One Secret to Success for a Working Mom, Expand Your Village (Jack and Jill of America)

Jack and Jill of America member and her daughter Recently, I have become keenly aware that good kids are created by accident. They become good because someone made a concerted effort to pour positive things into them--things like, honor, discipline and respect for others. These qualities are taught through lessons and by observation. For that reason, I have been actively considering how to give my children more examples of people who embody those qualities.  Indeed, raising my children to become good people is my most important job.

Wordless Wednesday: A Dessert for those who lack time

Memorial Day Dessert
Working moms are long on ambition, but short on time. That means that even though our hearts may be crying out to make a homemade peach cobbler to take to the Memorial Day picnic, the clock tells us that we just can't do it. In those situations, we need a back up plan.


When I needed to bring a dessert to the cookout I attended on Monday, I was inspired by somethng I saw on the old Bethenny Frankel show. Say what you want about Bethenny, she knows how to prepare food quickly that is rich in taste, but on calories. I made ice cream sandwiches out of Chips Ahoy Cookies and Breyer's Vanilla Ice Cream. They were the perfect treat for a hot day and enjoyed by adults and kids alike.

SCORE!!!
