My little 7 month old, Keeley, has gone on strike and I don't know what to do about it. From 3 to 6 months she slept through the night. But right before Thanksgiving she quite. I didn't think much about it at first assuming she was going through a growth spurt or cutting teeth. But a month and a half later its driving me mad!! So, after doing a little reading most things I found said you have to let them cry. I had done that in the past and thought we would just do it again. However, she won't fall asleep. For the last two nights she has screamed for 45 minuets at which point I go in and pick her up. She shows no signs of giving up at that point. I have hear don't let them scream beyond 20 is that true? 45 minuets is a long time and I feel really bad making her cry for that long and then to ruin it by picking her up, Aggh! I'm sure many of you have had this problem any suggestion on what to do? Do I still need to let her cry? Is 45 minuets of crying too long?
Thanks, A Tired Mom

Food Storage
I've been asked about some links for food storage from time to time and thought I'd post them here for everyone.
Most sites either have the prices online or you can download an order form. Not all have the best prices on certain items so it will take a bit of comparison to get the best deals. The cannery has great deals on some things but not on others. Heck, Sam's Club has some pretty sweet deals too.
What we've been doing lately to store goods is using a 5-6 gallon mylar bag (with a ziploc top so it can be used and filled over and over again) in a 5 gallon bucket (from Home Depot) which has helped make things a little more efficient and easy to move. You can also get boxes from the cannery which work well with the mylar pouches. We've not got any food storage in cans other than some vegetables we've bought extra's of here and there at the store. I think you can mail order the oxygen absorbers from the church site or just pick them up with your next bulk order and package foodstuffs at home.
If you're picking up things from the cannery, do note that you'll need an appointment to can, bag or even pick up items. Last I checked availability was three weeks out for pick-up only and nearly two months for packaging.
Anyway, here's the links.
Be Prepared - Most foodstuffs listed are pretty pricey but it's fun to get ideas and browse the site.
Pleasant Hill Grain - This place has great ideas and prices for equipment, baking needs, grinders and water purification systems. They also provide fantastic customer service. We've been really pleased.
Homegrown Harvest - We've used this site for some grain orders and to try out new grains like buckwheat, amaranth and spelt.
Walton Feed - You can download their order form and do cost comparisons for the things your family enjoys. SP denotes a SuperPail which is a 5-gallon bucket with a liner and RB is a Regular Bucket without a liner. We've not made an order with them yet but will soon.
USA Emergency Supply - This is where we order the 5-6 gallon bucket liners. The more you order, the more you save.
Honeyville Grain - This is a great place to get started. They have super deals on dehydrated eggs, fruits and vegetables. We need to compare their deals with Walton Feed a little more though.
Nutiva - Bulk vegetable oils don't seem to last more than nine months in the NC (and VA) climate and we've made the switch to coconut oil. It's a better source of good fats and is shelf stable for 5-6 years.
Nuts Online - Just one more resource for organic grains.
LDS Home Storage - Here's the Church's order form.
Sam's Club - Here's where you can compare Sam's prices with others.
I hope all of the links work. Please add any you've found helpful.
Happy storing!
