I promised you chocolate this week, and even though I waited until the very end, I’m delivering. These little sweet treats were the dessert that Nick and Jamie made for my belated Mother’s Day dinner a few weeks ago. The recipe comes from a Pillsbury magazine (one of those small grocery store check-out ones) and as the cover recipe, totally drew me in. I’m not going to dive into a long explanation on this one, not this time. Madeline woke up at 5:45 am this morning, and this Mama can barely keep her eyes open anymore. Nick and Jamie reported that the recipe was uber-simple to make, and we all thought it was a cute little ending for a great dinner. I loved the chocolate chip cookie crust, and can think of many new things to make using that as a base. So go forth and conquer. Chocolate. It does a body good.

I got my nails done today, and as soon as I walked in the door, Madeline was all over me, examining each and every nail and demanding I take my shoes off for further inspection. And then she wanted her nails done. She’s finally at the age (hurrah!) where she’ll sit still long enough for the nail polish to dry, so she and Jamie took off in search of colors. With a very iffy week weather-wise, it was a perfect indoor activity for them. Madeline knew exactly what colors she wanted, going with a hot pink for her fingers and a funky, sparkly blue for her toes. Then she wanted to do Jamie’s nails. Jamie was very brave.
