I love this time of the year when we start to see fresh berries in the market again! We whipped up some Blackberry Honey Butter this weekend that made our waffles taste delicious and look beautiful.

He wanted to go outside in the snow with the rest of the boys so badly! And I wanted to squeeze those stubby chubby legs of his so badly!

When you live in a house of all boys, a cement truck is as close as you can get to a tea pot when mom decides she wants to have a tea party.

I seriously cannot get my head around the fact that Lent is here. To be honest, I feel a little guilty making my mom's Lentil & Swiss Chard Soup for dinner during Lent because it is just so delicious.

Linking up with Like Mother Like Daughter today:
You better give those chubby legs a gentle squeeze now because they grow up so fast!
ReplyDeletePrecious. Precious. Precious.
ReplyDeleteI love how you spend your days!
LOVE your funny! My only daughter got a toy hair kit once with a little plastic hair dryer in pink. The boys immediately turned it into a ray gun! Boys are so kooky but they are also so sweet to their moms...tea in a dump truck? Not everyone can boast of that!
ReplyDeleteOh I'm just stealing all of your ideas this week Girlie!! That blackberry honey butter is SCREAMING my name - and I'm definitely making waffles soon, just to have some of that butter. Lol!!
ReplyDeleteI love the cement truck teapot!! Gave me a giggle...you need to write that down in a memory book. Mom's of boys do need to improvise sometimes. ;)
And those sweet chubby legs standing in the door saying "me too" - is there any moment more precious. Don't you just want to freeze certain moments in time? ::sigh::
Blessings Sweetie! xoxo
I'd love the recipe for that lentil and swiss chard soup. It does look really good, and I always struggle during lent because I am either allergic to or detest all fish...
ReplyDeleteBlackberry honey gutter sounds wonderful. I make honey butter often but have not thought to add fruit.
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a cozy day!
There truly is something so simple and beautiful about soup and bread, thank you for inspiring me with Lenten cooking! God Bless
ReplyDeleteOh, that blackberry butter looks so delicious. As does the soup!
