Do you ever find that as a mom you try and do everything absolutely perfect? You take your kid to Frozen Yogurt as a treat and they look at you and say, "This isn't even fun, mama." Or you make toast in the morning with bananas and peanut butter and honey, set up like Mickey Mouse' head, get all excited for them to wake up... and they turn to you and say, "I don't like Mickey Mouse anymore, mama." OKAY... As of yesterday, they were ALL ABOUT that freakin' mouse. Soooooo, a little bit of your Motherly Pride is chipped away. With every #FAIL you feel like a failure. You may even shed a tear or two. Not saying I have EVER done anything like that in my almost 7 years of mothering, but some of you mothers may have. (I have totally had emotional breakdowns, locked in the bathroom for a good 45 min, btw) It's okay to cry. Let it OUT! It shows that we are still human! I mean, if on a normal day we are doing laundry, going to work, packing lunches, making dinner, running baths, helping with homework, reading with our little ones, tucking them in bed and checking our email/social media, we can forget that we are only human and not the super hero that we just assume we are. This is the average life for a mother! We do it ALL.... Which brings me to my next, hopefully, NON-FAILURE.
Halloween is right around the corner. Per my daughter's request, I will be attempting to make these Eyeball Cookies. She got the recipe out of her book, Five Little Monkeys Trick-Or-Treat. I will be taking them to her Fall Festival on Friday. Wish me luck.
If any of you other mothers would like to attempt this recipe I will post it below. I hope I hear how happy your children are after they have one.
XOXO,
Lo Lo
Good Luck Not Ruining Halloween For Your Kid This Year.
