My head is spinning

Though February is the shortest month, it sure does pack a punch when it comes to keeping me busy! Valentine's Day and birthday celebrations are keeping me hopping right now, not to mention my daughter's school activities and house guests who will soon be arriving. So often I wish for winter days to move more quickly, but right now I'd be happy to have a little extra time.

I'd like to say there's been a lot of knitting, but it isn't so. Baking seems to dominate my days right now, though I finally finished the socks for my Mom that I've been working on since last summer. Mom was here a couple of weeks ago and I was able to present them to her. She immediately modeled them for me and wore them happily the rest of the day.



As for baking, there have been healthy and not-so-healthy goodies appearing on my table.





Surprisingly, I've made the healthier granola bars several times in the past month. Usually I go for the more decadent chocolate treats, but these can pass for breakfast with a good cup of coffee. If you want to give either of these a try, click on the photos and you can find the recipe links.

Last, but not least, my lovely daughter turn 16 at the end of the month. And you know what that means.



Yes, folks, another driver in the family. It's a little nerve-wracking and exciting all at the same time. She's still working on her driving hours but I know she's going to be fine on the road. I may lose a little more sleep when she's out alone, but that's a Mom's job, right? (Wish both of us luck on this new adventure!)
