Lunch Date

3/15/2015

 
The truth is it doesn't take much to make them feel super special. I am not interested in making fancy finger sandwiches and small strawberry tarts. But I am interested in making them feel important. This meal consists of macaroni & cheese (kid staple). Of course it's organic, really, it is! I swear. That makes it healthy right?! Salami from a pig we purchased from a local farmer. Really! We live in Portland after all. Celery, cucumber, blueberries & bananas. All grown in my own urban garden. 
"Bullshit," you say? Fine, you're right. Mostly. But I did give them flowers and I turned it all into a desert island complete with salami palm trees and banana blueberry bushes. Fun! Also they got a freshly picked bouquet of flowers. They felt special and grown up. And good. They felt good and that's the point, right?

Also, sometimes one forgets to invite guests. And sometimes one forgets that there is no lunch bunch available at the preschool, so one's children must eat their lovingly packed lunch at home. In the presence of royalty so as to avoid tears.

    I'm Molly. I'm all in for parenting.  I'm all in for good food. All in for big and small outdoor adventures. And really only partly in for homemaking. I want a Martha Stewart home and meal, but the truth is, we mamas just can't do it all. Not really. This shit is tricky!
    This is a collection of musings and missives about parenting like you mean it. I mean really mean it. About how you can pull off a really mostly decent meal, keep your house kinda clean, do some of your laundry, and also even remember to usually feed your pets. But mostly about  how being a mama is hard and we can totally rock it, but maybe that dream of perfection has got to give a little.

    Love, 
    Molly
