Claire has found a way to entertain herself once her school work is done and Mom is still working. She has taken her love for baking and is working on perfecting it! Each weekend she looks up recipes and picks three things she wants to try to make for the week. Then on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday she makes one of the items she picked after her school work is completed. This is a great way for her to become even more independent in the kitchen and gives her something to occupy her time while I am still working. Every once in a while she asks for help, but she has gotten this baking thing down pretty well! She has even taught me a thing or two that she has learned on baking shows, like what a jimmie is!
Last week we had homemade blueberry muffins with a crunchy top, cookie cake with fancy frosting, and mint chocolate brownies. It is a good thing I have time to exercise in the mornings before logging in to work because having all of these amazing desserts in the house can be very hard to resist!
Claire has also taken on the love of preparing meals for us for dinner. We have loved placing our order and then showing up to eat! The weather has been so wonderful, we have spent many evenings eating out by the pool. I have to say, I am thankful for the time to slow down and enjoy time together right now!
