I find it crazy that I have been "sneaking" veggies into everything - WHILE THE KIDS WATCH ME. They think it's funny. They think they've won the war on veggies. I kind of agree...
Here's a little bit more about why I do it this way.
My once a month trips to Lincoln to go to Costco also often include an entire day off for myself. I shop, I set up my computer at Panera and work for a few hours, I sit with a cup of coffee, I get groceries. ALL BY MYSELF. So taking someone with me to help me at Costco means that my introverted self wouldn't get the much needed alone time that I almost never get and very much need. :)
Most of the "someones" who could possibly go with me on these trips are staying behind with the littles to make the day off for me actually happen. Love our servant-hearted Bigs!
So I go it alone, I get a big Costco workout, and I come home refreshed and ready to tackle motherhood again. :)
