We Play With Our Food

Some of you may or may not remember my love of "playing" with the kids food 

{ here, here, and here}

I love the idea of feeding my family.

I know that might sound weird to some.

But to have the satisfaction of preparing meals that my family enjoys makes my heart happy.
Creating fun plates is just a fun little outlet for me.

When Becka asked if she could share some of the images that I had posted on Instagram on the Disney Baby Blog, of course I said yes.

Once it posted I felt great, it was super cool.
Then Disney Baby Blog shared it on their FB page.
And I was confused by some of the comments.

I get it, everyone it entitled to their opinions.
But when people say, I should "use my time more wisely and spend it with my kids" it stings a little.
Heres the deal,
I do this for my kids.
I do it maybe once a week OR maybe once every two weeks.
It takes a mere 20 mins max for me.
My kids faces light up when they get to see their "special" plates.
It gets them to try new fruits and veggies they might normally not have touched.
It gives us an outlet to make up stories about their plates.
And most importantly it gives them memories, memories they can file away to look back on with fondness when they are older.

I totally get this not for every mom, wether due to working, hectic schedules, too many kids to create for but I share to help inspire others and show my love for food.
But it is for me.
So I will continue to create plates and share.
