You see, I love to bake.  I bake when I’m happy, I bake for therapy, I bake to because I love to share and make people happy. I think I’m decent at it and hope to pass this skill along to my kids.

Here is my plan. Each week, I take time out to bake something w each of the kids.  We choose a recipe together, work together to make it and then they decide who they would like to gift it to.

On Friday I made pie for Pi Day (3.14) for teachers at Island School.  It was the perfect time to have Erin help.  She decided on blackberry peach pie and she helped make one to gift to her Godma Kris.  She will always help…pouring, measuring, mixing, rolling.  The girl does it all.  She could hardly wait to give it to Kris, she was so proud!

Today was the boy’s turn.  Carlos made granola for his friend, Elaina (and some for the family!).  Levi made a blackberry pie for his friend, Ryan, and Trey made peanut butter cookies for Nana and Papa (shhhh, don’t tell…we haven’t delivered them yet!)

I’m excited for the chance to bake w all my kids!
