Hot Microwavable Coffee Mug Cakes Via P&Geveryday #PGeveryday #sponsored

I'm a busy mom with a tween, a teen and my own booming business to run. So sometimes easy is key. The internet is an invaluable resource, but it's easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer quantity of information out there! That's why when P&Geveryday™ reached out to me to do a feature, I was happy to oblige. I've been a member of their site since November of 2011.



P&Geveryday™ is committed to making every day just a little easier by helping you achieve a life full of rewarding moments every day. The site aims to inspire, support and empower you to unlock the extraordinary potential in your everyday life.



I went on today and found these adorable Coffee Mug Cakes that are easy to make and look great. Click here for the recipe!

I'm going to suggest them to my favorite young chefs. Then I'm crossing my fingers for a breakfast in bed for this Fourth of July weekend with a coffee cake or muffin version. I'd also be thrilled with a cake version to go with the evening's fireworks!

From the time they were tots, my kids have loved to play "Robot Restaurant" and bring us breakfast in bed... complete with the bill (tip expected). Now that they're 11 & 13, the food can be quite good at "The Robot Cafe". The kids design their own menus (listings and art) and they create gorgeous place settings, so it's well worth the "bill" to see them being so creative together. 

P&Geveryday™ is about listening to what you truly need and sharing resourceful ideas, advice and products to make it easy for you to enjoy life ... every day.

Best Kids Ever-Cinnamon Butterfly Toast With a Moshling On Top



Look what my creative kids brought me--breakfast in bed...with flair!!

I've been fighting off the crudly yuck I nursed Sage through last week.   Finally Sunday morning I crashed and told the kids I needed to sleep in, take some Airborne, something for congestion, and a couple pieces of toast and stay in bed till our theatre date at 1pm.   When I made my way into the kitchen to make a bit of toast and grab meds, my kids told me to go back to bed and they'd take care of me.  Here's what they showed up with.   I was super surprised and impressed.



This beautiful cinnamon butterfly beat the heck out of the toast I was going to make myself!   (note the yellow decongestant tab in the center--camouflaged among a packet of Smarties).



Sage even shared her beloved, new Moshling, Scarlett O'Haira, figurine from ChiTAG!   She's a prototype--not even available yet and a greatly prized gift from Betsy, Sr. Product Creative Manager for Mind Candy and the creative mastermind behind the mind blowing Moshling Dress that graced the runway at playCHIC.   I felt soooo much better after that rockin' breakfast.

It was a crazy busy five days.   Between writing full time and covering adult bands and theatre for ChiIL Live Shows and family fun for ChiIL Mama, I had a full plate.   One of the best things about urban living is having too many options.   Sometimes, though, it makes for a full schedule!
