mom envy

I like to cook, bake, garden, sew.   My baby wears cloth diapers, we compost, cultivate an organic vegetable garden, homeschool and my house looks great in pictures. There are a lot of blogs out there written by these super moms. I like this creative, green lifestyle. Sometimes I suffer from mom envy though.  I really wish gardening worked out for me.  I want to make my own laundry detergent and shampoo and bake bread, and have the kids particpating in all of these learning activities.
But we all do what we can and have to be ok with that.  I do manage to use cloth diapers. I buy veggies at Farmers Market and almost always use cloth bags.

This morning I made zucchini carrot chocolate muffins. Turned out well, except the clumps of baking powder that didn't mix.  And I made eggs with potatoes and spinach.  I used a cast iron skillet cause that's the good way to cook, right?  Half way through I switched it to teflon cause the eggs were sticking.  So I include a couple photos here, to show the reality of being a mom. The dirty dishes, clumpy muffins, etc.

Though, I did get these things done before noon and without a crying baby, so hey, points for me!
