In observance of this very important day, I got up at 6am to make my hubby a Blueberry Pancake Breakfast.
To be honest with you, I had never made pancakes from scratch (shhh!). In the past I always used store-bought pancake mixes, but since today is a special day, I thought I would make them from scratch. I found a recipe online but tweaked it a little, instead of milk - I used vanilla soy, and then also added some vanilla coffee creamer, and I used a tablespoon less sugar than the recipe called for since I had added in vanilla creamer (which tends to be really sweet on it's own).
All day yesterday was imagining the perfect pancakes I would make today. Of course I imagined Martha-Stewart-worthy disks of pure goodness. But today revealed the truth. While the pancakes tasted great, they didn't look as picture-perfect as I would have hoped.
So if you haven't had blueberry pancakes for breakfast today, it's not too late to celebrate with us! Have them for lunch or dinner, or dessert tonight. Happy Blueberry Pancake Day!
And in addition to making yourself some pancakes (here's the Something Nice on the side I am referring to in this post's title), go check out Melissa's site Operation Nice. It's a lovely site all about making the world a little brighter. I found a story that I thought was DEFINITELY a world-brightener and sent it to her, and she mentioned it on her site today. Thanks, Melissa!
And if you haven't yet, only if you like my textile, please remember to vote for my fabric design "Field Ornate" (see below post if you haven't seen what it looks like)!

I simply love the desgin of your website. (And want you do do something with mine) I love your pictures and your angles and the colors...although the gray on white is a bit hard to read.
Anyway, reading your blog makes me happy! :) Keep it up!
Thanks Maggi! I am glad you like my blog! I love yours too! I really wish I was still in Cali and you and me could go on adventures together and blog all about it.
Thanks for the tip on the grey. I am gonna change that right now.
Aww, I wish we were closer as well. But we're internet friends and this day and age that means a lot! All my love!
Oh well, on my next visit back home.
I remember when I first met you. Steve was telling us all about this great gal called Maggi, and we met you at some Southern Style Restaurant in Victorville or Apple Valley and I remember thinking that I couldn't imagine a better match for Steve than you!
Yay now I have a new blog to read :)
the creamer thing cracks me up because I don't use sugar in my tea or coffee I only use creamer... it's the best in tea!!!
I wish I had know about today. Blueberry pancakes are my husband's favorite. I think we might eat some for breakfast this weekend ... a belated celebration.
Yummy! And I LOVE the picture of the blueberries! Beautiful!
