One Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Remember Kids Will Be Kids

At Atria's I have SO many incomplete blog posts that it's laughable. They're incomplete because I'll start writing them and then life happens. They're incomplete because in between my inspiration for the post and editing it, I realized that I had a sponsored post to complete. They're incomplete because some national event took precedence. They're incomplete because I realized that we needed milk, eggs, or some other essential and I just forgot about it. There are so many explanations about why they're incomplete that I could devote an entire series of posts to that. Instead, I'd like to share a post from several years ago about how my kids messed up my grandmother's birthday dinner...

Wordless Wednesday: The Elf on the Shelf


This month our elf has been on the shelf, on the bar (guess she got thirsty), and all over the house.  As the story goes, the elf moves every night because she travels to the North Pole. And she does, except that one time she stayed in the same place for two days because she was "meditating".


In any event our elf makes us all behave better. The kids are trying to impress her and we're trying desperately to not let down the kids!



BTW-I preferred the plush elf, which is why we use this one.
