Coleslaw

There is at least one person in your life whose life appears absolutely perfect. Perfect house, perfect family, perfect life… They manage to juggle it all flawlessly and you can’t imagine them EVER having a bad day.

I’m here to tell you… that is not me. I’ve been called Super Mom enough times that I considered having it embroidered on a shirt but it isn’t my reality. My house has a lot of clutter, my laundry can go days without being put away, my kids can be unruly brats, and I yell FAR too much to be considered a super mom.

From the outside, it appears that I juggle a lot flawlessly but the stress and guilt I feel over not being able to do more eats at me. I push deadlines to the very bitter end and then rush to get things finished. I’m an ideas person, not a ‘getting $h*t done’ person. The reason I appear to be super is because I married someone who truly IS super. My husband works full time, has no problem taking all 5 kids to Costco by himself, does a tremendous amount of housework (yes, I am THAT lucky!), and he helps cook a lot of our suppers. 

There you have it..this Super Mom is married to a Super Dad and I could never make it through my crazy days without him.

In a medium bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar and coconut milk. While whisking, pouring in olive oil in a steady stream and continue whisking until it’s combined well.
