"There is always, always, something to be thankful for." -unknown

It was an cold and snowy Thursday morning in late January. It had been a late night and most of the house was still asleep. The quiet house was driving me crazy and since late sleepers always wake up hungry I pulled out a recipe I have been wanted to try. One by one sleepy headed little people trickled into the kitchen asking what I was making and if they could help (they always ask). We spilled flour on the counter and tasted the chocolate chips and dropped egg shells into the batter. By the time real people in the real world were starting into their workday we were sitting in our pajamas topping pancakes with mounds of whipped cream maple syrup. #momentsofmylife
