My Secret Awesome Parenting Tip for the Holidays

Happy Thanksgiving!

Come on, it's mostly water!

Caption: When my children are being especially obnoxious and I need to get something done, I make them go out into the yard and I give them iceblocks.

Now, don’t say I never share.

(Update: I was half expecting someone to comment that those iceblocks contain gasp! artificial coloring. Was prepared for the onslaught. But everybody has been very nice about not mentioning it. Then this morning I took another look at the photo and realized that my eldest is also holding a lollipop. EPIC MOTHERING FAIL!)

    hahaahah I’m glad you pointed that out, I never would have noticed. I was too busy thinking about how it’s too darned cold here to send the kids outside with frozen anythings and being jealous. It was a whopping 29 degrees here on Thanksgiving. I was thankful for polar fleece.
