Late Night Bake Nights

Last night was a little crazy in our house.  As a varsity coach Brent no longer has to attend evening practices.  This was not planned for.  Yeah for us, boo on my meal plans for the week.  When I'm home alone for dinner I do cereal and strawberries.   I am too busy keeping up with Madison to cook anything for just myself.  And with struggling to loose baby weight, lets face it- I don't need much more.  Needless to say, Brent does not want cereal for dinner, so off to the store we went.  I decided to try out the Cooking Cremes by Philadelphia and make some enchiladas.  Delicious! We will definitely be making these again.

However while I'm trying to make dinner and make a dessert for my office's potluck- Madison has a melt down.  I tried letting her cry it out for a bit in her chair, but after 3 minutes and tears puddling on her face everything was placed on hold for her- as it should be.  I'm still learning to balance it all.  I'll get there.

I had to bring in a dessert for our office's potluck today so I decided to whip up some Oreo balls.  One of Brent's favorite desserts.  But with Madison's meltdown I didn't get finished til pretty late.  It had me thinking this will not be the last time I am up late baking.  I can see all of the future school cupcakes, classroom parties, and of course birthday parties! Those thoughts definitely put large smiles on my face!

So glad it is Friday and I get to go home and spend two full days with my baby girl.  Can't wait for 5:30!!
