This past weekend we went to visit my parents for my Dad’s birthday. My mom usually plans a “men’s breakfast” for his birthday (similar to my girls birthday lunch). Since we were visiting this year Dear Husband got to sit in on all the manly talk and I got to help my mom prepare breakfast.
Menu:
Grapefruit
Eggs Benedict w/ hash browns and bacon
Puffed Pancake with apricot sauce
Not long after this picture, Harry was jumping on the couch, fell off and busted his bottom lip. Now he has a big ‘ol fat lip and a nice sized cut under his lip. It’s pretty pitiful looking but all part of childhood.
Happy birthday Dad!
Hi! I'm a stay-at-home mom, community volunteer, reader and lazy. I'm a mother of two sweet boys. I love their hugs and kisses but I don't love wiping their snotty noses. Being a mom is my most important job to date but I think it's important to define myself in other ways too. That's part of what this blog is about. Thank you SO much for taking time out of your day to read it. I hope you enjoy it!

/ January 28, 2013Thanks. It’s easy to get bogged down in the ugly stuff of life and forget all that we are surrounded by beauty.

/ January 28, 2013OMGOSH that looks amazing!!! I mean, seriously now I see where you get all this good cooking from! I would be sending my dad out to Sunny Side Up cafe or nuking (sp?) some frozen pancakes or something… and that house looks SO COOL! I want that kitchen table with the beautiful view. I do I do I do.
