Baked raspberry donuts paired with an awesome story sounds like a fun afternoon to me! I am such a fan of Laura Numeroff books. IF YOU GIVE A DOG A DONUT is written in the irresistible tradition of the “If You Give…” series. The boy in the story gives the dog a donut which leads him into asking for some apple juice. When he asks for more and there isn’t any, he wants to make his own. The apple reminds him of a baseball, so of course he wants to play! One thing leads to another, and much like motherhood, the list of his needs continues on and on until the story comes full circle (and the little boy is exhausted)!
If you’re a mom, you’ve been there. Your normally sweet, loving child does or says something that makes you want to sink into the floor. The good news is, you aren’t alone. Kids have been embarrassing their mothers since the beginning of time. And bonus, you’re collecting awesome stories to share at their wedding (it’s always so much funnier after the fact, right?). Read on for a collection of real-life Embarrassing Mom Moments!
As a child of the 70’s, I grew up in a house that had fairly lax ideas on environmentalism. Perhaps the plight of mother nature was on my parents’ minds and possibly it was something that gnawed on their conscience on the daily but a small part of me seriously doubts that. In fact, one of my most vivid memories of summer vacations are of long road trips with my family.
I went on a date.
I carried it in my throat. The fear I mean.
Much has been written about how to handle children who are picky eaters. Hiding vegetables, putting ketchup on everything, resorting to bribery or just giving in to the handful of things your child will eat. I’ve seen the shows, skimmed the books and read the blog posts. For many parents, meal time is a massive pain in the backside.
I consider myself a feminist.
Kids just love waffles, especially when they have a tasty dip to dunk them in. In this healthy waffle recipe, I swapped out the sugary syrup with a tasty yogurt dip that you can put together yourself.
If I were to pick a favorite comfort food, I would have to say it’s cereal. Nothing lifts me up more than a bowl of Frosted Flakes (or Shreddies, or Honey Nut Cheerios, or Mini Wheats, or…) drenched in milk. And as much as I love cereal, my kids love it more.
