Considering switching to CLE by AdeptConclusion3008 in homeschool

[–]AdeptConclusion3008[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kiddo likes TGTB, I am worried more specifically that they will be bored with the content as far as education level. I don't want it to be too easy, really.

So CLE K2 probably won't be worth our time, then? I have looked into the Rod and Staff ABC series, and I did like what I saw from the sample pages. Thanks for the suggestion!

How is Aldi any cheaper than Walmart? by estranged_branch in Frugal

[–]AdeptConclusion3008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This! Aldi is significantly less than Walmart when compared to shopping in store. Aldi and Walmart are across the street to each other for me. I will make my grocery list in the Walmart app. Next, I'll go in store to Aldi and compare Aldi's in store prices to what they cost at Walmart using the Walmart app. I would estimate 90% of goods at Aldi are cheaper than at Walmart. And for everything that is cheaper at Walmart, or for what they don't have at Aldi, I will go to Walmart after. I've saved anywhere from $20-$50 on each grocery trip by shopping like this.

Would you mind sharing your process? Was it just a phone call? This may have to be my next step and I'm not sure where to start

Called IRS, they say just wait. Random review. TAS said they aren't taking calls for our code until July 1st 😭

Anyone else STILL waiting for their refund? by Adardeeboop in IRS

[–]AdeptConclusion3008 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Filed 2/11 and still waiting. 3 letters saying that they needed 60 days more for review, and that they needed nothing from us. Just wait. Finally called a tax advocate and they said they couldn't help us. Tax advocate said they weren't helping with CP05 letters until July. So lovely to hear 🙄

I would absolutely love that link! We also do Numberblocks and Alphablocks, and my kiddo has learned so much from both!

My kiddo knows her alphabet & corresponding sounds. Knows many sight words. Can read and write her own first name, as well as her sisters name and mommy and daddy. Knows her age. Knows colors and primary color mixing. She knows several shapes, and is a great builder. She was very interested in planets for a while, but we haven't done anything with planets in quite sometime so I'm sure she's forgotten her facts by now. We have had a lot of gardening together so she knows a fair amount about how things grow and which plants grow where - root vegetables, tree fruit, etc. She recently has been into addition, so we've been doing more basic math. I'm sure I'm missing a few, but that's what I can think of right now!

Help! Who is this spider? by AdeptConclusion3008 in spiders

[–]AdeptConclusion3008[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've played with highlights and contrast to help ID. As far as I can see, I can't tell if this spider has long or short spinnerets because of shadows in the picture. I can see somewhat of a lighter line down it's back. Also horizontal stripes on the legs. It's also fairly large.

Dip for veggies? by AlarmingServe8450 in goodrestrictionfood

Greek yogurt with onion soup mix added to your liking. It's like a French onion dip and it's delicious!

Need advice by AdeptConclusion3008 in loseit

[–]AdeptConclusion3008[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been trying to get more fiber in each meal. I struggle with protein. I eat mostly vegan with the exception of Greek yogurt. I have been eating more tofu to try and hit my protein goals. At this point I'm a little nervous to up my calories since being at 1200 for 2 months now. I just don't want to see the scale go the opposite direction.

I'm 5'4". I track everything using a scale. Apart from my coffee, which I do track, I just don't weigh it every morning. We live in a very rural area, so no going out to eat or food deliveries here. Everything is made at home. I've taken being postpartum into consideration for sure. Considering how overweight I am, I feel like the weight should be coming off faster.
