This morning was a crazy one. Lana had decided to get school lunch, which is very rare, but I still had to make Nuno his lunch which this morning was sushi. Something that really can’t be made the night before as it gets soggy.  I also had to bake homemade chocolate chip cookies (they are not biscuits as this recipe is as American as apple pie, thank you very much!) The first reason that baking these cookies was necessary was to thank Nuno’s mate for sharing his snack the day before as I had accidentally packed my son’s snack in his sister’s backpack. I also wanted to make them for Nuno’s class as it was their turn to present at assembly. And in the midst of this madness, I was also making apple sauce for my daughter to have on her oatmeal….There is a loonnngggg story there, but let’s just blame my husband for introducing my daughter to homemade applesauce, which can NOT be substituted for even the organic yummy store bought apple sauce I tried to serve the day before (too watery(:  SO, in this madness of juggling a million things, INCLUDING allowing my children to help peal the apples (non-parents there is nothing more patience challenging than allowing the kids to help when you’re in a rush), yes, in this madness, as I am about to explode, my daughter turns to me and says, “Mom. You’re very good at being a mother.” Right there ladies and gentleman. Is the BEST MOTHER”S DAY PRESENT EVER!
