Since I'm neglecting my kitchen I figured why not break it back in with lots of red food dye!! Welcome back kitchen, now I’ll probably not see you again for a month or two…unless I’m mixing up bottles for the wee one.
Speaking of “mixing” it up, I have some great ideas for you to “mix” it up in your house and make things so much more fun…just in case you’re deep in the throes of kid kingdom like me and need to entertain yourself.
Idea number one is meant to relieve your anger without your child even knowing it, my suggestion is Simon Says. Simon Says you say??? How does this relieve my anger or anxiety? Well you just haven’t introduced a hose into the situation. That’s right - I would like to add that your child gets pelted with the hose water every time they don’t listen for Simon.
The little munchkins have NO idea..he…I have only tried this
Idea number 2...
Have a baby that needs a new FUN activity?
Does your child seem bored or are you bored?
Well might I introduce the game called “make really farking loud noises and see if your baby laughs or makes sad face”. How can something so wrong be so right, love you Desmond.
Please do not call CPS on me, for heaven sakes look at the brownies I’ve made them! SUPER MOMMMMMMMY!
