And while it might be a tad easier to get the big ones to appreciate your cooking, the same can’t always be said about the little ones.
Finding easy recipes for kids is a real struggle. I myself have such a fussy eaters who seem to not only survive, but also thrive with eating the same few dishes all the time.
Then evenings are far from being easy, so much to do, and so little time. The last thing we need is spending hours in the kitcken. Not that I would ever mind tough, I would be more than happy to cook and bake all day long. I wish!
The life of a stay-at-home mum of two little girls, as you can imagine, it’s far from easy. I am still dreaming of a self-cleaning house and clothes that come out of the mashing machine already ironed. Oh well, never mind!
