In this post, I felt it appropriate to let my children do the writing. I dug through 14 years worth of art projects and report cards to find two Mother’s Day presents/cards that touched my heart above the rest.

My marvelous Mom!
Her name is Liz.
I love it when my Mom cooks artichokes and buys ugio (yugio) cards!
The most special thing about my Mom is she loves me.
Please hang this up
So all can see
How very much you mean to me.
Love,
Jake

I Am
I am never afraid when you are with me
I wonder what you thought I would look like
When I was in your tummy
I see you loving me
I hear your tears of happy hitting the floor
I want you to be happy all the time
I am never afraid when you are with me
I pretend you are a daisy
I feel happy when you are with me
I touch your soft skin and beautiful hair
I worry about you when you cry
I cry when when I get hurt and you help me
I am never afraid when you are with me
I understand when you are mad
I should leave you alone
I say that you are great
I dream about you kissing and hugging me
I try to hug and kiss you every day
I am never afraid when you are with me
I hope you have a sweet day including this wonderful recipe for whole grain pancakes with blueberry maple syrup. These pancakes were featured on epicurious.com and use a whole grain pancake mix for its base. It’s doctored up with wonderful additions like cinnamon, buttermilk and blueberries. I believe they’re easy enough for dads and kids to make, and if you’re lucky you’ll eat them in bed. I’ve also included a link to a quick and cheap latte to accompany your breakfast.
