A Modern June Breakfast

How to make a healthy breakfast
By Modern June


Step 1: Sleep late (7:45 -- OK not really late for some, but late for me!). Get lucky enough to have your husband gone off to work early, and to have your children sleep way too late! Spend an hour updating Etsy site (where, by the way there are several new cute things to see) while styling a fabulous vintage apron, of course.

Step 2: Realize that if those kids don't get up soon, your husband will be so tired and angry at bedtime that this private time really wasn't worth it.


Step 3: Get out all your ingredients, realize this a great blog post, and take photos.


Step 4: Realize that you have no eggs, and run to the neighbors house for shameless begging of food supplies. Bonus, receive two great magazines to enjoy in my down time -- in January.

Step 5: Listen to kids be very sweet and cute while they play nicely together, while you blog, take silly pictures and try to actually cook the breakfast without burning anything.


Step 6: Realize that you have no place to serve this "yummy display of housewifery and motherly love" because no one (you) cleaned up the table after last nights art time.


Step 7: How to handle the unexpected guest: imaginary plush food of course.


Step 8: Push the mess aside and proceed with eating. It certainly isn't Martha. It's just me, Modern June, and my typical day. I'mm sure that June Cleaver is turning over in her make believe coffin!

Step 9: Enjoy the bliss.

Modern Polly Pocket!

UPDATE: This is my Saturday November 3rd post! I didn't want to break my moblopomo 07 pledge on the third day! I knew that driving up to DC for the show I would not have blog time so I did it the night before and then posted it in the morning before I left. But the date was listed as Friday! NOT FAIR, blogger! So that is my excuse! Third day and I am making excuses for a silly online pledge thingy! I need more sleep!

Maddie made Polly pocket go Modern June! The apron was hand made with love is out of polymer clay. I don't think we will be baking the poor girl, but I will cherish her until she needs a new outfit!

"For you mommy!" some of momma's favorite words! She made this for me since she knew I was in my pre-show-stress-mode! Oh mommy guilt you are a bear! I love the kerchief on her head. Who knew Polly Pocket was a housewife?

our little bit of spring

Maddie took this photo...wow she's good.

This is Aidan's tree. We planted it a week after I found him in the bathroom with a gallon size plastic bag over his entire head, he immediately passed out in my arms. By the time I ripped the bag off his head and carried him to my bed he wasn't breathing and was blue. My poor little boy. Three years before this horrible day, I had wanted to give birth to him in that bed but I was not lucky enough because he was a breech baby and a home birth was out of the question. But, I was able to give him a second breath of life through CPR on that bed.

Later that day, after an ambulance ride to the ER, Aidan told me that he was using the bag to be a spaceman, it was his helmet. To deal with the stress of it all I planted a tree and Don purchased this space helmet for him. Now 3 years later as I see Aidan's tree bloom I am reminded of how lucky I am and how great life really is.
