dethroning dessert, when bribing with brownies isn't working anymore

It's a little nuts here. Breakfast on the floor on upturned laundry baskets, antibiotics and the upset tummy to go with it (me luckily, not M) and a house full of dust and toxic floor sealer smells, working out of the local coffee shop...

So, I am linking you to my colleague Kathleen Cuneo's newsletter to my thoughts on "dethroning dessert."

Let me know what you think? Are you a dessert briber? Does it work? Have you given it up recently? Are you afraid to give it up?
