Diet Ice Cream Cones

This is what we get for deciding to have ice cream cones for lunch. Taylor and I rode our bikes to the store to get the cones...working off the calories before hand, of course. Little did we know that we had bought "mini" cones. At this rate, we could actually eat 5 and it would be the same as one...but we didn't. We did put away about 3 though! Hahahah...jokes on us!

Tips for Moms everywhere...

Today, I thought I would share some of my favorite "mommy wisdom" tips.
1. Eliminate the phrase "perfect mother" from your vocab.
2. There is no training for being a mommy so when you screw up, forgive yourself and move on.
3. Remember the word "MOM" is WOW" upside down;-)
4. Make a gratitude list and post it. Then, look at it during those trying, stressful moments and smile...or try to!
5. If you are a stay-at-home mommy or a career mom...feel good about your choice and make the most of the time with your kids. Women can be so hard and judgemental towards each other when there is no need for it.

and now for my favorite quote about parenting...
"If you bungle raising your children, I don't think whatever else you do matters very much."

Super Sweet & Easy Cookie Recipe

Okay, here is an oldie but goodie for sure! One of our former babysitters reminded me of this one. It's crazy simple but yummy! I don't even know if they have a name but I'll call them Tali's Treats, after our babysitter whose grandma made them for her:-) The ingredients are ritz crackers, peanut butter and white chocolate. Spread peanut butter on one of the crackers and make a sandwich with another cracker (or maybe use the mini pre-made ones???) Then you coat the entire cookie in melted white chocolate and let dry on a rack. Sooooooooo yummy and easy, too! Take the pretty ones to someone else's house but keep these for you...they are that good! They keep for weeks in the fridge and are good cold, too. Enjoy!
P.S. I think some call these the "hillbilly cookie" but whatever you call them,they're still good:-)!!!
