As I mentioned a while ago, one of our girls had two huge warts on her big toe.  Since they were making her limp, we went to visit the doctor. Now, there are several ways to get rid of warts.  We had planned to follow our doctor’s conventional medical approach, but then were forced to try [...]

April Goals for our Home and Homeschool

Everyday Milk Nog
