Nacho Skillet Casserole Recipe

I was so thankful a couple of weeks ago to make yet another successful recipe.  Most of the family enjoyed this one, as it is very similar to taco soup, which has also been a favorite at our house.  This one is called Nacho Skillet Casserole, and it's so quick and easy for the nights that you just don't have time to put a lot together.  Since you are quite possibly in a hurry as we speak, I'll get down to the nitty gritty.

Why I Admire Homeschool Moms

Last week I talked a little bit about the disagreement between moms about which is better: working or staying at home. Likewise, there is also disagreement about whether to homeschool children or send them to either public or private school for their education. It can be a really tough decision choosing between the public and private schools in houston, let alone bringing homeschooling into the mix! There is just so much to think about. Choosing the type of school is just the beginning, as then as a parent you need to pay close attention to the secondary school league tables,…
