Breakfast is Served...


My new favorite thing. Surely, the easiest way to make eggs... ever. On the bottom of a sprayed muffin tin, place uncooked canadian bacon, or 1 slice of turkey bacon (cut in half so it's now 2 pieces). Crack an egg over the meat (my kids like it scrambled up a bit), sprinkle with cheese, salt and pepper. Pop it in your oven at 350* for 15 minutes. Voila!! We like 'egg mcmuffins', but they're also good just served with toast and fruit! Also makes the perfect meal when we have breakfast for dinner!! Enjoy!!    :)

Excuse this House


My mother-in law gave me this framed poem when I was pregnant with our oldest, over 10 years ago... must have been providential! I love it. And it still hangs on my wall...  :)

Excuse This House…
Some houses try to hide the fact
That children shelter there;
Ours boasts of it quite openly, the
Signs are everywhere.
For smears are on the windows,
Little smudges on the doors.
I should apologize I guess for
Toys strewn on the floors.
But I sat down with the children
And we played and laughed and read,
And if the doorbell doesn’t shine
Their eyes will shine instead.
For when at times I’m forced to choose,
The one job or the other,
I want to be a housewife, but first
I’ll be a mother.
