“Good morning, good morning, I love you good morning.” This is a song that my mom sang to us and I find myself singing to Parker in the morning when he wakes up. He has the biggest smile on his face when he hears me sing it– that gummy grin is just the best first thing in the morning. I love that he wakes up happy.

He typically gives me a few minutes to get some things done before I have to pick him up. Which is typically poring myself a cup of coffee, of course I don’t actually get to drink it but at least there is an attempt at coffee.

We don’t have a microwave at my house, solely because it takes up too much space on our limited countertops. So my morning routine looks like pouring out cup after cup of lukewarm coffee to get a fresh cup which I hardly ever get to truly enjoy. I should just turn to iced coffee, but I love the taste of a hot cup of coffee in the morning. #momlife

Currently we are working on independence, I really don’t know what I’m doing but our little babe is attached to my hip all day and night errrr day and night. As I’m writing this post he’s squirming on the floor in his play gym, totally not amused because he wants me to pick him up… but after a night of him sleeping right on top of me because that’s the only way he would actually sleep last night, mama needs a few minutes of lone time. I feel like we’ve tried everything to get him to sleep in his crib at night and sometimes it works for a few hours and other times it’s an all out protest.

So I made these Mint Chocolate Chip Pancakes 100% in the blender with whole wheat flour, lots of peppermint extract and dark chocolate. And because I wanted to make green pancakes for St Patty’s Day minus green food coloring, spinach was tossed into the blender too. These spinach pancakes are a fun way to get green veggies in the morning at breakfast time. I swear there is zero spinachy taste, it just turns the pancakes a festive green color.
