Presidents’ Day Holiday Fun

Happy Presidents’ Day!  If you’re looking for a fun and patriotic way to make breakfast for your kids today, we have just the thing.  I wrote a guest post yesterday of fun red, white and blue breakfast recipes at Penny Pinching Diva.

You don’t have to buy any special ingredients, either. The whole point of these crafty Presidents’ Day recipes is that they use regular breakfast foods that you already have at home!

I announced a super cool giveaway yesterday. We’re going to be part of the 2009 Ultimate Blog Party and we’ve donated 4 separate prizes for them to give away!  To find out what they are, go read the giveaway prize announcement (I’ll give you a hint- it will help you promote your blog!).
