Nutella & Go! At Walmart!

I have found a new addiction - nutella & go! I knew I loved nutella but did they really need to seal the deal and make these fabulous little to go snacks?? Oh my! So yummy!

Picked some up after spying them in the check out aisle at Walmart for my husband and I's stockings for Christmas and they never made it that far! Oops!

Santa Pancake Attempt

So I always get a little too excited about ideas like Santa Pancakes and end up forgetting very important elements like say....spraying the pans with Pam before trying to make said santa pancakes. Or only having one good squirt bottle for the colored batter so for the rest I am scrambling for any sort of squeezy receptacle - i.e. piping tips and frosting bags, even my easy accent decorator from Pampered Chef.

Really you need just plain old condiment squirt bottles - and I have three but could only find one. At least I thought I had three - maybe not. I dunno now.

So anywho - one pancake out of like 6 turned out ok. And by "ok" I mean that the whipped cream hid all the flaws and made it look decent. Haha!

Here's evidence of the other not so cutsey pancakes...by the end I was just making round pancakes with swirled colored batter - looked like Christmas Pancakes Gone Crazy - sadly I didn't take a picture of those before my hubby ate them. :)

Still - overall - a tasty treat for Christmas morning memories!

Here is how I thought they would turn out in my head...well, where my inspiration came from anyways: http://jennipriceillustration.blogspot.com/2011/12/lunchbox-santa.html

Christmas Morning Magic

Oh wow! The Christmases with a little one keep getting better and better! So exciting to watch her eyes light up! Got to love Christmas morning magic! Christmas is a little different at 14 months than at 2 months old! Ha! :)

Merry Christmas Everyone!

It is that time of year again! How have I gotten this far behind in posting on my blog? Oy veh!

“At RIE we encourage parents to learn to quiet down, to sit peacefully, to observe and to allow babies to be real. …And as we get sensitized and skilled in the art of observing, we may try the greatest challenge: to look inside – to see, observe and learn about ourselves.” -Gerber
