Hey Ladies, What is on your holiday wishlist this year? I actually wanted a cool Big Green Egg Smoker and got it already. I also would love a new Ipad since my kids have taken over the one I had. What are you wishing for?

Abbe, It is so easy to do. It does take some time to mature but you can always let your friends know to wait a bit to use. It is great because they can just add more vodka to make more vanilla extract. all links, etc. if not in this post are in the blog post.

I made some homemade vanilla extract for the holidays and I thought it would make a GREAT AHR gift. Especially since places like Mexico, Tahiti, Madagascar are known for having GREAT vanilla beans. It takes just a few minutes to make each bottle and the cost is about $3 a bottle but the same size bottle in the stores is like $12! For the links on where to buy the stuff: http://www.marinhomestead.com/diy/how-to-make-homemade-vanilla-extract/ How to make Vanilla Extract Makes 18 4 oz bottles 1.75 litre of good quality vodka 18 Vanilla beans 18 boston round bottles 4 oz size with caps 1. Take a vanilla bean, cut it in half. 2. Then cut each half lengthwise 3. Put the 4 pieces in your bottle, then with a funnel, add the vodka to the curved line in the bottle. 4. Screw on top and repeat with the rest of the bottles and vanilla beans. 5. Store in a dark, cool place. We put them back in the box the bottles came in and put them in the pantry. This is what the bottles look like after the 1st day. This is what they look like 2 weeks after I made it. The mixture will continue to get darker. You should wait 2 months before using to get a fuller, vanilla flavor.

Rasheda, if you are on here please get in touch, so many other girls on here looking forward to receiving the little guy and reading the journal. I've passed this to 6 girls and just as it was about to come to me for my own wedding I would be gutted to find it's gone missing. Please help get the little guy and journal back on track. Good luck to all on here, and hope we get this starfish and journal back to keep going ....... well, that is too bad if Rasheda has flaked. That is NOT being a good BDW member

we do not have a new referral link yet but we are working on it...until then we have other contests to keep you all occupied

If you have templates to share and want to share them on the forum, please upload them. in the past when people said they would email templates out, after about2 months and 600 people emailing them for the templates they get overwhelmed and ask me to remove the offer. then people that have posted their email in a post get upset because now their email address is public (duh!) and they want it removed...well, honestly we do not have time to go around correcting these issues. we have forum rules in place for a reason...

Just a heads up for those flying on American Airlines or those about to book their tickets. Quote: American Airlines and its parent company filed for bankruptcy protection as they try to cut costs and unload massive debt built up by years of high fuel prices and labor struggles. There will be no impact on travelers for now. American said it would operate normally while it reorganizes in bankruptcy. The airline said it would continue to operate flights, honor tickets and take reservations. It said the AAdvantage frequent-flier program would not be affected.

Hi Ariel, for new members their posts do go into moderation. This is usually only a hold for a couple of hours but it is done to keep the forum as Spammer-Free as possible. We get dozens of spammers that try to get on the forum almost daily and sometimes what they post is not appropriate for the forum so we try to keep it from getting on here. Thanks for your patience.
