Baked With Love

February is finally coming to an end and I could not be happier. It feels like the Lil Man has had a different bug each week this month, which has made life at our place a little unpleasant. He's had two different cold bugs, and two different stomach bugs. Waking up to your little one throwing up during the night can be quite scary. One of my biggest fears is that he will choke while he is sleeping. So lets just say I do not get much sleep when the Lil Man is sick. Someone once told me that they find some days when they are at home looking after their child the day can be more stressful than when they worked outside of the home. All I have to say is I could not agree more. A stay at home mom is a  24/7 job. Each day is different and unpredictable. One day this month Mr. H decided to wake up before 3:00 a.m. and stay up of course. It was an extremely long day. This kind of craziness that has been taking place around our place has resulted in Mom not having much time to blog lately.

The day before Valentine's day the Lil Man was feeling ok to help me with our annual Valentine's day cookies. If you missed the cookies we made last year you can find them (here). He is a great baking assistant with the exception that he almost ate all my dark chocolate chips while I was measuring all the other ingredients. He did however patiently wait for the cookies to cool down.

 
The Lil Man decorated the paper bag for dad's Valentine's Day Sweets with "xo". Once hubby went to bed I put it into his lunch bag for a special Valentine's Day surprise.





Hope everyone had a much better February than we have had. Happy Friday!

Happy Love Day

I can't believe it's Valentine's Day already or should I say ... overblown, Hallmark-ed, commercialized day ... because that is how I feel about Valentine's Day. We don't get caught up with Valentine's day at our place. We show and tell our loved ones we love and appreciate them 365 days a year. But we do like making their day a little extra sweet with some homemade goodies and some smiles. Just wanted to send a little love and smiles to all our readers ...


Hope your Day and YEAR is filled with lots of Love, Hugs, Kisses & Sweet Wishes!
