Your kids will thank you when they are older. No one else could do a better job. They learn from you, work with you and know you love them. The cake is amazing.

I love reading your posts, and they truly do make me feel less alone! You are an incredible Mom (which, forgive me for saying, but I kind of get the impression that Martha was not), and an incredible person. You inspire me with every post...xox.

And for the rest: I know how you feel, I know how it is, the mom-thing, the doing-things-you-never-thought-you'd-ever-do-thing. I just wanted to let you know that you are indeed very inspiring. Thank you for that. Yum, that cake looks delicious. And for the rest: I know how you feel, I know how it is, the mom-thing, the doing-things-you-never-thought-you’d-ever-do-thing.

I guess that's why you're a writer! :) I worked full-time for years in my career before having kids and yes, so many days I scratch my head and think, what am I doing? But then those tender moments (that I would have missed out on) make me realize, I'm so glad to be a stay at home mom. You are doing wonderful things and um....seem like you make a freaking awesome looking cake. So you can take every Martha comment in stride. You seem put things so perfectly.

Not being a mum, but being around them a lot, I realise that it happens to everyone - the things they never thought they'd say, the bribing that goes on for a little peace etc.etc. Don't put yourself down! You are doing a great job engaging your children in a creative, participative, caring life style! Your cake looks amazing and a fajita cook out sounds like a lot of fun.
