**BAKING**

I LOVE TO BAKE!

I'm sure if you know me,

my kitchen is always at work!!

One reason I love it so much is that

it is a way to be with my boys.

They love helping me.

Each of them takes a turn dumping flour,

sugar, adding the vanilla etc...

When I was a little girl and I would come home from

school there was alway something warm coming out of the oven.

I would sit down on a stool at the counter and

TALK to my mom. It is one of those cherished memories.

I want that with my sons!! Cherished Memories!!

I'm now a baker at heart. And I think I'm pretty good at it.

So I'm going to share with you each week something

I bake with the boys.
