There is nothing better than spending time with my family. Our kids make Greg and I so proud, and we are the textbook grandparents. Do not ask us about our grandbaby if you do not want us to pull out our phones and show you many photos or videos.
Wes and Savannah have both made plans for Mother’s Day. Wes is grilling steaks, and Savannah has planned a fun girl’s day, starting with brunch and then shopping.
When my kids were small, Greg let them help with Mother’s Day breakfast. We may have tried the breakfast in bed thing once or twice, but to be honest, that’s a little messy for me.
If you want an easy recipe for the kiddos to help out with, these oatmeal waffles are perfect! Just pull up a chair and let them pour, measure or stir. Even the younger kids can watch for the green light on the waffle maker. Then, they will beam with pride when they serve those waffles to mommy.
These waffles are exceptional, topped with real butter, warmed maple syrup, fresh fruit, and sprinkled with powdered sugar and cinnamon.
