Oh what a day well spent! Today, my son and I woke up bright and early to celebrate his four-month birthday with a cucumber mango smoothie for mommy, nursing for him, and a couple episodes of Disney’s Mickey Mouse clubhouse to boot. While he dozed off into a lactose coma and I finished my delicious homemade smoothie, I silently discovered how much I miss the simple entertaining shows that taught me to share, count, help, and dance along just because. Really! When did murdering wives, crime scenes, and scary hospitals become necessary quality TV?  All in all I look forward to next few years of entertainment I’ll enjoy with my son.

 The day continued in typical fashion his lessons, playtime, my housework, errands, replacing a thermostat. The last one a solid line on a list of things to do this month. And then there was dinner. Oh, dinner! Inspired by some brie left over from the holidays. I pulled out a roll of phyllo dough and stuffed it salmon, spinach, and the brie. Oh, my! We served it with a side of brown rice and acorn squash. I'm still smiling as I type this and I think I'm going to say goodnight so, that I can "put the leftovers away".
