Why
are there only 24 hours a day? Or probably a better question to ask is,
why is it that all the things I want and need to do can't be done
within a 24 hours period?! So much has happened since my last post
(mid-August) so here I am yet again to catch things up (sorry mom &
dad!)
A couple days after my last post, I hosted a Brunch Book Exchange
with fellow moms. It's an ongoing event where moms and kids come over
to enjoy breakfast/brunch, followed by a book exchange. This first event
of this series was great because it was with moms I've already met
before and live nearby. There were 4 of us moms and a total of 6 kids.
The amount of folks was perfect for the sit down brunch I hosted. We had
a little buffet of various egg benedict fillings, allowing everyone to
create their own. I recreated it after a "brinner" event I hosted
because it works perfectly for a brunch date too.
After
our brunch, we enjoyed each other's company while watching our kids
play. Then it was time to exchange books! I loved this aspect of our get
together because it's new books to read - both for our little ones and
myself. I asked fellow moms to bring a children's book and a cookbook
they'd like to swap. In doing this, moms were able to check out some
cookbooks while the kids got new children's books. It was a win win for
everyone!
I'll be hosting these breakfast book exchanges monthly and already for September
there's a waiting list. I initially wanted up to 10 moms along with
their kids, but after having 4 moms and 6 kids at our first event, it's a
better idea to keep it small and manageable. Since August's brunch book
exchange highlighted eggs benedict, for September, I'll be providing a
doughnut bar. Guests will be able to help themselves to a variety of
homemade doughnuts which they can frost and top with a smattering of fun
ingredients (different frostings/glazes, sprinkles, nuts, etc.) I'm
excited to make doughnuts for the event so it should be fun!
I
wish I had taken more pics during this event aside from the food/table,
but with 6 kiddies around me, it was quite a challenge. I'll have to
practice taking more pics during our little foodie events so I can share
them!
