Favorite part about being a mom: Watching my kids play nicely together, learn new things and have giggle fits!
Least favorite part about being a mom: Answering the same question 20 times. Letting go and allowing my kids to make mistakes I can see coming. I know they will learn from the mistake, but it's still hard.

Wake Up Breakfast and Lunch

Now that we’re into the school year and kids have settled into a routine, has breakfast and lunch become routine too? I know my kids are in charge of making their own breakfasts and lunches on a daily basis. We’ve had some successes (taking celery without any coercion) and some failures (cherry candy does not constitute a fruit), but all-in-all we’ve had some decent lunches.
Need some ideas on what to make for your kids or how to get your kids involved in making their own breakfasts and lunches?
Watch Fox 6’s Wake Up program on Tuesday, September 23rd. I’ll be on around 8:15am discussing some easy ideas and show you some cute, inexpensive lunches that even the pickiest of eaters will enjoy.
If you’re looking for a family meal idea before Tuesday, check out my last appearance on Fox 6 by clicking the picture below.
Have a great weekend!
