Ok, who forgot to tell Miss K that it was daylight savings time?

I even tried keeping her up late eating pizza and watching a family movie. I thought that might ease her into the time change…

Epic. Fail.

She was up at 6 am bright eyed and ready to play. By the time we left for church at 8:45 she had even had a nap.

The joys. For the momma that loves her sleep. I might have snagged a two-hour nap in the afternoon. They always say sleep when the baby sleeps. She’s still young enough for that to apply right? I sure hope so.

Let’s all hope tomorrow morning goes better. Any tips on easing into the time change for kids?

Well, the good news is I have this easy new pizza recipe to try! That’s gotta be worth something right?

French Bread piled high dripping with cheese and your favorite toppings! Yes, it was almost worth it!

I hope I never grow up “enough” to lose my love of pizza! These are wonderful and a perfect option for my husband and myself. Not that I have anything against leftover pizza, but we get enough of exactly what we both want. Thanks.

Love this idea as well, I use Furlani’s Texas Toast and slightly pre-toast it, otherwise everything else is the same..So tasty and easy and everyone can make as many as they can eat with their favorite ingredients.

I love putting pizza toppings on non-traditional crust! So fast and easy and good. Sorry you’re having trouble adjusting to the time change. I recommend moving to Arizona or Hawaii where they don’t participate in daylight savings time! 😉 I think we need to just NOT have a time change. I’m sure parents everywhere would rejoice!
