Now that the weather’s getting warmer (here in LA, anyways), eating outside is becoming our norm more and more. But… I’ve discovered that if I add ONE new ingredient to my dinnertime creations, it just makes things a bit more fab (and no, I’m not talking about wine). Thought I’d share my way-too-easy and not-so-brilliant…

Mom Guilt: A Wasted Emotion.
Guilt is a wasted emotion. I thank my own mom, my best friend to this day, for teaching me this early on in life. Guilt wastes time. Guilt wastes energy. Guilt wastes your youth away. Guilt will NOT make you a good mother… it will only distract you, push you down, question your own confidence…
FIND! Box Play for Kids. We’re stuck on ’em.
