As a parent of two young children, my weekend mornings begin just as early as my work week…
At 6 am, I hear the first drip of the coffee machine followed by the sound of my daughter’s door opening. And once I’ve downed my first 2 cups of Joe, my mind starts racing with ideas for morning activities. When the idea of changing out of my PJ’s to head out into the Boston cold is just too much to take, I dig thru my pantry and strategize how I’m going to pretend that my healthful gluten-free muffins are going to be sold as ‘princess fairy cupcakes’ to my 3 ½-year-old. Word to the wiss- a little sprinkle dusting works like a charm!
