A lick and a promise

That is the expression my mother would always use when she needed to do something quickly and come back later.

I spent the morning at the homeschooling co-op, came home to bake a coffee cake (Anna's recipe but I'm experimenting with orange juice instead of milk and the fruit is a package of frozen cranberries).

I am rather fatigued after dropping my son off for his 9:00 class and perusing lots of magazines at Barnes & Noble until it was time to return to teach my 10:00 class, then being in the nursery with the babies until noon. I actually volunteered to do the latter each co-op for an hour, just to chat with young moms and get my "baby fix". So...I need to rest for awhile!

I will give a thumbs up to three magazines that are out now. I already purchased the latest Tea Time, which has an Easter theme. This morning I went through the March/April issues of both Southern Lady and Paula Deen and both are full of great tea time recipes as well as beautiful pictures. Southern Lady has a tea time theme and Paula Deen has (if I remember) one article about tea time but many about Spring showers (bridal showers, baby showers, etc.) which are pretty much the same type of food.

My daughter likes the Spring issues of decorating magazines because they tend to have more of the style and colors she likes. I like the food magazines in Spring!
