Blessings,DeAnna & Leslie Follow us on Instagram @deannakane16 @les_callaway It has been some of the craziest weather I have seen here in Southern California. In the last four months, we’ve had more rain than I’ve seen in the 22 years I’ve lived here. I, for one, actually love it. Leslie, not so much. When she moved here almost four years ago, she looked forward to all sunshine and heat. Since it’s been so cold, we haven’t had many beach days. Conversely, this rain has been a great time to learn new tips. For one, I’ve been researching…

I first started canning with my Norwegian grandmother. I have fond memories of picking fruit in our orchard - cherries, apples, pears, and plums and then working with her in the old-fashioned kitchen, making delicious jams. We would “put them up” (in other words, ‘can them’) so there would be plenty to last throughout the year. We would store them in her canning cellar. When our family moved into an old Amish farmhouse on some acreage, those canning skills my grandmother taught me came in handy. I was also thankful that my best friend Kate, an expert canner, was only a phone call away. She taught me so much over the years. Living in the country, you learn to can and preserve as much as possible. It may sound challenging,…

Like so many others, you may have been tossing around the idea of homeschooling but are overwhelmed with questions, wondering, “Where do I even begin?” “I am not a teacher. How do I do this?” An excellent place to start is to begin thinking about your homeschooling style. Various schooling styles are being used, and one may suit you and your family better than another. You must consider your family’s lifestyle, what type of learners your children are, your homeschooling budget, and what teaching style inspires you.

Do you know what a Rain Chain is? They have been used for centuries and are a beautiful alternative to a traditional downspout. The Rain Chain originated in Japan and is still used in many places to collect rainwater. By attaching the chain to your gutter and allowing it to hang over a barrel or basin, rainwater will flow down the chain collecting water. While making the most beautiful sound. My family had a Rain Chain similar to the one in the picture; the sound was always a comfort. It was functional and looked lovely on the house or in the garden. Now is the time to get those collection barrels and stock up! Rain season is upon us, and collecting that rainwater is ideal for growing your garden foods…

You can store eggs for up to two years in a lime-water mixture. Take fresh eggs right off the farm, UNWASHED, and place them aside. When chickens lay eggs, they secrete a coating over the eggs for an extra layer of protection. You want to ensure that coating isn’t washed off, so store-bought eggs cannot be stored this way because that protective coating is removed. Sprinkle a couple of tablespoons of slaked lime in the bottom of a sterilized glass jar (ask for hydrated lime - a white powder), then place your eggs in the jar. Then, mix about 3 tablespoons of the hydrated lime for every 1 quart of water. Fill the jar to the top so all your eggs are covered. Put the lid on and place it…

Are you a single parent with children at home? Nearly 25% of American children are raised in single-parent homes. This is life in America, and as an attorney, I found myself constantly working with single parents in counseling and courthouses, trying to find places where parents could work together. What do you do when your relationship goes from the song “Everlasting Love” to “Since U Been Gone?” For many, the song should be “Stuck [To] You” because the break-up cannot be a “clean break-up”—a child was born, and an everlasting bond was formed that day that will outlive break-up court proceedings and will continue past the child’s (or children) 18 and 21 birthdays. You and the co-parent have a lifetime bond. Throughout your life, there will be birthdays, anniversaries, holidays,…
