Warm, freshly baked, chocolate chip cookies.

Day Twelve

Post a photo of something you love. Why do you love this? What specifics can you give me about why you live this item/person?

I love baking. The warm, sweet scent that fills the air when something is in my oven. The inviting feeling it gives people when they walk into your home. Conversations are sparked that are filled with memories of Grandmothers & comfort.

There is something simply amazing about taking the first bite of a still warm, gooey, chocolate chip cookie. It can make a horrible day into a great one. It can make a skinned knee miraculously better. It can turn a bad mood into a happy one.

Go ahead, just try to tell me you don't love freshly baked, homemade, chocolate chips cookies. Yeah, didn't think you could.

Miniature cupcakes baking in the oven.

Day Four

Post a photo that best sums up the night you've had tonight. What did you do? Why was

it fun? who did you spend it with?

I spent nearly the entire day out shopping & running errands with Meaghan, Greg's daughter (she is

currently living with us as she relocates her life from Los Angeles to Las Vegas). We both had large

lists of things we needed to do, so it only made sense that once we arrived home & were winding

down after dinner, that Meaghan exclaimed, "Oh no!!! Ethan's cupcakes!" Ethan is her son, who

happens to be having a potluck in his class tomorrow morning. So, I grabbed my car keys &

Meaghan & I loaded into the car & made our way to WalMart. It is now 11PM & we still have

at least four more batches of mini cupcakes to put in the oven & decorate.

It's going to be a long night.
