Chicken & Noodles, Cold Weather, and Kids

With the snowstorm in progress (8-10"+!!!!!) I decided that the day called for chicken and noodles, mashed potatoes and homemade bread :)


It is one of the best go-to meals on a cold, snowy day! What is your favorite go-to meal on cold, snowy days?


Ok, so the rest of this blog post is probably going to step on toes, and I apologize. No, never mind, I don't apologize, because, well, you will understand when you read it....

This is in regards to a certain situation I witnessed.  A mother called her hair dresser to get her 3 year old son in for a haircut on Saturday. Picture this: the wind blowing very hard, near zero temps, with below zero wind chills. Why on earth would you willingly take a 3 year old out in that weather just to get a haircut??? A 3 year old does not NEED to go out in that weather just to get a hair cut! They don't have that much hair to warrant getting them sick just to get a trim! And even if they did have enough hair to warrant a trim, is it really worth the health risk to your child to take them out in that weather just for a trim that could wait another week? 

My boys are 11 and 13, and we won't allow them to go out playing in that weather! I mean, come on, what are you thinking? I understand that there are situations such as weddings, etc, that might prompt the parents to want to get the hair all trimmed up, but again, the child was 3.  Sometimes I really worry about the intelligence of some parents :(

Thoughts? It's ok to debate, just to let you know. As long as we are all adults about it, I think it would make the discussion much more interesting :)

  1. I agree that a child or even adult doesn't actually need to go out for a haircut. No matter the age I wouldn't even go out in this for a haircut. Nobody is going to notice when everyone is at home.

  3. Exactly Bev! I feel that it is ridiculous to take a child out in this for something as petty as a hair cut!
