Reason No. 143

Reason No. 143 that you are a better mother than me:
I do not like to cook or bake with my children.

This past weekend, I had just gotten home from a lia sophia home show and Isaac informed me that I would be helping him and Ian make their own pizza dough and pizzas. Little man, that would be a negative.

There is something in me that cannot do it. The chaos creates an immobilizing anxiety in me, and then I get mean and no one has any fun. We don't bake Christmas cookies. We can hardly make it through coloring Easter eggs. Thankfully, birthday cakes can be purchased.

So, I hid.

Until I announced to the house that he who purchased the Chef Boyardee could help them make their pizzas. And, I documented all of the "fun".


Those advertisers are lying to each and every one of you. Whether it be Chef Boyardee pizzas or cupcakes made with Wesson cooking oil... baking or cooking with your children is not all that glamourous.

  1. Tru dat. I can barely handle the Easter eggs either. And we must come by this honestly, because I have witnessed Nana cooking RISE KRISPIE treats with Lucy...it wasn't pretty. She had no patience and Lucy didn't appear to be having 1/2 the fun she thought she would.
