My daughter never ceases to amaze me! I was just telling a co-worker that one thing I love about my daughter is that when she wants to do something she goes after it. She doesn’t wait for me to tell her what to do or help her. She pushes me to do things she wants because she takes care of all the planning and preparation. One of her favorite things to do is to bake!
I often enjoyed baking when I was a child as well. Never much for cooking but I did love to bake. I remember baking a cake and decorating it flowers and all for my mother on either her birthday or Mother’s Day I can’t remember which.
With summer in full swing our weekends are often spent doing something fun, since much of the week she is bored and can’t wait to have some fun. Recently we were sent a fun care package from General Mills which included some yummy sounding recipes. When she saw the S’Mores Pizza Square recipe she said, “We have to make these!”
