- bakeries & phyllo pastry - Mommys - give yourself an occasional breakfast cooking break! - Some winter weekend mornings - it's about rushing to get a court spot in for early morning tennis with a friend down at the center . --- Other mornings, it's about just chilling - ! My Husband is known for bringing home delicious cheesecake from the bakery for the weekend. He gets that from his Dad. ( My Father in law, still does things like that) All things in moderation, Relax, Enjoy the beautiful gesture & the treat!
