baking.


Being a full time wife, mom and employee can be tricky at times but if you make the time for the things you love you can make it all work.  This took me a while to figure out but once I did, my life was so much happier.  I have found for me to be happy I must be creating something.  I like to bake and bring the goodies to work (Costco) and hear all the compliments.  A lot of times people will ask me how I have time to bake all the time.  My answer is easy, I enjoy baking so I make the time to do it.  

I love baking with my two children.  It is great to watch my 3 year old scoop the flour and level it off with a knife.  My 2 year old gladly volunteers to lick the beaters and scrape the bowl when we are done.  I like teaching my kids and watching them figure it out.   It is simple to show them that a few ingredients can turn into something delicious.  It's quality time that I love.  
Here are a few of our favorites:


(I found this recipe on a blog I love to read and the cake was a hit)

    Your cupcake photo inspired me to create cupcakes for my daughter's first birthday party coming up on Sunday. I wasn't sure what sort of cake to make, and the cupcakes in your photo are so classy and simple, I decided to follow suit. Thanks again!

    Love that apron! And I love that you work at Costco b/c I have an obsession with it. I am also always bringing treats into work and people ask me the same thing: how do you find time? Like you said, you make it!

    I'm the same way- I LOVE to bake! It is important to have somewhere to take the baked goods though- it certainly doesn't work out well if they stay around her too long! :)
