Cherry Orange Coffee Cake with the BEST crumb topping!

 Do you ever have the feeling on Monday mornings that you need the week to recover from the weekend?? Well, that’s exactly how I’m feeling this Monday morning. After a weekend full of fun, the thought of having a little less fun actually sounds appealing. Ha! That’s not something you hear every day…..

 It really was a packed weekend, though, starting with a ladies night out on Friday and ending with an all-day get together at my parents’ house yesterday. The thought of having a quiet house and nothing to do for a few days sounds amazing! Of course, our house is never really quiet…..and having “nothing to do” is not really something that happens anymore…..but I can dream, right?

One thing that always helps our lives feel less crazy is baking. That might sound ridiculous, given the fact that baking is messy and time consuming and bound to lead to some type of argument among the kids over who gets to pour or stir or lick the spoon……but there really is something about it that makes life feel more peaceful.

 Maybe it’s just the idea of it…..like “See? We baked! If our lives were SO crazy, there’s no way we’d have time for baking!”……or maybe it’s the enjoyment we get from the finished product. Either way, I have the feeling this might be a baking kind of week. Which is perfect, since it’s the week before Valentine’s Day! We made this Cherry Orange Coffee Cake to take to my parents’ yesterday, and let’s just say it needs to happen again. I’m thinking Saturday morning brunch. What can I say? I’m a glutton for weekend craziness…..just give me the week to recover.
