LET THEM EAT CAKE




No, really. Let them eat cake.


For breakfast.


Seriously--if you want to remember exactly why you signed up for this mothering gig ....


If you want to be somebody's hero ...


If you want to sit down to a meal where the accolades flow forth like a fountain ...


Let them eat cake for breakfast. Bake it the night before. Pull it out with a flourish after making normal morning preparations. Watch their eyes pop. Then enjoy the (sugar-fueled) ride.

I always tell my boys, "What good is it being the grown-up if you can't choose to eat dessert whenever you want." We have also enjoyed cake for breakfast and it makes for some of the most enjoyable breakfasts.
