I truly enjoyed this post!
My favorite ...Tondra,<br /> I truly enjoyed this post!<br />My favorite part:<br />I've learned that the key to "curing boredom" is to engage in something<br /><br />relevant<br />meaningful<br />real<br /><br />So true! We are searching for meaning and our empty online scrolling leaves us exactly that: empty. But, if we look at beautiful food pictures and actually create-move-engage-and become movers, well, it's time well spent!<br /><br />Thanks for visiting me, I've missed you. And, I'm so impressed by your kids' creativity!<br />Love,<br />Tammy<br />(#6 this week)Tammysincerityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16959015797818229243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-166591102422524517.post-2075372753075812332015-12-05T09:55:05.561-08:002015-12-05T09:55:05.561-08:00I totally understand the "I'm bored"...I totally understand the "I'm bored" thing despite not being a mom yet, but I love the suggestions on what we can do so we're not bored. I'm a brand new blogger and new to the FMF community in the #55 slot. Interesting post, it's definitely outside the box thinking and making me think of food! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-166591102422524517.post-23479544064756731962015-12-05T07:00:36.797-08:002015-12-05T07:00:36.797-08:00Yes, Sylvia!

(that's when I usually get the tween/teen eye roll like "seriously, mom?") But I really do believe that I have enough thoughts and ideas brewing inside of me to keep me busy for a lifetime! Praying God's grace will keep my mind as long as He decides to keep me here.Tondra Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01061667549872581095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-166591102422524517.post-14006063804743920502015-12-05T06:51:23.766-08:002015-12-05T06:51:23.766-08:00Yes Karrilee!

I think what made me most proud of those strawberries was that my daughter melted down her leftover school fundraiser chocolate and covered strawberries we already had in the fridge. When I glanced up from blogging... (I mean researching) and saw her creations, my jaw dropped!Tondra Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01061667549872581095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-166591102422524517.post-52558409401711922462015-12-05T06:45:58.337-08:002015-12-05T06:45:58.337-08:00Oh no, Tara!

It's funny because the kids were busy with a summer business in 2014, and this past summer I decided to just let them relax and have a "free range" summer. But then... "THOSE WORDS" made me cringe as they started complaining of boredom only two weeks in. And so, we started out on a quest to "cure" boredom. It's been pretty interesting, I must say.Tondra Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01061667549872581095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-166591102422524517.post-10837961599228400942015-12-05T06:37:01.241-08:002015-12-05T06:37:01.241-08:00Thanks Rachel... they were delicious!Thanks Rachel... they were delicious!Tondra Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01061667549872581095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-166591102422524517.post-19290538086305311292015-12-04T15:29:20.784-08:002015-12-04T15:29:20.784-08:00What great ideas... and those strawberries!!!

How familiar! But my one son had a kindergarten teacher who used to say, "Boredom is a sign of a lack of creativity," and I was so thankful for that---because I used to quote her a lot! Then I'd say something like, now you just sit here for five or ten minutes, and I imagine you'll think of something interesting to do. And they usually did. But I also used your jobs list method, and think it's just as effective! Good tip to use on ourselves, too.
