To celebrate Groundhog day today, S and I made 3D See-A-Shadow breakfast stacks, then we took them outside to see if we saw a shadow. We sure did, but Punxsutawney Phil didn’t. Who is right? I guess we’ll just have to wait until spring to see. These were so easy and fun, and she gobbled them up! Find out how to make your own Groundhog Day See-A-Shadow Breakfast Stacks here.
Valentines Day Raspberry Mint Sugar Hearts
How sweet are these little sugar hearts? My swell sister-in-law whipped them up and is sharing a tute with us on how to make ’em for our little sweeties. My SIL, Stevee, is married to my husband’s identical twin, mom to my sweet little niecey JoJo, resident expert mom of Nashville, and you can catch her blogging about her current pregnancy (a boy this time!) at Babble’s Being Pregnant. Also, she’s ridic gorg, I mean, really…
These sugar hearts are so much easier to make than I thought they would be, and how sweet for a little Valentines Day tea party? Take it away Stevee!

Scone Sweet Scone
Heart-shaped scones are an easy-peasy Valentines Day breakfast treat (or really an any day, anytime treat). Many Prudent Mamas are obsessed with the recipe Jacinda posted last year for Kevin’s Famous Scones. I used to dislike scones (because I was used to coffee-shop-chain, dry, day-old-biscuit tasting suckers), but these are moist and flavorful, and most of all, EASY. If you are part of our facebook circle of love (join the party at facebook.com/prudentbaby) you know that I made a batch with frozen raspberries last saturday and my husband and child ate EVERY SINGLE ONE before I got to snap a pic or even taste one! 
Since they were so well received and so darn easy to make, I whipped up another batch on Sunday. This time I was out of frozen fruit, and actually out of real fruit too, actually pretty much out of everything because I hate going to the grocery store…
…but, my point is, I had to scrounge the cupboards for scone flavors, and I ended up using dried yogurt cranberries and a tangerine from our tree. Super deelish! You can make yours with any filling ingredients, and the heart shape will just make them that much sweeter.
The whole thing takes about five minutes to mix together and a bit more to bake, making these scones a simple sweet treat for a lazy morning. THANKS KEVIN!
