A realistic snack

I know every mother has grandiose plans for her life and children. Kids perfectly cleaned and groomed, no holes in jeans, skipping home on the way home from school, freshly baked cookies waiting in the oven with milk. But let's face it, in real life this is not the case.

Since the start of school I feel as though I have less time. We go through jeans like they are disposable and I can't see to find the bottom of my laundry pile. I really thought I'd honestly have more time now that Camden has started school, that she'd come home to all the housework down and some fresh snack waiting. In all honesty, most days I find myself reaching for fruit snacks, crackers, or carrot sticks. Any thing in my pantry ready and willing to help me out.

Like I have said previously, once a week I try to bake something. Not only for my babies, but to share with teachers, Jason's co-workers, and so forth. This week we made Magic Cookie Bars(you know from the back of the Carnation can) - which I hardly consider baking. They were satisfying and Camden had a blast making them. However, they were never photographed so you'll have to take my word for it.

Above is a snack that hardly qualifies as baking, cooking, or anything domestic. However, what kid would not flip for something sweet bathed in sprinkles? Camden will enjoy these when she gets home today and I hope to see her eyes light up.

This is barely a recipe, cut bananas in half, skewer(I was out of popsicle sticks, which I have found are way better than bamboo skewers. So you can do better than me.) and freeze. Melt chocolate in double boiler, I opted to add some peanut butter - for protein, you know. Roll in choice of toppings; I opted for toffee bits and sprinkles today. Place back in freezer until hardened.
