Baked brownies last night and cookies today. I forgot how much I like to bake! It's so cathartic. The kids absolutely love it, of course! But, what really melted my heart today was when Cooper came home from school and, unprompted, thanked me for making him brownies for snack time at school. I guess it meant a lot to him.
When I start to beat myself up for being "just a stay-at-home mom" I have to remember this. To my kids, I'm their hero! I make them the most popular kid in their class by making brownies and sending them with an extra one. I get up early and make them a hot breakfast so they have plenty of energy for playground games. I watch "Between the Lions" with them and quiz them on the words they learn so they get something out of watching TV. I notice when they need "Mommy Time" even before they do and head tantrums off at the pass.
My house is never clean, and my dishes are never done, and my laundry is never put away BUT my kids won't remember that stuff anyway.
