Had a lovely Mother’s day…. I woke up to sophia and her grocery shopping cart on top of me. hehe. daddy said she wanted to give it to mama..she was trying to carry it up the stairs to me (sleeping in)

The hubby kicked butt in the present department….he randomly got me flowers a few days before..and then bought me a quesadilla maker?!!! it’s kinda an inside joke for us because that’s like all i ate when i was pregnant with sophia and this pregnancy is similar. we already tried it out.. delicious. much easier/faster when it cooks both sides at the same time! 
ta daaaaa. the quesadilla maker…..
and my husband’s booty.
 because when i said let me take a photo of you with my present this is what i got. 
i warned him this was going up. thats what you get….haha.
it was a little chilly today…so i made an apple crisp. i halved the recipe so i wouldn’t be tempted to eat the whole pan myself. the thing i love most about an apple crisp..i don’t feel guilty at alllllll about eating it for breakfast. hehe. here’s the recipe i posted with photos a while back. it’s a keeper. tried and true deliciousness!!

i’m linking up to these parties today!!

    Natalie I hope you had a lovely Mothers day!~ I loved your post, wish they had those body suits when I was pregnant….they look flattering and suck in the cellulite at least!

    We have that quesadilla maker too! I think we have only used it once or twice…maybe we should dig it out again.

    That quesadilla maker was quite the popular Christmas gift. My mom gave my dad one, my brother in law gave my sister one, and I gave my husband one.
