After School Treats

8.24.2020

Happy almost Fall! If that sounds weird to you, you’re not alone. Luckily, we live in San Diego and still have a good two months of summer left. Not to mention, two more years before school starts too! But for those of you who are already in the ‘back to school’ rush, have I got the treat for you!

There’s ONE thing that is a must for us during the summer, and that is S’mores. But what if we took it up a notch? What if we combined one of our other favorite treats? What if we kept summer going right into the school year?

Enter: Rice Krispie Treats S’mores. And because we are moms, we have no time to be making these treats from scratch. So here’s what you do:

  1. Buy a box of Rice Krispie Treats
  2. Unwrap said treats.
  3. Drizzle melted chocolate over the top.
  4. Dust with graham cracker crumbs and a few larger pieces.
  5. Dab three or four mini marshmallows on top.
  6. DONE!

There’s literally not much easier when it comes to making desserts. I added some sticks into a few so Sawyer could keep her hands clean (mom win!). They tasted delicious and took me five minutes. I think I deserve an award. And I think you deserve one too, so right after you make these, treat yourself.

When I became a stay at home mom, I thought it wou When I became a stay at home mom, I thought it would only be for a year at most. But as it turned out, I was lucky to be able to make it last as long as it has. What no one ever tells you though about becoming a SAHM, is that your whole identity can get wrapped up in being a mom. And for some women, that’s not a good thing. But for me, it’s a phenomenal thing. It’s an incredible time in my life that I wouldn’t trade for anything. That doesn’t mean I’m not exhausted or irritated at all, it just means I’ll take all of the negatives because the positive completely outweighs it for me. 

This should go without saying, that if you AREN’T satisfied with just being a mom, that’s okay too. For some women, having something else that is THEIRS makes them a better mom. And more power to you!

Back when I was growing up (wayyyyyyy back then), Back when I was growing up (wayyyyyyy back then), it seemed like most people grew up around their extended families. By the time I was in my twenties, it just seemed more likely that you’d be living away from your home towns, starting your own life. But what we didn’t realize was what that meant down the road, when we would start our own families. That our village wouldn’t be made of our family, but instead close friends. The only problem with that, is that most other young parents are working to support themselves, thus aren’t always available to be your village. It can be hard to ask a friend for help when you know she’s simultaneously drowning in her own house. 

So if it “takes a village,” but you’re doing it on your own, I see you. It’s HARD, and it is exhausting. But one day we will be on the other side of these days, telling our babies that it takes a village. And hopefully, we will be right down the road to help them. 🩵

After having my first daughter, I felt like I knew After having my first daughter, I felt like I knew a lot about parenting. I had it down, we had a routine and a schedule and she was pretty easy to handle. Then we had a second. And I realized that everything I THOUGHT I knew about parenting was a lie. I wasn’t a pro at “parenting,” I was a pro at parenting HER. Now I do everything I can not to laugh when a mom of only one child talks like I did. I get it, we’ve been there too, and I’m not judging. But the more kids you add in, the more experience you get as a parent. Because every personality is SO different, that the way you parent one isn’t always the same as the way you parent the others. 

Thoughts?
When I heard this audio, I instantly loved it. It’s such a crazy thing to see in nature, that God is showing us just how stressful and depleting being a new mama can be. 

So if you’re in the thick of it mama, just know you’ll get your pink back soon.

I don’t think we talk enough about how great it I don’t think we talk enough about how great it feels when your child feels safe with someone else. It may be a family member or a best friend, but it’s such a good feeling to know they have another rock in their life.
