Things that would change about our eating habits if I were a 'good mom'
1. Meal planning. I'd do it. As it goes right now, I grab whatever is available and stick it on a plate.
2. Teeth would be brushed twice a day, regardless of how much I don't feel like it.
3. Eating food off the floor would be verboten.
4. The car would not be mistaken for a traveling compost bin.
5. My children would not be eating Balance Bars for dinner...in the bathtub.
6. Ella's bedtime snack would not be bacon. Seriously, what child asks for, and eats, bacon for a pre-bed snack?
7. A dinner of clementines would not be considered nutritious.
8. Our major food groups would not be frozen blueberries, yogurt, and pancakes.
9. Vegetables on the plate would not be treated as garnish.
10. I would not laugh when I read 'experts' say that toddlers like to try a variety of colorful foods.

Are you saying that kids shouldn't eat things off the floor? Ooops...
Lucy is such a carnivore that she'd be thrilled to share some bacon with Ella!
LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!! I can't decide which imagry I like more: your car as a traveling compost bin, or both kids eating balance bars in the bath tub. Both are just AWESOME!!!
You mean to tell me that this is not normal??????????? I find it disturbing to think that you feel this is abnormal!!!! lol Check around, my dear Nicole... This IS NORMAL, and scarey as it may seem, we all turn out ok!
Yummmmmmmmmm bacon in the tub. Now THIS is a gal after my own heart! Love it!!!!
Loved this post! You can join me in the not-so-good mom club.
Oh dinner in the bath tub...what a fabulous idea! And, kudos for using the word verboten. Blog bonus points for sure!
I keep reading and laughing.... I really do love this posting!!!
Again, you should write children books!!!!!
Love you all,
Aunt Lynne
I'm still working on getting Brian not to eat off the floor-are you telling me I will have the same problem with my kids?! Love this post and I think you are a fantastic mom!
HAHAHAHAHA! A look forward: 17 year old is a carb maniac. Used to eat everything when he was the twins age. 14 year old, eats everything now, but used to live on grilled cheese and chicken strips! Keep up the good work! Love, Aunt Debby
