It’s another busy Monday. Back to school for the kids, work for the hubby and blogging for me. Monday’s are our crazy days. But I love my life and wouldn’t change it for the world. I never imagined how many kids I would have when I was younger. I just knew that I wanted kids.

I got super lucky because I had my boy first, then my daughter. Once I became pregnant with my son I then wanted a daughter with a vengeance. I got super lucky because there are no boys on my hubby’s side of the family beside his sister. My hubby and I were very excited once we found out we were having our girl. Gosh babies are a lot of work, aren’t they. Well it doesn’t get easier. I thought life would get easier once the kids got older.

 

That’s not the case. These kids get busier with their extracurricular activities. I know I’ve told you before my son plays club soccer and my daughter does gymnastics. And they are ALWAYS HUNGRY. I’m sorry to yell at you, but my gosh these kids are going to eat me out of house and home.

I’m always needing to buy or make snacks for them. It’s seriously a 24 hour job. I got this delicious recipe from my friend, Stephanie at Macaroni and Cheesecake. They came together like Rice Krispies, but my goodness they taste soooo good. They’re perfect snacks for the kids when they come home from school. In fact they’re perfect snacks for us adults. I love the crunch, sweetness and chocolate chips.
