No, I did not say that!
While eating with the family, my friend complimented his wife on a delicious homemade dinner.
“That’s great meatloaf, Mommy!
I don’t know about great.”

No, I did NOT say that!

Sweet Tooth
My 9-year old son loves anything sweet to eat and is always trying to figure out a way to get extras. The other night after dinner, he asked if he could have an ice cream bar. I said yes, assuming it was dessert. About an hour later, he comes back to me again and asks if he can have some milk & cookies. I said “No, you already had dessert.” That’s when he said:
That wasn’t dessert, that was my evening snack!”
I had to go into another room before I could laugh.

As told by our winner, Jen G.:
A hand-colored heart, to which the first pack of gum was taped...
A couple of years ago, my then-5-year-old daughter asked what I wanted for Mother’s Day. Since money was tight, our house was a mess (in part because we had too many “things” already), and I honestly couldn’t think of anything I needed or wanted anyway, I just asked that she and her brothers make something for me. Pre-school was always great about helping the Kids make gifts, and I treasure all of the holiday items they’ve made through the years. Apparently my Kids were more observant than I gave them credit for because, when I arrived at daycare to pick them up one afternoon, I noticed a big poster board on which the teachers had written responses to “What does your Mommy want for Mother’s Day?” There were nearly 20 responses, each one-upping the last: “Dinner; Dinner in a restaurant; Dinner and a Show; Spa Day; Weekend in Tahoe; Earrings; Diamond Earrings; Hearts on Fire Diamonds; A Convertible.” Then I saw my Kids’ entry: “Gum”. It was perfect, not only for the should’ve-been-embarrassed-but-was-actually-quite-proud grin I couldn’t get off my face the rest of the day, but because I really do love gum. Flowers are temporary, fashion is fleeting, but gum has the shelf-life of Twinkies, which means it’ll be around forever. When I no longer have the teeth to chew it, I’ll still have a big, silly grin on my face every time I find a pack of gum tucked away on a shelf in my closet, next to the half-painted jewelry box from 2008, the scented homemade bath salts from 2004, and the small, multi-colored, possibly ceramic blob from 2003. Maybe this year I’ll get cinnamon.

Hmm... what should I eat?
I wake up, and I want a bowl of cereal with fruit. But nooooo(!), I can’t have any of those things for breakfast. So I have to muster all my willpower to eat eggs and a hotdog despite the fact that my mouth is really craving a deliciously cool, refreshing, invigorating, sweet glass of OJ to wash down all that protein.
Come snack time (with my hotdog breath – even though I brushed my teeth!), I feel a false sense of liberation – like I can eat ANYTHING (but not really)! It’s just that I can eat fruit or have a glass of milk if I so desire. So I grab a little tub of baby yogurt, but realize I also want a banana, but I can only have either dairy or fruit. So I stand in the kitchen contemplating what I REALLY want for a treat, and have to remember that I need to also follow it with a handful of nuts or a hard boiled egg (Mmm… not!). Can you picture this? I stand there almost walking around in circles… ARGHH. (more…)

For busy moms and dads…in UNDER 30 MINUTES!!!
I received this recipe from my dear friend, Liz, who is all about making life easier and more fun for busy moms like herself. She is a mother of two from Yakima, WA. She says that her kids (ages 5 and 3) love this dish, and that, “It is definitely easy and SUPER yummy, too!” (I’d like to see our messiest eaters get their hands on this one.) (more…)
