The Recipe

This morning was a very frustrating morning with potty training Doster, piles of laundry, fingerprints that appear as soon as I wipe a door jamb, dishes that amazingly pile up as soon as the dishwasher is full, floors that are filthy minutes after they have been swept, bananas that are already black even though I just bought them, a body that is tired as soon as I got out of bed and cranky children after a week of late nights at VBS.

BUT, I found the perfect recipe to making all of that disappear!

1 romp through the woods with your sister-in-law discovering bushes of blackberries and the promise of more within days

1 husband out running errands

2 children down for naps

1 blackberry cobbler recipe

1 good girl movie

2 loads of laundry folded during cobbler baking time

1 hot cup of coffee

1 black toile bowl saved for special occasions filled with warm cobbler

1 spoon

= 1 happy Mommy!!
