There are only a handful of reasons why I would wake up at 4am:
- Heading out to the airport to catch a flight
- Caring for a sick child
- Procrastination on a work assignment that forces me to be up early to finish up (anyone?)
- A baking project
Hubby volunteered to bring snacks to a morning meeting at work this past Monday. Always wanting to impress people with homemade baked goodies, he decided on making our cinnamon rolls. We make these over different holidays to pass along to friends and neighbors and as a treat for our house guests to wake up to.

Speaking of waking up to something — phase 1 of our dough was mixed the night before so that we could wake up to risen dough and finish up the rest of this labor of love.
If you ever want to be jolted into your day, try taking several tastes of sugary cinnamon roll filling and maple icing with your coffee before the sun comes up!
Someone’s gotta do it.
