Pancake Mini Muffins

On Halloween night I actually dreamed of these...

With an overdose of my kids' candy & the convenience of facebook on my iPhone, I *thought* I saw a post with a recipe for these delights just before I fell asleep. When I awoke the next morning I was determined to find the post & make pancake mini muffins for breakfast.

Turns out somewhere in my chocolate induced coma what I really saw was a recipe for leftover Halloween candy muffins. (who has leftover candy & why would you make muffins with it....) I guess that just proves I should not eat mass quantities of chocolate & cruise facebook at bedtime.

Thank goodness for Google! I found a several different ways to make these from simple to seriously extreme. With 3 kids from 1-17 I stuck with simple of course!

To make 24 Pancake Mini Muffins

Preheat oven to 375°

Line mini muffin pan with cupcake liners or use non stick cooking spray (i like to use Pam)

Mix 1 1/2 cups of COMPLETE pancake mix with 1 cup water

Add about 1/8 cup of syrup (sugar free syrup works great)

Adjust water/ pancake mix amounts if needed- this should be cake batter consistency.

Fill muffin tins to the top & bake for 15-20 minutes

I like to add a bite size piece of precooked sausage- other variations are chocolate chips or fresh fruits.

TA-DA

Easy breakfast, happy kids, & NO sticky syrup hands :)

Hooo Hoooo

 In search of some friendly owl clip art for a dear friend's owl themed baby shower (more on that project soon!) I stumbled across the best DIY pattern for owl ornaments. My plan quickly changed from printing a few pictures to hand stitching adorable felt owls. You can find the pattern here from Juicy Bits- A big Thanks to her for sharing!!!
These were so easy to make & modify for the baby shower decorations. My 10 month old & 6 year old loved them so much I made larger ones for them. The one for my baby boy has black felt circles instead of buttons for the eyes & my daughter's needed a felt bow, of course. Changes that I made included leaving of the ric rac "feathers" & using small glass beads instead of buttons on the eyes. So much fun & so many ways to change these to fit the receiver or occasion! Even with my super special sewing ability (lol) these came out cute & were very easy to make :)

Enjoy!

Check back soon for Guess Whooo's Having a Girl-  from hand made invitations to twig centerpieces & diaper cakes I'll try to cover it all :)

And the winner is.....

All that Glitters...

Yes. I know.  Christmas is still 6 months away. 182 days to be exact. It smacked me in the face when I noticed Christmas displays appearing in my favorite craft stores. I have less than six months to get  product ready for Holiday Boutiques, Halloween, Thanksgiving, & Christmas!

What better way to pull me out of my it's-way-to-early- for- Christmas mood than to {GIVE}!

Here's a little sneak peek of the upcoming

CHRISTMAS IN JULY GIVEAWAY

Stay tuned for details!

What can Rock A Bow Baby do for you?

Like glitter? I do too!

In fact, if you see glitter on a Rock A Bow Baby flower it has actually been hand painted on. This allows for maximum coverage with minimal shed (Dads love this feature).

Team orders? Absolutely!

While I love to create one of a kind items as often as possible, I can & do provide uniform items for teams, businesses & organizations. See the team order section for more information.

Custom Bows? Why YES!

Any little girl would LOVE her own bows for her special outfit. There's nothing I like more than to create one of kind originals.

These are just a few of the things Rock A Bow Baby can do for you. Painting, glittering, to bling or not to bling.... Just ask!

If I can't do it & do it right, I'll refer you to someone that can!
