I took a page out of her parenting book and, after making huge bowls of caramel corn to give away, told my kids that if they ate 5 carrot sticks, they could have caramel corn as their dinner.
You should have heard the cheers.

I love it when I get to be The Fun Mom...it is so rare it really boosts the old ego, ya know?
Great job, Fun M☺M
if i can't be the fun mom, i'd like to be the organized mom. i wish i could eat 5 carrots and have that happen.
Totally struggle with that one. I want to be fun, but the practical "do the right thing" side usually wins out. Love the moments when I can be fun!
It is fun to be fun......I created scavenger hunt cards, with some learning activities *spelling, reading, math to get the answer and the clues then led them to go and find their new school clothes. We played this game the weekend before school started and the boys were so excited to go find all their school clothes. We started at the dinner table and it was a fun night. Carmel Corn for dinner....I would NEVER get these 2 boys to bed after that. They absolutely cannot handle their sugar. But you are a fun mom alot, you just don't realize it!!
