oh my goodness pancakes

As I wait for the perfect spray-painting conditions, I shall share a new (to me!) breakfast secret: pancakes with additives.

This morning, as I was whipping up the regular old pancake batter (which is awesome on its own!), I had the hankerin' to fill my girls' tummies with more healthiness without adding more items on their plate to eat. So I mashed a banana into the batter and tossed in a handful of rolled oats. Oh, I dribbled in a little vanilla, too, because I felt like it. Why haven't I done this before?? They gobbled them up and kept asking for more!

Watch out, my girls. Mommy's gonna start hiding stuff in your foods more often!

Do any of you have some awesome hiding-good-stuff-in-regular-food secrets? Anything in mac-and-cheese would be wondrous...

windy, much?

It's been roughly a week, now, since I acquired an empty wood frame, an oval mirror (yes! for above my dresser), and a vintage wooden high chair. (Thank you, Craigslist & a garage sale.) I have a lot of painting on my to-do list, and I can hardly wait to get to it!

You can expect full posts of each project soon. Right now I'm just trying to defy the high winds and spray some paint anyway.
