As moms many of us have things that we would like to get off our chests or that we would just like to confess…sometimes they are little and sometimes they are big. So here is the place to do it! Visit Life Starring Ellie and Even to link up your mommy confessions every Friday.
This week I’m confessing…
My kids eat cookies for breakfast.
Yep, I said it. I don’t make a healthy breakfast for the kids during the week while my husband is at work. In fact, breakfast is a free for all. It could be cookies, left over pizza, scrambled eggs and hot dogs, it’s whatever I can throw on a plate quickly to fill up the tummies.
Okay, I’ll go one step further and say lunch is pretty much the same way. School is out and I imagine the eating habits are going to get a bit worse. I’ve got a baby on my breast, a toddler at my feet, and a pre-teen running his mouth. Can you blame me?

Sounds like my breakfast! I generally grab whatever I can find to eat, but I TRY to make the kids something like breakfast food for the kids…cereal is a favorite easy thing to “make”. It drives me BONKERS when hubby criticized me saying that cereal isn’t a healthy breakfast and that the kids should have a balanced meal…fruit, dairy, protein, blah blah blah. If he wants to make it before he goes to work cool…if not cereal or toast with honey is it.
Thanks for Confessing
We eat poptarts every morning… I’ll make some eggs or cereal every once in awhile, but usually we just grab poptarts. I gotta check my email and stuff! Plus Lily loves poptarts while she watches her morning cartoons… don’t judge
My son would love cookies for breakfast! Just not chocolate chip ones. He’s already informed me that he doesn’t like chocolate in any form. Luckily for Jake he gets breakfast at school and it’s usually pretty healthy/filling. If it were me it’s be whatever he grabs.
I’ve allowed my kids to snack on cookies for breakfast, twice, this week. I consider that good because although I’ve had cake for breakfast (I had chocolate cake this morning), I won’t let them eat cake; do as I say, and not as I sneak and do. Then again, what’s the difference between cake and icing for breakfast and pancakes w/all the syrup?
Sounds alot like my house!
You’re better than I am…my son gets his own breakfast. And leftover pizza happens to be his favorite!
Just saying.
I thought you were DONE changing the blog look! haha.
We do dry cereal ALOT! The kids love it though. And the boys would eat peanut butter 24/7 if we would let them.
Hahahaha!! I love it. My husband will eat whatever for breakfast, too.
I’m the opposite…well most of the time! I’m a stickler for eating a good breakfast and decent lunch. Dinner is usually pretty lazy though! But with 3 kids…believe me I understand!
Can’t blame you a bit and I’ve been doing the same thing quite frequently. No teenager here, but with a three year old and two 9 month olds, I consider it a success if there is breakfast served at all.
