For those of you that don't know me personally, I
looooove breakfast foods. Like, L.O.V.E. I could eat breakfast for lunch, supper and snacks. There is something
ohhhh so comforting about eating a hot breakfast. Don't get me wrong, cereal and I have quite the love affair too, but bring on the soft, warm, doughy, dense,
caramely anything, and I melt. Along with my favorite cup of
joe, breakfast is my favorite time of the day.
So naturally I am always on the lookout for yummy breakfast recipes. This one I found on
allrecipes.com and it definitely gets my stamp of approval!

The bottom piece of wood I found in our garage, and the top three, I purchased at Crafts Direct. The bottom says, "You Taught By Example, I Learned By Love". To keep them together, I used Gorilla Glue ( a very.tiny.bit. I learned my lesson before, lol!) to attach the blocks to the bottom piece of wood.
I absolutely love how it turned out, and I know she will love it! I am so blessed to have the most wonderful Mom, she has always been there for me through thick and thin. Even in my worst times (and Lord knows there have been many), I always knew I could count on her. And in those days when she didn't know anything (aka, my teenage years) she never let me go. I couldn't imagine my life without her, she is truly my best friend and confidante. I love you, Mom!

She got her very own big girl bike, which she looooooooves! Now, I am not one for character toys, but, I totally love this Barbie bike. It even has a mini bike attached to the handle bars for her Barbie!!! Too fun.
I love this pic of her trying to put up four fingers, she keeps wanting to put up three:)
