I’ve always thought picnics were darling, but picnics in the early morning hours with fluffy pancakes and OJ are pure magic. While I’d love to to take full credit for this idea, it was in fact, my daughter who suggested it.
We woke up before sunrise, made a platter full of pancakes and links, cut up some fresh fruit and off we were. Luckily we live in an area that offers plenty of parks and picnic tables within reach, so finding a little nook to enjoy our picnic was easy.
It was as pleasing to our tummy as it was to our soul. I can’t explain it, but having pancakes and tea in nature… listening to the birds sing and having a few laughs was soothing. To both our souls. I’m not a perfect mom, I don’t try to pretend to be… but I do feel so lucky to be one. To share moments like this with Katia. These are the moments I hope she always holds dear in her heart. Goodness knows, having her to share these with make my life feel so full.
