Me as an over the top mama

2/11 Edited to

... Read moreBeing an "over the top mom" means going the extra mile to make everyday moments special and memorable, especially during mealtime. One way I express this is by preparing delicious homemade chicken burgers, a dish that’s not only tasty but also a fun way to involve the whole family. I like to customize each burger, sometimes making one for myself and two for my kids, which echoes the phrase "One for me, Two for you" — a reminder of the joy in sharing and caring. This approach turns dinner into more than just nourishment; it becomes a way to connect, laugh, and create lasting memories. When I prepare these chickens burgers, I use fresh ingredients and seasonings that cater to my family’s taste preferences. The process often involves my children helping to assemble the burgers or picking their favorite toppings, making it a shared activity rather than a chore. This hands-on involvement fosters their interest in cooking and encourages good eating habits. Moreover, as an "over the top mom," I take pleasure in adding small creative touches, like shaping the patties into smiley faces, which instantly brightens the dining experience. These moments of joy and attention to detail highlight why being an over the top mom can be so rewarding—it's about showing love through thoughtful actions, especially during simple activities like dinner. Through such experiences, I've learned that being over the top is not about perfection but about the warmth and happiness we create for our children. It’s about creating a nurturing environment where they feel cherished and celebrated, one homemade chicken burger at a time.
