For those of you looking for new recipes, check out my sisters recipe site, Healthy and Easy Recipes. She has turned out to be quite the little 'Martha' (but you can actually afford to make her recipes and all ingredients are in a normal grocery store!). She is faithful to update her site very regularly and she even gives you a meal plan and shopping list for those that want help with their entire weeks meals. I just tried the Lettuce Wraps and they were amazing...favorite recipe to date. I added a sauce to mine and the recipe for that is below...
SPECIAL SAUCE
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/8 teaspoon sesame oil
Owen wants to be home schooled...

and attend regular school! Apparently he likes school... His cousins are home schooled and he just loves and looks up to his cousins. So the other day he asked me why he wasn't home schooled and I informed him that I had given him the choice a few months ago of picking between the two. And his response was, "Mom, I really want to do both." Oh, ok. And what is a mom with a math and science brain, a degree in finance, to do about that. My brain doesn't think like a teacher, act like one or have the first clue about what to do. But hey, it can't be that hard, he's Pre-K for pete-sakes! So we decided the first two weeks (we're doing two days at home and 4 days at a local preschool), we would study the solar system. I headed to the library and found some books on the planets, stars and sun. Then one night I took a trip to Michaels to get some supplies to make a solar system mobile and glow-in-the-dark paint for some stars. So far, it's been a hit. He's loving it, learning and creating and listening to mom teach. So tonight we hung his mobile (don't judge the scale of things!) and glow-in-the-dark stars and he was thrilled. We read some bible stories about how God made the universe and put the stars in place. It has been a lot of fun. Tonight before bed, he said, "Mom, when is our next homeschool day? I really want it to be tomorrow."
So far, he's serious about this! He's requested learning about cars next week... surprised... I think we'll start with the horse drawn carriage....
