Hey y'all, I'm Danielle - the crazy behind this blog, where I share my creative life adventures as I survive life as a momma of 5 superheroes & wife to my best friend & fellow nerd.

Don’t you just love it when you make a new thing, and everyone is happy with it? It doesn’t happen often that 6 out of 6 in our household all agree about a meal, but occasionally I hit it right on the mark. This is one of those! I was so glad when every single person was asking for more, especially since breakfast is such an important meal. These were so easy to make, too – double bonus!!!

My little girl LOVED lemon poppyseed muffins, so I am definitely trying these. They look simple and GOOD! Thanks for sharing.
Oooh, perfect! At first my kids looked at them and were like ‘is that a bug?’ – so I had to actually show them the container of poppy seeds. After that they devoured them Lol
They sounds so good, and they look even better. Thanks so much for the recipe.
