Whenever I see questions like this one, my mind always wanders back to my childhood. There are few pleasant memories of my early days, but somehow a small bubble of warm memories with my mom survived.
I’ve one where she took me to get my ears pierced for the first time… I felt so grown up!
All the rest of my positive memories mainly revolve around the kitchen, which you may have noticed in any of my writings about my mother.
Whichever way you wish to look at it, that kitchen is where my love of baking was born! The day my mother gave me an Easy-Bake Oven created a monster, if you will… a cookie one, that is!
I was propped up on a stool, precariously balanced on an old Yellow Pages phone book… and handed a large bowl of Chocolate Chip cookie dough, to be exact!
I sat there for the entire day, meticulously baking my cookies one at a time, until I’d emptied the entire mixing bowl!
I’ve never lost that love of baking, and cookies are still my favorite thing to make, to this day!
Have one…
Journey With Me! 
I just love your pictures, they are so cute.

So cool. Reminds me of an ex who loved to bake. Very good at it, too. The problem was that she made me pay for it, even when I was helping out with other bills. For her, it was all about Benjamin’s 😆
