Blueberry Coffee Cake with Icing
I made this yesterday for breakfast and it was terrific! The texture was great - the whole family loved it..and I added half a cup of pecans to give it a little crunch. (I also mixed the berries in instead of layering them.) It took 45 minutes to cook, (the recipe said it would take 30), so if you happen to make this recipe, be sure to just check it with a toothpick every so often until it's cooked through and golden brown on the top. I highly recommend this recipe!

Thank you for your blog. Now I appreciate Palin even more.
Amen. It's such a hard thing b/c people don't seem to understand that you just lost all the hopes and dreams you had for a BABY not a pregnancy. Or even worse, a "product of conception"...I lost our first baby after we tried for 4 1/2 years to conceive-and yet, I didn't feel as if I had the "right" to grieve that baby in that sense. I felt like people thought I should shake it off. I heard countless thoughtless words from well-meaning people. "One day you'll have more kids than you know what to do with" "something must've been wrong with the baby-it wouldn't have been healthy" and "at least it was early"...Now, when someone I know loses a baby I say "I'm so sorry" and leave it at that. It's the saddest thing-to lose a child, whether that child is barely conceived or 10 or 40...it's not a pain we're meant to endure.
Thank you for your Blog it is helping me so much right now through my own Journey.
