A funny thing happened while driving the kids to school yesterday. And by funny I mean, even my 6 & 7 year old were laughing and sometimes a bit confused.
When we bought the van, it came with three free months of Sirius radio and when the kids are in the car I tune it to ‘Kids Live’. The kids love to put the wireless head phones on (also came with the car) and listen carefully to the lyrics. Along came ‘The Mom Song’
The premise of this song is that these are the words/sayings that a mom says in a 24-hour period, condensed into a 2 minute and 55 second song.
Take a listen and prepare to bust your gut.
My favorite part of our van ride was when my son removed his headphones and said ‘Mommy, that is what you say to Daddy!’. He was referring to the statement ‘Don’t roll your eyes at me’. I said ‘That is correct Ben, make sure when you feel the need to roll your eyes at me, you do it while you are walking away so I can’t see your face’.

Yup, I used both bit feel free to omit your choice and add something sweet on top if you want more sweetness
Tessa says
Thinking about making these this morning, but it looks too sweet? Do you really use the agave AND the brown sugar? Seems like it would be one or the other.

Joady/Christine – the only place I see an error is in the title where you can print the recipe and that has been fixed. Do you see an error somewhere else?
Joady says
