I love homeschooling. I love that if the Lord leads we can read an extra chapter of the Bible or another lesson in our study. I love that at the beginning of the day the kids all sit down together, thank the Lord for our meal and eat a healthy breakfast after getting their chores done, there's no rushing or looking at clocks to make sure we are ready for school. I love that when a child realizes he is sick in the middle of the day and wants his mom I'm right there and can put him under a blanket in the living room.... instead of him lying in a school nurses office waiting for me to come get him. I love that if you come to my house in the morning you will find the babies playing and arguing over trucks on the floor, my oldest boy snuggling with me on the couch, doing his reading out loud while I crochet, and the two "best sisters" sitting at the dining room table doing their school together, the table covered in paper, glue and folders to do yet another lapbook. I love that if you come in the afternoon you will find us doing sign language, history on netflix, on a nature walk(or right now, a walk to see them build houses!) down our road, or, if the weather is warm and dry, in the backyard gardening, playing baseball, running around playing house, or reading. I love that no matter what time of day it is we are always together.

Never Buy It Again- sour milk
Never Buy It Again- sour milk
I use this recipe for everything. I also use it as a substitute for things like buttermilk and, depending on the recipe, sour cream. You could also substitute yogurt for sour cream in some recipes, greek works good for this purpose.
This will be a short post, haha. I will add pictures as I get them.
Ingredients:
any kind of milk
lemon juice or vinegar(I'm sure other people have some other things they use, these are my main 2 cuz I always have them on hand)
Method:
Your recipe will tell you how much sour milk, buttermilk, or sour cream you need for their recipe. So to substitute those you take the measuring cup you need(so if they want 1 cup of sour milk, etc, you get the 1 cup out), fill it 3/4 of the way with any kind of milk. Grab your "sour-er": your vinegar or lemon juice, and fill the rest of the measuring cup up with that. So if the recipe calls for 1 cup of sour milk, etc, I would use 3/4 cup milk and 1/4 cup vinegar or lemon juice.
Simple! Leave them to curdle for about 5 minutes or so. If I'm doing this to substitute sour cream Ill do 1/2 milk, 1/2 vinegar or lemon juice. This usually makes it thicker. I can only do this with certain recipes. Don't try this on your tacos :-).
And there it is!!! I will post pictures when I get to it!!!
