I know that when I was a teen I was invincible.  I could eat anything and everything.  I knew more than my parents.  The older I get the more I see how clueless I was.  So how do you prove to your teens that what you eat does matter?  It does have a lasting affect on their body.  If anyone knows what to do with a teen please give me a clue.

Slow to speak….quick to listen applies to our kids too?  One of my kids made a very poor choice this weekend.  For the first time in a long time I was slow to speak.  What a big step for me!  It seems to have helped our relationship.  There will still be some punishment for these poor choices.  I think there is some hope at raising good kids.  It is kind of funny how following instructions (The Bible) can work for me.

I am going to Italy with my mom and sister!!!  No kids! No husband!  I still can’t believe it.  They are going to be alone for 12 days.  Scary to think of what Daddy is going to feed them.  Sooooo I decided to make big dinners between now and when I leave.  I am freezing half of each dinner.  That way they can take a bag out of the freezer in the morning.  Then they can have a healthy home made dinner.  If there are any other ideas to help me not worry about them.  Please let me know.

If anyone wants to check in on them and make sure they are brushing thier teeth feel free!!

Bonjoirno……I need to practice my Italian!!!!

I have now joined the world of slow cooking!!  I love it!  Who knew it would be so easy?  I am trying a chicken dish.  Chicken breast, broccoli slaw, cream of mushroom and a bunch of other stuff.  I will let you know how it turns out!  My pot roast last night was great.  Baby potatoes, carrots, mushrooms califlower.  My kids loved it.  Any easy recipes out there let me know!!!
