We have looked into it and there is indeed a 60-day for the online version, but understand the text above was confusing and have edited to clarify. Thanks Shelley.

It's really just another form of meat. It's less nasty than shellfish in my opinion. :) I would do it, esp for the chance to avoid post partum depression. It’s really just another form of meat.

Yes, having grown up on a farm, I have seen animals eat the placenta. As for me, I will take ham & mushroom pizza, or banana smoothie. I agree with Alice.

]]> Comment on How To Manage Your Time Better While Working In A Home Office by Lesley Munnings http://schmoozins.com/time-management-home-offic/896#comment-155 Lesley Munnings Sat, 16 Aug 2008 20:52:57 +0000 http://schmoozins.com/?p=896#comment-155 Hi yes I find the same. I need to be very focussed on what needs to be done and prioritise my time. We have days off which we spend with the kids and try to have a routine. It is much harder over the holidays though as work still needs to be done. i try to pick the most important jobs to be done then leave things alone to spend family time. We try to keep on top of housework and washing by doing a little each day so it does not build up and get on top of us. We find it is also important to take a break and clear our heads, and declutter. Hi yes I find the same.

]]> Comment on Kids and Chores - Do You Delegate? by Lesley Munnings http://schmoozins.com/kids-chores/457#comment-151 Lesley Munnings Thu, 14 Aug 2008 16:30:15 +0000 http://schmoozins.com/?p=457#comment-151 We have four kids who are various ages. The youngest who is also autistic loves to help out with chores. She is 8. She loves to help wash up, dust, wash the car, set the table and vacuum(she likes the deep pressure of pushing a heavy vacuum cleaner). Another of her favorite chores is helping with the shopping. The teens are not so keen though , but as parents we feel chores are about living with others in relationship and therefore need to be done without payment. Over the years we have tried chore charts and keeping a log of who does what and linking this to pocket money, however it hasn't made a great deal of difference removing this. Nowadays chores are done and receive a thanks from mum or dad and anything over and above the regular chores may receive a reward. We try to work together when doing chores so we set the example and the standard. We put music on and chat while doing chores. We try to be aware when the kids are studying more and therefore need a bit of respite from chores as well. Communicating our thoughts and feelings with the kids helps greatly as well as the kids get older. our kids seem to go the extra mile when they know we are tired.
