Lemon Poppy Seed Pancakes

 Today is Mother's Day! The day my husband spoils me to let me know how much he appreciates me for being a momma, and also the day I spend thinking about how much I love my sweet little daughter and my husband who make it such a joy to be a mother. And thanking God so much for the extraordinary gift of motherhood! And for lemon poppy seed pancakes.... 

  My husband actually offered to make me breakfast in bed, but I really wanted to make these pancakes. So he cleaned up after me in the kitchen as a compromise.
