My favorite "comfort" food is homemade chocolate chip cookies. Therefore I cannot make them very often or else I would weigh 300 lbs. But my kids absolutely love to make them and they are always asking me if we can make them. I usually give in about once a month on a Saturday or Sunday when I feel like cheating on my diet. So today we did, and all 3 of the kids helped me. I decided that I would really let them help, no matter how messy it got. It turned out great and everyone had fun. It only took me a few extra minutes to clean up the kitchen and it was worth all the smiles.

So this is a great lesson in mommy patience. I guess it really is worth the smiles. I need to allow messiness more in my house AND cookies. You are a great mommy!
