Emily Tries & Fails (& Then Actually Succeeds?) In Making Kids “Bars” & Then Shows You All The Blurry & Messy Photos Of The Process Because, Well, That’s Where We Are These Days

This post was supposed to be titled “I Made Three Different Snacks That My Kids Love & Now I Won Life & Never Have To Buy Packaged Snacks Again.” Or my version of that anyway. I had two weeks to do it, but somehow only got to one snack, and failed at even properly making it or shooting it for the blog. I would say I have no idea where the hours, days, or weeks have gone, but I do:

It’s working, writing, listening to Brian try to homeschool, then putting my headphones on so I can’t hear (only to feel guilty about that), then cooking, DOING SO MANY DISHES, spending hours cleaning each day, trying to shoot fun content together (which really is fun), relieving Brian so he doesn’t purposefully poison himself just for a chance to lay in bed sans children, then of course playing with them (A LOT tbh – which is I love), and so many hours spent cooking of the actual meals that my intended snacks got neglected.

Also, I’ve been practicing my run-on sentences and not giving enough editing time for people to even fix it. The only real free time I have is after the kids go to bed, IF I don’t pass out with them which I usually do, and taking photos or videos in the dark isn’t pretty (which you’ll see proof of below). So . . . that’s where we are right now. Just doing our best and taking blurry photos of failed snack bars that I didn’t even invent, and calling it a blog post. Welcome to 2020
