Mother's Day 2013

So my mother's day started with JJ coming into our room and climbing into our bed.  Usually he tells me he wants to eat or play trains and that means we are up for the day.  Today he slept for another hour.  Then when we all woke up, our little girl in my belly started to kick like crazy...we were all ready for the day ahead.

We went downstairs and Joe started to take out food to make breakfast.  Every Sat & Sun I make a big breakfast for us, something we started a couple years ago and it has just continued.  But today, Joe was going to make it.  He pulled out his phone and started looking at a recipe.  When it was all complete, we had eggs benedict (even the hollandaise sauce was from scratch) and fresh pineapple.  Very good!

Later in the morning I got a very sweet card and a nutribullet from my boys.  Which is perfect for someone like me who has issues with breaking down food...can't wait to use it.  JJ even looked at me and said "Happy Mother's Day" and it melted my heart.

We had a very low key day.  We went for a walk, had some lunch, talked with family, ran some errands....a perfect day for me.

As a pregnant woman, I am always having cravings, so I decided to celebrate Mom's day I would make some cupcakes & frosting from scratch...very proud of myself and can't wait to play with
 the recipe some more.  They were the perfect end to the night!


Happy Mother's Day!
