Something I've learned from the 12 short years I've been parenting little hooligans: When the house is a mess and you have been trying to do your devotions for two hours and the laundry is piled up and you are still in your pajamas, don't get discouraged. Just sit your preschoolers around you in a circle in the middle of the kitchen, open a can of chocolate frosting and eat it straight out of the can on spoons. It doesn't get the laundry done, but there is nothing cuter than chocolate frosting goatees on two year old girls and four year old boys.
Life's too short.

Great idea ... I think I'll take your advice on this one! :)
Hello, I Just found your blog from Andreas... I love your posts, they're great! ... Thanks for the new perspective. :) I'll have to add you to my fav's.
Have a great day!

Thanks, I needed this today. (As I listen to the 2yo refusing to nap)
Too cute yet so true! Sometimes you just need to do something for you! Congrats on that wisdom!
Gimme a spoon and frosting, I'm all on board.
That's really cute, but it makes me feel a little ill. LOL!!
apparently, I need to keep chocolate frosting on hand. thanks for the tip.
Ah yes, though here it is a can of buttercream.... Oh wait, you were *sharing* it? I haven't tried that, hmmmm
Oh how I wish you'd been my friend when mine were all littles! On a morning like that, we'd play "pretend company's coming" and have a house cleaning party. But your party sounds like so much more fun.
Been there and done that....cool whip works well, caramel dip and we sneak in an apple to say we ate healthy.
Ah, thanks for bringing back some memories.
Sounds good to me. I wish I had a mom like you when I was growing up!
Love this post. Thanks for the reminder.
how about if you don't have any little ones and you can't get anything done? what then? can you still sit down and eat the frosting?
What fun!! I think I am too soon old and too late wise. I do that with the granddaughters. Good for you!! Life is to short to fuss about messy houses!! Children and chocolate frosting are much more important. Great advice!
I just found your blog from Rhen's. I love reading on life with lots of kids! I have 3 and are planning to adopt this time round for number four. We are kindred spirits in parenting. I so would let my kids do the chocolate frosting thing. Here's to laid back moms!
I agree 100%. Wonderfully put!
I needed this bit of advice...thank you!!!
