Daylight Savings, friend or foe?

Someone at work brought up Daylight Savings yesterday, and a collective groan filled from the room. I don't know about you, but while I'm bummed about losing an hour of sleep - although I tend to waste many of those hours on things other than sleep - I love the longer days.

It's downright sad to drive home as the sun's going down. Where's my playtime, Old Man Winter? Huh?! Ok, ok, I'm calm. But I do adore the sunshine; my day just feels over when it gets dark.

What do you think?

Good morning, darling.

I absolutely love breakfast, especially on lazy mornings. There's something about the morning; it's quiet, the light is soft, the world is slowly waking, rubbing the sleep from its eyes.

My guilty pleasure? Eating my breakfast in bed. Yes, I know. Crumbs, stains, dribbles, the horror! But I do. It's my way of inviting the morning to stay; stretching the minutes as far as they'll go. Indulgently sipping my coffee and nibbling on fruit and eggs, or pancakes, or fig and almond oatmeal, or pan toast, or...oh, the possibilities. Have I mentioned I love me some breakfast? 

Sadly, this only occurs on weekends or holidays. I suppose if I actually woke up to my alarm instead of giving the snooze button far too much attention, it might be possible.

Speaking of breakfast, I tried out Deb's recipes for braided lemon bread, perfect blueberry muffins (I seriously considered eating the entire batch of batter and not telling anyone about them - seriously), and winter fruit salad for a Valentine's Day brunch I hosted.

They were all amazing and turned out perfect. AND I've never baked from scratch, ever - without my expert mother carefully watching and guiding me, that is. Can I just say, yum, yum, YUUUUUM. I'm definitely not one of those people who sneer at, well, just about any food. That list is shockingly small. So, moving on from my inappropriate love of all things edible, check out Deb's Smitten Kitchen blog immediately. You will be in foodie heaven.

Any recipes or morning habits to share with me? I'd love to hear.

Have a sweet week! xoxo
