We didn't have desserts all the time but when we did, toll house chocolate chip pie was a staple! To this day, it's still my sister's all-time favorite dessert. We also typically had a pint of Ben & Jerry's in the freezer.

For special occasions, we'd have something more elegant like chocolate mousse. Other desserts would also make an appearance - apple crisp in the fall, angel food cake over the summer, and various cookies that could be packed as snacks for lunch or long Saturdays at the ballet studio. The best part is my mom made virtually everything from scratch.

I have two separate morning routines. Weekdays typically involve getting up at 5 or 5:30 (although this is much harder in the winter), grabbing breakfast, pouring coffee to go, a quick shower, getting dressed, and throwing together a lunch. Out the door by 7 or 7:15. Music or a book on the bus to work. On the weekends, I wake up without an alarm, make a fresh pot of coffee, make a leisurely breakfast, and go to pilates or tennis. Feels great to start the day with a workout.
