It's been one of those weeks when
...you don't get your nap in 2 days in a row because company shows up
...you dress your kids up in the most perfect pink and red ensembles for the valentine's day story-time celebration at the library, but find out that the whole shebang is happening next week
...you get a serious hankering for some apple chips but don't have any parchment paper
...you frantically clean your house because you've got company staying for the weekend and don't want to be too embarrassed
....you make sad faces out of fruit and sigh at the fact that it's come to this
Then you remember to smile because...

...you have friends that love you and want to come see you and their company is a treat
...your kids looked their absolute cutest and everyone enjoyed those heart shaped cookies you brought a week early
...when you slice apples all thin and fancy, they have starry little centers (a treasure you had somehow forgotten about)
...your best friend doesn't really care whether or not your house is perfect and accepts you for the slob you are

...food is amazingly photogenic and cooperative. unlike your kids, who have yet to be photographed in their sweet vintage valentine dresses

ooh apple chips, what a good idea! Might just have to give that a try. :)
ReplyDeletei was underwhelmed at this first batch. i think parchment paper might make a huge difference. i will try again come apple pickin' season :)
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you posted this. Let me just say that it's really hard being a mom and somedays I get so caught up in the negative that I don't notice all the amazingness around me. I'm taking the challenge!
