Talking Brownies with Tanika

This is the time of year that my husband and I send our boys (ages 11, 9 & 9) off for their summer vacation away from mom and dad. For the third year in a row it's " Off to the grandparents we go". For some that read this they may think, "yeah time away" and for others they think "no, don't send them away". For me, I'm still on the fence. As for my boys, as soon as the school bell rang on the last of school they had suitcases packed and tickets in hand. I guess I know where they stand on the issue. My husband and I will be left with our 2 year old son and a 6 month pregnant me, and yes it is another boy.

This year when travel plans were being made the grandparents made sure they mentioned, hinted, down right requested we send Fairytale Brownies. So with the tearful, hug-gripped goodbye, I handed over a box of fudgy chocolate brownies during the departure. Noticing that other passangers noticed this exchange, once they landed I called to "one" make sure my children had safely arrived, but that the brownies had made it too.
