The NEW Refrigerator Mom, model no. aut2bhome

She's plugged in, turned on, and remains cool when the heat's on.

Although she may be 20 years older than the most popular model, she's still goingstrong-24/7.

Energy efficient, she's stocked with gf/cf goodies and acidophilus chasers.

An entire shelf is devoted to home school science projects-each one carefully labeled.

She's frost-free and still manages to make her own ice.

She carefully insulates her children from the harsh environment, while preserving their childhood.

She extends their very life, keeping it rich and peak-fresh.

Constantly introducing her family to new ingredients and simultaneously discarding foods past-its-prime, she balances her family's learning diet.

She offers illumination on demand only, never forcing her light into the eyes of an un-hungry (unprepared) child.

She recognizes that the times children require (educational) nourishment may not be on a fixed 3-a-day schedule, but instead comes in spurts (as does their physical growth) and even midnight snacks can become a temporary mainstay.

Likewise, she understands the value of holiday foods and appreciates the motivation treats supply.

She acknowledges that her children need to occasionally venture forth from her safe hold for mixing, combining, separating, and baking.

She knows they will return to her better for their adventures yet still in need of her care.

Her children know where to find her after the party ends --- in the kitchen, humming softly.

The NEW Refrigerator Mom, model no. aut2bhome:

She's not sub-zero, she's off the grid!



With hearty thanks to guest writer, the amazing Helen Fults!
