I will never forget my sister and her husband (so fun to say that since their wedding was 2 weeks ago!) making these for our family for Christmas morning last year. My brother-in-law very carefully placing each blueberry by hand onto each pancake on the griddle. You KNEW this was a man that loved my sister as he was taking his job VERY seriously!

There are some amazing moms out there. Mom's that never once get a break in their day. As moms, our children are the center of our universe and I wouldn't have it any other way. But I also can't imagine not having a break every now and then just to breathe, be free to schedule an appointment, maybe get a mani/pedi, or just take a shower AND dry my hair. ...
A few last minute Halloween things to think about.... FIRST - have you ever thought about doing something, but are totally "spooked" at what it might cost that you rule it out before you try? I'm usually pleasantly surprised when I actually ASK what it might cost.  That being said - how about having someone else do you're eye makeup and fake lashes for Halloween?

We travel, oh yes we do! This past year has been CRAZY. We are not jet setters by any stretch of the imagination (but imagine the fun jet setting could be! I'm sure everyone else is envisioning glamorous and exotic locations, while I'm just dreaming of a private plane with no security lines or small public bathrooms to change diapers. Oh the joy!!!) OK, back to real life... We've had...

But it's nice when people think so - kind of makes you feel like you're doing something right! I am so very thankful for all the amazing feedback from yesterday! Awesome emails and calls and comments...it made my whole day that the Labor of Love it took to put it all together was actually worth it. And now I can't wait to start filling that Favorites Gallery! However, it's probably...
