(*and Darren's)

People often comment on the resemblance between Sarah and me. While I don't always see it, her expression of anticipatory sugary glee in this picture is just like her Mama's.

Chiming in with wonderful Angie's Wordful Wednesday on Seven Clown Circus, too this week!
(She's a sweetie with a cake theme this week...how can I resist?)

Pieces of Presidential Trivia...

...courtesy of Darren.

Composed 110+ laws.

Enjoys barbeque.*


Much like his Doris Kearns Goodwin-wannabe sister, Darren has a penchant for presidential history. After surprising him with a fandeck of trivia tidbits, he's promised me an executive office fact of the day for the foreseeable future.

Do believe my He-Twin is en route to a Mastery Moment.

[*Not intended as a negative indication of underachievement. Even though Clinton wasn't my personal favorite commander in chief, Darren appreciated the fact President Clinton enjoys the BBQ.]

Makes My Monday: The Muffin Man

With snowfall and ice cancelling church the second Sunday in a row, we had the time to bake up a batch of Cinnamon Doughnut muffins---recipe courtesy of one of my favorite bloggers, Noble Pig.

Darren consumed six. Do you know the muffin man? I do---I birthed him.

His pleasure with a new morning meal Makes My Monday.
