The plan was to do the show on Wednesday - the girls' last day of school. So they'd be there...not home.
But as it happens in live TV, schedules got shuffled and my healthy holiday treats segment got pushed to the next day - yesterday - the first day of holiday break.
So, quite literally, my kids went from one day gluing cotton balls onto construction paper, to the next they're cookie taste testers on live television.

That's Maddie and Charlotte hopping in to say hi and grab a cookie at the end of the clip.
I probably should have waited a minute or two to distract with the cookies... we sorta lost them after that.
Later that day when my mom asked them what it was like to be on TV all they could talk about were the cookies.
I mean, I get it. They're good.
And I know you know this already cause it's pretty standard around here... they just so happen to be gluten and dairy free.
You know who doesn't know that though?
Those two.
I don't think I've ever told you this before... my kids don't even know that I don't eat gluten or dairy.
Like, they have no clue.
They think the only thing I can't eat is crab cakes because one time at the beach they noticed I wasn't eating one and I froze and said I was allergic.
They tell everyone about the damn crab cakes.
If I hadn't put a cookie in their face, they probably would have told Rosie and Stephanie.
They have no clue that I don't eat half the food in our house.
Because I'm able to make delicious food and treats (like the cookies and hot cocoa from the show) that are so good, you'd never know they're "gluten and dairy free."
Cause, yes, it's about being able to have a dang cookie if you want to...
But it's also about those sweet little moments with the people you love, eating cookies and sipping cocoa and feeling the love.
That's what this time is really all about.
And I believe with all my heart that no one should ever have to sacrifice that.
You can get the chocolate chip cookie and hot cocoa recipes and see the whole segment right here on the Studio512.
Both recipes are from my GF & DF for the Holidays recipe book that has 28 gluten and dairy free recipes - all family tested and approved.
