You will certainly find a bit more time when your little ones become school-aged and not so mommy-centric. Then they'll be asking for more cookies, too. ;-) My daughter is now finding the joy of cooking and baking in college. For the last several years, both of my children have baked our annual Christmas birthday-cake-for-Jesus on their own, deciding on the flavor, decorations, and number of candles--one less baking duty for mom.Chris Margocshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18261261993571716230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-303316735393486980.post-71855143680727922332015-03-27T09:59:28.695-05:002015-03-27T09:59:28.695-05:00I was already loving your post and then I saw the ...I was already loving your post and then I saw the pictures--wow! I'm envious of your talent! Baking is such a calming, warm activity. I call myself a Stress Baker--I almost always find myself in the kitchen, up to my elbows in cookie dough, anytime I have something stressful going on in my life. My kids are too little (1 and 3) right now for me to have much time, but I aspire to bake like you as soon as they are a bit older.

Also, with one child in college and another in high school, the baking needs are not what they used to be. I have baked a loaf of bread here and there, but not enough to hone expertise in kneading and knowing the right "feel" for the dough.Chris Margocshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18261261993571716230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-303316735393486980.post-75893701970615063092015-03-27T05:26:56.061-05:002015-03-27T05:26:56.061-05:00Those look delicious.

It is such an art and so helpful for letting the mind wander. After being diagnosed with Celiacs, I sort of lost my interest. Maybe one day I'll make gluten free loaves instead! Lemon pound cake is right up my alley. Kimberley Moranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11944774091932084680noreply@blogger.com
