Family Fun and Peabody’s Snickerdoodle Muffins

  • Facebook

  • Yummly

I admit it… I’m a little slow on the whole New Year’s Resolutions thing. We have been so busy since Christmas that I feel like the New Year came upon us without giving me the chance to really reflect on what I want to accomplish this year.  I have already mentioned that for our household, 2009 is going to be a year for Simplicity. That is my main goal, but I have some other smaller things that are really important to me as well.

My oldest kiddo, Jacob, turned 7 yesterday (which in itself is unbelievable to me… my baby is already 7 years old!). For his birthday he wanted “muffins with sprinkles”. When I asked him what kind of muffins he wanted he said, “Those kind that have cinnamon sugar on them!”. I knew immediately that he was talking about Peabody’s very indulgent Snickerdoodle Muffins. Snickerdoodle Muffins are very worthy of a special occasion, like a 7th birthday!

I got up and made the muffins in the morning, put some spreadable butter on top, added some sprinkles and a candle just for fun. We had so much fun doing a quick early morning birthday celebration before school!

It was during our impromptu birthday celebration yesterday morning that I watched the joy on the face of my kids as we did something a little out of the ordinary and unexpected. Something as simple as having muffins with sprinkles brought smiles and laughter galore. It dawned on my how easy it is to please children, and how often I do not take advantage of that.

With that revelation, I’ve determined that another goal of mine for this year, and beyond, is to remember to have fun with my family. We need to stop rushing around so much and I need to plan more fun little activities for us to do. They are all at an age where it takes so little to please them… I need to maximize that the best that I can!

What are some of the fun little things you do with your family or that you remember your parents doing with you when you grew up?

For Peabody’s recipe, head over to her blog. The recipe can be found HERE.

Also, don’t forget to check out my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe at the Right@Home website!

Happy Belated New Year. I appreciate each and every one of you and I hope that 2009 is full of wonderful things for you!

    When the kids were younger, we’d go to the duck pond to feed the ducks.

    We’d camp out in the living room, eating popcorn and smores.

    We took turns laying down on bulletin board paper to outline ourselves, and then draw and color in details.

    We (still) have a word of the week that each time it gets used we all high five each other. (great vocabulary builder) This week’s word is: ingratiate.

    My kids have made me such a better person!
    Enjoy them while they are young mine are now 17 a nd 18. And they still love their momma.

    Gotta try the muffins!

    We all love that muffin recipe, they’re so good. What we love to do with the kids is have a late breakfast/early lunch and call it a brunch. I just put a nice tablecloth and fruit platters, cheeses, cinnamon rolls or muffins and whatever goodies they like on the table and they are so happy! You’re so right, though, we don’t do enough fun stuff with the kids. We get caught up in routine so much, we forget. Thanks for reminding me how easy it is to have fun! 🙂 Happy belated Birthday to Jacob!

    The muffins look terrific,I think my kids will like them too, and they are all grown( in their 20’s). Simple pleasures can be used to make wonderful memories.Sometimes when the weather was bad and they couldn’t go outside, I’d put a sheet on the floor in the living room and we’d have a ‘picnic lunch’and they loved it. One morning I realized I was low on breakfast ingredients(I needed to go to the store),but I could make biscuts. I decided to make cinnamon biscuts,so I rolled the dough out, added sugar and cinnamon, and made them like rolls. My kids loved them and couldn’t belive I’d made cinnamon rolls for breakfast!Also, my kids helping in the garden was fun.Enjoy your children and make memories with them.We only have a few years while they are home!

    I need to remember that, too…more fun!

    My family always celebrated half-birthdays. Not with presents, but we always got HALF a cake…mine fell in the spring and I took it to school…SO fun! I remember my mom singing “a very merry un-birthday to you, to you” from Alice and Wonderland. I’ve continued this with my son…it is fun!

    A very happy birthday to Jacob! It is great to appreciate the little things. I remember spending an awful lot of time at various parks around our city growing up. We must have gone every week on top of all the other after-school activities. I have no idea how my mom kept up her energy for all of that (I can barely keep up with my one 1yo!).

    Love the toothless pic! Happy Birthday to Jacob! I often have trouble remembering to have fun with my family because I’m always consumed with everything else that a mom has to do. This past year I decided to start a tradition where, on your birthday, you can have whatever you want for breakfast. When my oldest turned 7 in October, he chose to have ice cream so ice cream is what he got. It was so fun! He couldn’t believe he got to have ice cream for breakfast so the whole time, he just laughed and laughed. (just like your Jacob). So beyond the presents & everything else, that’s the one thing he remembers. When my twins turned 4, they chose a regular breakfast – I don’t think they quite get it but we’ll definetely keep going with it because I think it’s a great family memory to have. Thanks for the cookie recipe, I’m going to make them today!

    The look on your son’s face is just priceless! Today is my 25th birthday and it’s made me very nostalgic for my previous birthdays (including my tenth, when I cried because I was getting “too old.”) LOL. I’m glad you had a great time celebrating as a family.

    I remember more popcorn than I’ve been making, and it never came from a bag. I think we’ll do some more of that this year.

    Also we had lots of people over often. As much as I like to invite friends, I didn’t do nearly enough of that this year. My goal will be to have a get together at least once a month. Maybe I can learn how to increase the tempo once I get into the swing of it again.

    Happy birthday to Jacob!

    Happy Birthday to your baby! I just read your article and I think it’s great. So many times we have delusions of grandeur about how our life is going to be. I often felt like I’d have all of those picture perfect moments shown on the news about troops coming home… wonderful happy times. It’s not always like that. There’s “getting to know you again” and giving up power and control of the household stuff because the man is home again. I wish life was like a fairy tale book sometimes, but in all honesty I wouldn’t trade my life for anything.

    Did you find that the cinnamon/sugar made the muffin tops moist after a day? I made a pumpkin muffin recipe this past fall, and it called for a similar topping. But the muffins got a bit ‘soggy’ (not really soggy, but moist) and didnt keep as well. The first day, the topping with nice and crunchy and delicious, but it all went downhill after that… It was unfortunate.

    Those muffins look perfect for a birthday. You’re right about how easy it can be to please kids. That’s one of the things that’s so wonderful about them. I love the way they express their feelings without reserve.

    When I was little I loved going on nature walks with my parents or godparents (who lived in the same house as us). Also very special to be taken out for tea when I was a bit older (which is what I wrote about it my latest post!).

    Simplicity sounds like a good goal for this year.

    We don’t have kids yet, but one thing we do that we plan to continue is scheduling quality time. We try to limit our activities and such and make sure that we have quality time several times throughout the week, and at least one day that’s family day. It really helps keep us close and communicating.

New ink inspired by a quote in my friend @andiemmitchell amazing memoir “It Was Me All Along”. 

I tend to be an all or nothing person and look at long term and get overwhelmed instead of just taking things one day at a time. I’ve said her quote to myself multiple times a day for years. Now I’ll have a permanent reminder. 

The full quote: “Can you do it today? Can you make it through today without bingeing? Just today, and tomorrow we’ll reconsider?”

I need to go back and get a couple missed spots filled in but I love it. Thanks Rob at @irezumitattookc 🎉

Here’s a fun fact I heard on the radio several years ago…October 5th is the most popular day to be born (9 months prior is New Years Eve-ish). 🎉 

Happy birthday to all my many many birthday twins out there! It’s the big 4-8 for me…although this past year as a Covid long hauler I feel like I’ve aged 20 years in the past 1. But things are looking up! I’m excited for the next 365 days of my life. I’m blessed and so thankful to still be here, chugging along.

This picture is from last week when @kellykdoyle and I were visiting colleges in Colorado. If I have any followers with ties to @coloradostateuniversity or @cuboulder I’d love to chat!

I love being a parent of teens...but I miss the days of parenting kids who loved going to school, who didn't struggle with major anxiety, who loved their bodies, and were confident about how they looked. I miss pre-covid days where lunch wasn't distanced, kids had the opportunity to connect and socialize at school, where mask-wearing wasn't even a topic, let alone one that divides. 

The past 2 years have changed my kids. They have gained so many positive things, but they've also gained a new kind of anxiety that wasn't there before. And I hate it for them. They've seen first hand how long haul covid has changed our family. They've seen the selfishness of others in ways they haven't seen before. They've had to grow up faster, worry about things they shouldn't have to worry about, and learn the hard way how this world can really be. And it hurts my heart for them. 

I have a new senior, sophomore and 6th grader here at home. Missing my sophomore in college a ton. I hope the world is kind to them and they are kind to the world. I want nothing more than for them to be happy and to be surrounded by good people who love and accept them for who they are and who also push them to live a full, rich and happy life. I pray every day for them - and for your kids...and pray that we are all raising a generation of empathetic and kind changemakers.

Can’t believe we’re doing the college tour thing already with my second baby! 

So question for any of you who sent your kids to out of state schools or went to out of state schools...how did you do it? She wants to get the heck out of Kansas (I’d like to go with her!). We have money saved, she’ll most likely get a scholarship or two, she’s paying and has money saved as well...but even with that out of state tuition is a beast of an amount. So, did you just assume that student loans were going to be part of that life? And is that worth it to give your kids a shot at a new life outside of your home state? I wish I would have left Kansas for university, and have been here since I was born 😩. I want different for her if that’s what she wants but also just don’t have any experience with how people do out of state college! Any tips?

I is for Inspiration!
.
The “long haul” effects of having Covid back in December are really presenting themselves lately. The continuous persistent headaches are taking a toll and the connection between the brain fog and word retrieval function of my brain has been extra challenging. I had no idea a couple months out, the cognitive effects would still be hanging around.
.
With that said, when I get a burst of inspiration I’m grabbing on for dear life. I made our favorite chocolate chip cookies recipe yesterday and felt the desire to update the blog post photos from 2007! We make these cookies all the time, so I’m not sure why it’s taken me so many years to give that poor post some new photos.
.
If you’re interested in the recipe you can find the link currently in my profile. Enjoy!!

G is for...oh so grateful!

I flew to South Texas yesterday to visit my parents whom I haven’t seen in 2 years. They live around 17 hours away from us. We typical get to see each other a few times a year but with the pandemic and other health issues it just wasn’t able to happen and I’ve missed them soooo much.

Grateful to have had COVID last month. Although it was not at all fun, it gave me the antibodies to make this trip possible. My dad is having surgery tomorrow so I’m helping with my mom so my dad can recover without having to worry about her.

Kansas is enjoying frigid temperatures and snow. I picked a great week to head south.

This time of year especially, food photography (and I guess all photography actually) is a tug of war with time and light. I had planned on making and photographing a delicious pasta recipe, but my grocery delivery ran a couple of hours late because of snowstorm. So, at the eleventh hour I decided to make a cake...that took over an hour to bake and I had about 90 minutes of natural light left...leaving me with about 30 minutes of ok light to work with.

Anyway, this wouldn't work for a client shoot because the cake, although delicious, didn't turn out looking so great. But it will work great for today's F photo for the @kimklassen_innercircle A-Z photo project:) Lemon Citrus Yogurt Cake from this weeks @cabotcheese newsletter. So good!
