{This Moment} - A Friday ritual. A single  photo  - no words- capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you are inspired to do the same, leave a link to your 'moment' in the comments section for all to find and see. We wish you a wonderful weekend! xo

Breakfast With Emma

An Emma and Mama breakfast on a glorious Saturday morning is the perfect way to start the weekend! xo

The Wisdom of Grace Elizabeth

Since Dave and Emma went to Wegmans this morning to do the weekly food shopping, Grace and I decided that we'd head out for breakfast. We sat there chatting and eating and taking in the world around us, and then, after a quiet moment, she says to me: "You know mama, the world planned for us to be together." 

This sweet soul never ceases to amaze me and I am truly honored that the world chose me to be her mama. Thank you world for planning for us to be together. I am forever grateful. xo

Popovers For Breakfast

Last night as I was catching up on blogs and email and Facebook I came across this recipe for popovers. It's from the blog of one of the mamas in our Girl Scout troop and it sounded so delicious that I knew that we had to make them for breakfast this morning. Grace and I worked together to get the batter all mixed up and then she did a super job getting it into the muffin tins. 

 Don't they look amazing?!

We split them open and put a dollop of raspberry jam on the inside. Truly delicious! We enjoyed these along with some yogurt (for the girls) and cottage cheese (for me) and juice. A lovely breakfast and definitely one that we'll be making again and again. xo

Wordless Wednesday::Before Breakfast

Sunday Morning

There's nothing like sharing a lovely Sunday morning meal together.

Saturday

Waffles (made by Dave) to start our day followed by a butterfly adventure this afternoon.  Sounds like a good way to spend a Saturday to me!
