Peanut Butter and Jelly Monkey Bread Recipe

Peanut butter and jelly (that's "Burr-je-yi" in Jack-speak) is a big hit at my house. He's asked for it for breakfast more than once, so when I came across this recipe on Picky Palate the other day, I decided this was the perfect opportunity to grant his wish (and mine, for that matter - I could live on the stuff myself!) It looked easy, not to mention delicious, and ended up being both. I put it together this morning in about 15 minutes, and I'm a little on the slow side when it comes to cooking. Then I baked it in an 8x8 baking dish instead of a skillet. It smelled great and tasted even better. Jack took one bite and said, "Mmm...that's goood!"

Put a pin in it

Now, why can't I be this clever?

Tall as a giraffe

Yesterday the boys and I took advantage of the warm sunny afternoon and headed over to downtown McKinney. I ducked into one of my favorite shops, Ambrosia, and headed straight for their little baby section. I found this adorable board book that folds out into a growth chart.

I've been on the hunt for a growth chart for a while now. I love that this one folds up into a book, which will make it much easier to store as a keepsake when it's no longer on the wall. If you can't make it over to McKinney (and you should!), you can find it online here.

 

Mouse in the House

I've been eyeing this print for a while now. I think it would look so perfect above the baby's crib. It was made from one of Famille Summerbelle's lovely paper cuts. Such intricate work, and there's actually a little mouse hiding in there somewhere!

I've long been a fan of their work - ever since I first laid eyes on her incredible paper cut world map.

Come 'n get it!

I found this clever divided plate by Din Din, and I'm thinking it's a must for my little Jack. He's SO into anything with wheels right now, and it just might help him down a few extra peas at dinner time! The plate is stainless steel, so no need to worry about all the toxic stuff we find in plastic these days. Get it here.
