Of course, you teach your children right from wrong and always hold them to strict standards, though you may prefer that someone else in the household do the actual disciplining. That's just because you are so devoted to your little ones, you can't stand the thought of missing out on any time with them behind angry doors or pouting faces.

S'mores Mix

I just made this up and the kids loved it. Somebody besides me must have invented it by now! Mix equal parts of Teddy Grahams (Honey flavor), Christmas colored M&M's, and mini-marshmallows. Voila... S'mores Mix! It would be a colorful addition to any holiday party. ;o)
