    Excellent class. Great turn out. We learned different ways to start a fire, get water, make rope utilize desert plants to eat, make soap, different brushes, shoes, etc. We will definitely have a follow up class.

    It was a small quaint festival with bands and speakers. The scent of Lavendar was intoxicating. We picked up a few varieties for drying and cooking. We loved the Lavendar Berry Lemonade. The Lavendar pound cake was good too. At the end of the day we were so relaxed by all the Lavendar products such as soaps, lotions, balms and there was even some Lavendar products for dogs, we were all ready for an afternoon nap.

    I got to hear two speakers lecture and then met a few speakers later on in an informal setting. Dr. Mercola was very interesting I learned a lot in regards to disregarding the Glycemic Index and that Fructose is bad for you, but Glucose is good. I tried Coconut sugar and flour. It was wonderful. The flour is also gluten free and the sugar was higher in glucose with very little fructose. We're also being over prescribed by doctors and we really need to take control and responsibility over our own health. I met a man who was the President of an organization that uses fermented soy to cure people from cancer by getting to the source of cell stems. These conferences are little mini seminars that leave you with something to think about and research on your own.

    I didn't get a chance to listen to all the speakers as I was helping out outside, but the comraderie with like minded people was wonderful. Ramiel Nagel spoke on Curing Tooth Decay through the foods that you eat so you can stay out of the dentist's chair http://www.curetoothdecay.com/ and of course Sally Fallon Morell, President of the Weston A. Price Foundation. Vegans would not agree with her views on animal fats in our diet, but we are here to be educated and I believe that we make our decisions based on common sense, facts and our values.

    Incredible fleece blankets. I will be putting instructions on this website with pictures of the finished product. The youngest to do this was 9 years old w/supervision as we use scissors and an awl that needs to be poked through the fabric. There's a needle for tying too, but that is it! Very simple. We were able to finish a blanket within 2 hours. (approx. 60 inches x 40 inches). With larger pieces of fabric you can make a bedspread, but that will require more tying.

    Great to see so many new mothers there with their babies. Mark McAfee and his wife were wonderful. I learned so much about Raw Milk and all the incredible health benefits. I never really drank milk growing up, but loved the raw milk. I was also told since I was half asian that I was lactose intolerant. Didn't get any of that with raw milk. Adriana and her husband, Scott did a great job!

    Made both liquid and dry laundry soap, dishwashing soap, all purpose cleaner with Thyme and Lavender soft scrub. Hint: Downy Ultra Balls are at Food 4 Less for $1.40 - add vinegar and throw it in your laundry to keep your washing machine from scumming up, clothes will come out brighter and with less static electricity. Also, add a few drops of essential oils such as Lavender, Eucalyptus and/or Juniper to kill mites then throw some dried herbs in a cotton bag into the dryer for a fresh herbal scent. This was the first step in replacing some commercial products with cheaper, healthier homemade ones -- Hope you can make it next time!
