We don't have kids yet, but one thing we do that we plan to continue is scheduling quality time. We try to limit our activities and such and make sure that we have quality time several times throughout the week, and at least one day that's family day. It really helps keep us close and communicating. Dianas last blog post..Happy Birthday to Me!

I love that picture of your son. He seems like such a joyful kid. And those muffins are a perfect birthday treat. I agree about simplfying and slowing down! Annes last blog post..It's Not Christmas Until Someone Is Offended

His gift should be shipping soon. With all the craziness and Kaden’s party I am really far behind!
Anyway, I love that the muffins brought smiles to their faces. I can’t believe how fast time goes until you have kids!!!

Those muffins look perfect for a birthday. You're right about how easy it can be to please kids. That's one of the things that's so wonderful about them. I love the way they express their feelings without reserve. When I was little I loved going on nature walks with my parents or godparents (who lived in the same house as us). Also very special to be taken out for tea when I was a bit older (which is what I wrote about it my latest post!). Simplicity sounds like a good goal for this year.

Did you find that the cinnamon/sugar made the muffin tops moist after a day? I made a pumpkin muffin recipe this past fall, and it called for a similar topping. But the muffins got a bit ‘soggy’ (not really soggy, but moist) and didnt keep as well. The first day, the topping with nice and crunchy and delicious, but it all went downhill after that… It was unfortunate.

Love the muffins! YOur resolution to not run around so much and attend to the kids..is sooo mine resolution as well. I need to stop and smell the roses as much as I can and stop worrying about the laundry..it can wait, but the kids getting older does not! leslies last blog post..Reese's Cake with Peanut Butter Frosting

Happy Birthday to your baby! I just read your article and I think it's great. So many times we have delusions of grandeur about how our life is going to be. I often felt like I'd have all of those picture perfect moments shown on the news about troops coming home... wonderful happy times. It's not always like that. There's "getting to know you again" and giving up power and control of the household stuff because the man is home again. I wish life was like a fairy tale book sometimes, but in all honesty I wouldn't trade my life for anything. ~Cat The Cat's Pajamass last blog post..Barefoot! Banana Sour Cream Pancakes

The look on your son's face is just priceless! Today is my 25th birthday and it's made me very nostalgic for my previous birthdays (including my tenth, when I cried because I was getting "too old.") LOL. I'm glad you had a great time celebrating as a family. Mariss last blog post..Spicy Chicken Cornbread Chili

I remember more popcorn than I've been making, and it never came from a bag. I think we'll do some more of that this year. Also we had lots of people over often. As much as I like to invite friends, I didn't do nearly enough of that this year. My goal will be to have a get together at least once a month. Maybe I can learn how to increase the tempo once I get into the swing of it again. Happy birthday to Jacob! Shalees last blog post..So What Happened To Thursday?

Love the toothless pic! Happy Birthday to Jacob! I often have trouble remembering to have fun with my family because I’m always consumed with everything else that a mom has to do. This past year I decided to start a tradition where, on your birthday, you can have whatever you want for breakfast. When my oldest turned 7 in October, he chose to have ice cream so ice cream is what he got. It was so fun! He couldn’t believe he got to have ice cream for breakfast so the whole time, he just laughed and laughed. (just like your Jacob). So beyond the presents & everything else, that’s the one thing he remembers. When my twins turned 4, they chose a regular breakfast – I don’t think they quite get it but we’ll definetely keep going with it because I think it’s a great family memory to have. Thanks for the cookie recipe, I’m going to make them today!

A very happy birthday to Jacob! It is great to appreciate the little things. I remember spending an awful lot of time at various parks around our city growing up. We must have gone every week on top of all the other after-school activities. I have no idea how my mom kept up her energy for all of that (I can barely keep up with my one 1yo!).
