I think my poor deprived child would have a similar reaction as your kids if she saw someone cook bacon in the morning as well! :)<br /><br />And about the TV, gosh, that's so true. The simple stories of real everyday life about mold-a-ramas and eating bacon for breakfast aren't sensational enough for mainstream news media. The stories that make the cut aren't really that relevant to everyday life, but if we listen to it often enough, it can really mess up our outlook, mood and attitudes. I've been trying to get my news mostly from the Internet these days so I can choose what (and how much) I read, instead of blindly turning on TV and leaving it on the news channel. It has really helped me stay more grounded and be more grateful for what we have, and not get caught up in all the doom and gloom (and the consumerist ad campaigns!)<br /><br />Anyway, welcome back from your vacation... Glad to know you had such a great time.

My kids are allowed to order it if we go out somewhere, but it's not something we buy to have around at home. Same with dessert stuff. We only do that maybe once a week and it's nearly always something we make ourselves, so my kids are always surprised when people have bags of store-bought cookies in their home. But then I know there are people who would look in our kitchen and be horrified by non-organic something or other, and fake syrup, and that I let my kids put powdered sugar on their crepes.... As long as we all just mind our own business it all works.<br /><br />The bacon! They saw my mom cooking bacon early in the morning and came upstairs to ask me privately if they were going to have to have lettuce and tomatoes for breakfast as well. I thought they were joking at first. I'll never forget the stunned looks on their faces when I said most people think of bacon as a breakfast food.Korinthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15580286551375780490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8654887465201994138.post-4694618416370173442014-08-12T08:20:06.290-05:002014-08-12T08:20:06.290-05:00Your vacation sounds delightful and chock-a-block ...Your vacation sounds delightful and chock-a-block full of fun and adventure. <br /><br />It IS funny how different families do different things. My sister allows her children one soda a day and we just don't have that here. But, I'm all about dessert or a fun snack and she's much tighter about what foods her children consume. <br /><br />As for the bacon thing...seriously?? Your poor, deprived children. ;oP Rachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09317328366288947798noreply@blogger.com
