u know i heard alot of people say three was the hardest. i dont doubt it . but for me four has been the real kicker. i have four 6 and under and most days its like i cant get anything done let alone keep my sanity. but i will $ay they are a gigantic blessing and i wouldnt trade them or my busy life for anything.

This sounds yummy! I’m glad you mention the no-MSG…many people don’t think to avoid MSG. Thanks for sharing!

I am a stay at home father of 10 and know how easy it is to say “no”. Whether it is basketball or ice cream, the word “no” just comes out too fast sometimes. I made it a point to stock up on popsicles for the summer just so I could say “yes” a little more. We are making the 20 hour drive to Florida as part of my “yes” excercises. Your kids see and feel the effort you put into something and it affects them on a personal level. Great post, thank you.

Hi Samantha, sorry it took so long to respond. Stacey has been super busy getting materials ready for our next school year.

On the biscuit mix with raisins – no changes to the liquid are needed. Just add the fruit and go!

You are so right!
I make pancake mixes up and store them in Ziploc bags and put them in the freezer (to keep fresh wheat fresh). All I have to add is milk, eggs, and honey in the mornings.

Do you have to adjust liquid or anything if you add raisins to biscuit mix?

Salads are yummy! I have been making my own dressing with lowfat (or fatfree) Activia yogurt. You can add a little honey to sweeten it, seasonings, a tad olive oil/vinegar-or throw in some salza if you want a Mexican flavor. I found a really yummy & bean salza at Wal-mart.
