Rediscovering Domesticity: Finer Things Friday - Baby Snuggles!

Finer Things Friday - Baby Snuggles!


This happened Thursday morning (actually happens many mornings), but it is most definitely a Finer Thing!  Head over to Amy's Finer Things to read more stories!

Thursday morning was simply so sweet.  I brought Little Man in to our bed around 6:15.  Hubby was already up for the day.  I let Little Man nurse and then I heard Hubby in the shower.  Little Man and I just snuggled.  I love his sweet breath as he sleeps sweetly.  I love the feel of his fuzzy head on my cheek as he snuggles close.  I love the feel of his tiny hands as they rub my arms.  I love his juicy, messy kisses.  I love his big grin after a hug.  I love his baby chatter as he discovers new things in the room.  I love how he intently watches his Daddy get ready for work.  I love how he tries to immitate his Daddy by "doing his hair."

There is just nothing better than baby snuggles in the morning!  What are your Finer Things?





I do want to share my favorite holiday recipe to go along with the Bloggy Progressive Dinner!  I absolutely LOVE these treasures!  They are so easy to make and simply divine!


Oreo Truffles!


Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) package OREO Chocolate Sandwich Cookies, divided
  • 1 (8 ounce) package PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
  • 2 (8 ounce) packages BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate, melted

Directions

  1. Crush 9 of the cookies to fine crumbs in food processor; reserve for later use. (Cookies can also be finely crushed in a resealable plastic bag using a rolling pin.) Crush remaining 36 cookies to fine crumbs; place in medium bowl. Add cream cheese; mix until well blended. Roll cookie mixture into 42 balls, about 1-inch in diameter.
  2. Dip balls in chocolate; place on wax paper-covered baking sheet. (Any leftover chocolate can be stored at room temperature for another use.) Sprinkle with reserved cookie crumbs.
  3. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. Store leftover truffles, covered, in refrigerator.

  • Place truffle ball in melted chocolate to coat; roll if necessary. Lift truffle from chocolate using 2 forks (this will allow excess chocolate to run off) before placing on wax paper.

Oooh, baby snuggles are the best! My babies are older, but I love snuggling with them and I also babysit some 1 year old twins and love to snuggle with them when they are over.

Oooh, Oreo Truffles sound delish! :D

We love those oreo truffles, too, but I'd give them up in a heartbeat for some more baby snuggle days!
