As working Mommies (or Daddies) I know we always wish we could do more for our babies. It's the same for the SAHMs and SAHDs - They work hard and with a lot less recognition - there are no raises, no congrats after presentations and sometimes they get the comments from other moms on school projects "Well, you can help with this [huge project] because you don't work, right?" It's hard for all of us.
So we look for any little triumph we can. For me that is meals, when baby girl actually EATs what I make, my husband gets up for seconds or looks at me after a meal with a smile saying "I married the right woman" - I feel triumph, satisfaction. I made my family happy.
But please know that I only post my triumphs on this blog. I am faaaaar from perfect. You'll notice a large gap in the posts- It was a hot summer, we don't have air and I just made the basics. I could have taken a picture in me with my PJ bottoms on, cooking Annies Bunny pasta over the burner on the outside grill at 5am.
I have a beautiful vodka cream sauce that I scalded on the stove because I was trying to get Wonder Pets to play again. So many times I planned to be home early from work so I could make a great meal, only to have a bonfire at the last minute and plead with my husband on the way home that white rice with lunch meat turkey really is a meal.
If you read my family blog you will know how I believe that we are all doing "the best we can". That's all we can do. So when you read my posts, understand I had to clear away stacks of mail and mess to take the picture on a clean counter or table. I'd always love to hear about how any of you tried a recipe or if you even made it better/easier somehow.
Cheers!
