them with egg yolks and food coloring, then we bake them. They taste very good! Making those cookies is our Christmas tradition, I guess. We do it every year. After we make some I will post picture. The goats are getting very big. They should have there babies in a month or two. I can't wait to have the goat's milk again. I do not like drinking milk from the store. I hope you all have a very good day! God Bless, My DayPosted on Nov. 30, 2007 at 4:05 PM - 10 Comments - Post Comment - LinkHello everyone, I hope everybody is having a wonderful day. I haven't done too much today. I got on here.

God Bless, Brush Pile Fence Progress and Pictures!Posted on Nov. 19, 2007 at 8:50 PM - 4 Comments - Post Comment - LinkHere on our homestead, my family and I have been working on a brush pile fence. This is what we saw before we started the brush pile fence.
We saw an empty field. This is what it looks like so far.
My family and I hope to get it five feet high and as long as our very long drive-way. This will all grow up wityh vines, briars, and hopefully some trees will grow up out of the fence. We are doing this for the wildlife, a wind break, and for more privacy, as this is our property line. We have already had some birds get in there because we put some seed in the brush.
