Want to make a three-year-old boy happy? Give him a meat tenderizer and hard candy and tell him to bust them up into little pieces. Logan loves these peppermint pattie brownies because he gets to help frost them and bust up the peppermints for garnish. They are what inspired this dark chocolate brownie with peppermint frosting. My son and I really like york peppermint patties. You know, do you see a heating pad? If yes, is there chocolate or chocolate wrappers visible? If no, you may proceed. Maybe a nice flow chart will help my boys out. I think I need to enact that in my household. The boys knew not to ask for a thing if the heating pad was out and there were brownies in front of us. Am I the only one that brownies are that ultimate “I don’t care what is going on, I’m gonna eat and go to my happy place” food? Growing up when my mom and I were both feeling, hmm, let’s say grumpy, we would make brownies and settle in on the couch with our heating pads and the remote. There is only one food group I know of that can end this day on a better note. I don’t even want to be around myself today! So, I decided to embrace it instead of fighting it. He isn’t even home from work yet and I’m already working on my apology. His response? That’s ok, I have enough toys! Are you kidding me? What kid does that not work on? I’m baffled, but believe me, I won’t be using that as leverage again.Īlong with the stresses of everyday mom life, I’m PMSing, BAD. I told him last week Santa was watching and he better be sweet or he wouldn’t get any toys and he’d get coal. I didn’t know a kid could have such an attitude. Whoever said the two’s were terrible had it SO wrong. My kids’ behavior has been RIDICULOUS the past few weeks. I’ll be your first customer, or camper rather, I promise! Someone really should make this mom camp happen. You know, the ones you make your kids wear shoes in. Not the dingy worrisome showers most camps have. We could all bring a dessert and a bottle of wine for a collective happy hour and them retreat for the next 7 hours to our bunks to sleep, read a book, or whatever we wanted to do. Someone should start a camp for mom’s during the holidays (or year round). I’m stressed and I desperately need a break. I love my family with all my heart and with my last breath I would do anything for them, but this mom is tired. Good grief the errands! Maybe some women are just better at this than I am but geeze, a padded room at the asylum sounds like a nice vacation some days. There are meals to make, floors to clean, butts to wipe, spills to mop up. Even if I don’t work, reading a book or gasp, taking a bubble bath isn’t something a mom really gets to do often. Between the load of laundry in the dryer that, let’s be honest has been hanging out there for 2 days already, to the bathrooms that need to be scrubbed, I’m not sure what “take a day off” is. It was recommended that I take the day off today. These delicious dark chocolate peppermint pattie brownies with frosting perfect for your holiday entertaining!
