I want to start sharing with you some of our favorite things, specifically my kids favorite things to do. My girls LOVE helping in the kitchen. It's something they do all the time with my mom, which I love. That's a special memory they will always have of their Nana and she makes it a point to let them help no matter what she's making.
I'm not always as reluctant to have them help me. I'm a little controlling in the kitchen and we don't have much space. Plus, I don't like to cook. I want to do it and get it done. My mom is a cook. The best, in fact, and has more patience with her grandchildren than I do sometimes.
Last weekend, I did let the girls bake. They wanted muffins and I had just bought some easy (and cheap) mixes from the store. You know the ones. Where you just add water or milk. Mix and bake. I let them to do it all and they were in heaven!
I did help when it came to putting them in the hot oven and then taking them out when they were done, but they added the water/milk, stirred, spooned the mix into the cupcake liners and then licked the bowls.
