Yesterday, Zachary decided to make breakfast. Blueberry muffins to be exact. I was getting out of the shower when he knocked on the door. "Mom? I made breakfast."
"Really? What did you make?"
"Blueberry muffins."
"Do you need some help?"
"Nope."
"Do you need me to turn the oven on for you?"
"Nope, they're all done."
"Well good for you! I'll be out in a second and we'll eat!"
"Guess what, mom..."
"What...?"
"I found some mint extract in the cabinet and put in the muffins. That's why it smells minty in the kitchen."
"Uhhh, really?"
"Yup, I think you'll like 'em."
"Oooooh, 'K, bud. I'll be right there..."
Long story short, everyone had some, (although some ate a little more tentatively than others) and at the end of the day, the general consensus was that they were ok, and the best part of eating blueberry mint muffins is that the minty feeling made their burps feel clean. Leave it to my boys to point that out.
ps - Don't tell Zach, but I don't recommend the mint flavoring...

About Me
- Christie
- South Jordan, UT, United States
- We are a big happy family of 7 - me, my husband, and 5 boys. To answer the most commonly asked questions: Yes, we did want every single child. Yes, we tried for a girl once, but eventually we decided we were happy with whatever we got. And No, I don't have it all together all of the time. In fact, I rarely (if ever) have it all together! We just keep the important things together and try to keep most of the pee off of the toilet seats. At least in mom's bathroom. Sometimes...
Planting More than Flowers...
Children are not lumps of clay that a mother can mold and shape into whatever she thinks would be best. They are seedlings… already pears, pines, or petunias. As gardeners, we can add only sunshine, water, fertilizer, time, and love in order to make that growing plant the most beautiful specimen of what it was intended to be.

Another wise thought that made me think...
"Even during times of disstress, we have nothing to worry about; We are perfectly free to have joy and rejoicing without limit whenever we are ready, enjoying to the fullest the faith that brushes aside every dark and foreboding cloud of gloom, the hope that leads us on to never a moment's boredom since we are always seeing something wonderful ahead."
