Over twenty-five y\"Ten<\/a>ears ago,  with four children eight and under, we learned the value of a timer. We began using them to teach our children time management. We would have them do various tasks and set the timer so that they could see how long things take when they really applied themselves. For example, in setting up their morning routine charts,  we would have them run and do each task that was going to be on their chart as we timed them, then when we made the charts, we would put the time that it should take (based on our timing session) in parentheses following each line item on the chart. (This also helped us to know what was reasonable to expect in a certain time period.)  Read More\u2192<\/a><\/p>\n

Making thing\"Lows with crepes or torts as the base is an amazing find for the low carber because these are either (1) easy to make (in the case of the crepes) or (2) easy to find (in the case of buying low carb tortillas). (Here are two of my faves to purchase: Mama Lupitas<\/a>* (they are brownish but I like them best\u2014and I usually prefer \u201cwhite\u201d\u2014they have a more nutty taste and make better tort chips and crackers imho and Mission* <\/a>(available in local stores too)\u2014these are more acceptable to my teen sons.)  Get the recipe here<\/a><\/strong>!<\/p>\n
