First thing I want to do before my actual post is send out prayers to all in Japan in this devastating time they are in right now.
Now on to my post. I haven't posted in awhile but that's because I have been so busy getting things set up to go to school. I start cosmetology classes April 18th. during the evening time first, till the kids are out of school then I'm going to days. I'm so excited and yet so nervous at the same time. As I progress in classes I will post pictures. I get my full kit, 5 study books and 5 dummy heads to work with. I have wanted to go back to school for so long now that the timing feels right.
I've been also taking nutrition classes at the Red Cross for the last 6 weeks and I learned several new recipes and lots of information I needed to know or needed refreshed on. Here is one of the recipes I learned in that class. Both my kids love this recipe.
