Our lives have become so overwhelmingly busy that we feel out of balance, almost dizzy. We go faster and faster, take on more and more and often feel like we are spinning out of control. There seems to be little time left to connect as a family and create the loving, safe haven we all need at home.

The happyhome habits are simple, fun things we can do that give our families what they need: loving connections, strong values, and happy holiday memories. It's easier than we think to find balance in this dizzybusy world. Complete with interesting statistics, real life stories, five pull-out activities and a personality test to identify your style of connecting. This surprisingly simple, but remarkably powerful book will become a trusted reference for creating your own happyhome. #BK010

Breakfast of Love

Here's a present you know she'll love.

Using a cookie cutter or a knife, cut out a small heart shape from the center of a thick slice of bread. Spread each side of bread with herb butter.

Heat skillet over medium heat. Saute bread until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Lower heat, and gently flip toast.

Break an egg into the heart-shaped hole. Cover, and cook until egg white turns opaque, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate along with the heart-shaped piece of cutout bread, perfect for dipping into yolk.

Serve with a cup of hot cocoa or cafe au lait.
