Betsy - I am enjoying the fruit of quiet, still rest. Homeschooling has helped me address some out out of balance issues in my life. Funny how something I thought would define me solely has actually given me roots so I can explore everything else in my life. Chen - I would love some Peruvian recipes "sans" chicken feet:-) We were just talking about doing a Peruvian meal one week with our church family so send them on. I will post them here to share with the world:-) Amanda - I agree, your kids are a mirror. It is always horrifying seeing yourself in their behavior. Another reminder to always be submitting yourself to the Master's training as well. Peace to you three diva's:-) Gracias m’amigas!

You have truly turned a new leaf in the past couple of months and I am sooo proud of you! All of your hard work will certainly pay off in the long run! You are making a believer out of me!

The nutritive benefit is wonderful. What would your daughter think of that? You have some edifying rules. Keep training them well and these rules will become a part of their lives. Our rules have become engrained into my kids, but I have found whenever I act inapropriately, the kids always mimmick it. They make such a good mirror to keep me in line as well. Neither of my kids were particular about what they ate. I have always taught them that God may make them missionaries one day, and as a missionary, one may have to eat all sorts of strange things. We'd better practice eating and appreciating what we don't like now to prepare us to be content (when there is chicken feet in our soup).

It would be fun to have each child choose a meal once a week and cook it with as little help from you as possible. I try to make out a menu at the beginning of the week- they all pick out what they are going to cook & then we shop! We have a wonderful cookbook from Sonlight. It is filled with international recipes and so far, every single one has been delicious. I could share some if you'd like. I'd LOVE to share some Peruvian recipes with you too (I'm sure you'll want the chicken feet soup one!). Seriously, it might be fun to try some out before you all come! Can't wait!
