Good moms have sticky floors, messy kitchens, laundry piles, dirty ovens, and happy kids.
Most of the time I feel the opposite of this. I'm always struggling to keep the house clean and run my errands and then the kids are grumpy. I felt like when I had one kid it was so easy to be super mom. Those days are so gone!
I usually don't do anything special for St. Patrick's day, but this year I did...because of this quote. My house was a mess, but I decided to ignore it and do some fun things with my kiddos. First, we made a leprechaun trap out of stuff we found around the house. The idea was that we would leave our trap out over night and a leprechaun would reach for the cup of gold beads inside the trap and knock over the pencil that was holding the lid up. The girls had a blast making the trap and couldn't wait to see if they caught a leprechaun in the morning. Kaitlyn talked all night about what she was going to do with her leprechaun friend.
It turns out the leprechaun was too sneaky for our trap, but he did leave a poem and some of his favorite St. Patrick's day treats! (I cannot believe I let that sneaky leprechaun leave lucky charms for my kids!)
