Disclosure: I was provided free products from Kroger in hopes that I may write about them.
Is it just me or does life get ridiculously crazy busy this time of year? I feel like I haven’t had much time to even breathe! I literally feel like I am just kinda bouncing around – and I’m mostly just along for the ride!
This is one of those posts I meant to have posted clear back before Thanksgiving – and life just kinda happened. Some of my FB fans may remember me saying our daughter had to be taken to the ER (not a fun experience) …. and with such a large family, it seems like one person got sick, and it just keeps getting spread around and around and around. I can honestly say, I’m ready for Spring! LOL.
Oh – and I am missing the longer days and more sunshine! I know some of y’all feel the same way on that! #FoodBloggerProblems
I don’t know how things usually are at your house on Christmas morning, but for us, my kiddos have been anxiously waiting for awhile now – and the anticipation is at it’s all time high in these few days leading up to Christmas and on Christmas morning. I like to make a special breakfast on Christmas morning – and to tell you the truth, my kiddos could careless about breakfast or probably eating for that matter …. they just wanna open presents and play! LOL. I’m sure when I was a kid, I felt the same! 😉
The great thing about this Berry Stuffed toast is you can make it ahead, the kiddos can rip into those gifts, you can enjoy the merriment – and everyone can eat afterwards! Pretty snazzy, huh?! Let’s see that recipe, shall we?!
