The best gifts are free

I did it!

I’m officially 40

I’ve been 40 for 6 weeks or so and I’ve been thinking about my birthday.

I was spoiled

I booked the day off

Had breakfast at a restaurant all by myself

Spent the day at the spa.

I was massaged, wrapped, creamed and got all 20 of my nails painted pretty.

My boss dropped my favorite salad for me at the spa and she made sure I had a celebration drink.

After it all, I have to admit that the best part of my day was when Emily gave me my birthday gift.

In the car, during our commute to school that morning Emily took her Justin Bieber CD out of the radio and replaced him with my Bon Jovi CD

When I asked her what she was doing she simply said : “Happy Birthday mom”

She picked Wanted Dead or Alive and did her best to sing along.

It’s been 6 weeks, my CD is still there.

🙂

Best gift ever!!!

Pancake variation

I love breakfast food… A couple of hours after I wake up.

I can’t eat right away when I wake up.

During the week, Emily has breakfast and I grab something later at work.

During the weekend or on days off, I make breakfast and Emily is up to trying anything I make!

My girl is the best at tasting food.

So yesterday we had the classic French toast.

And today, I tried a variation on the traditional pancakes following a post I saw on Facebook.

I used 3 cups of pancake mix and made 20 muffins 🙂

I used chocolate chips, nuts, seeds and coconuts as toppings.

12 minutes later I had this plate.

Pancakes – muffin size – various toppings and no maple syrup. They are yummy but I’m not sure we will try again.

Emily prefers her pancakes covered in maple syrup with a side of nutella, banana slices and whipped cream if available..

I think I’m with her on that.

What’s your favorite breakfast?
