Time with Ren

Ren has had the baking bug lately. We decided to make some cookie bars together. Willa was napping and we were listening to music and baking. I love to bake. I really love to bake with Ren. Sometimes I find myself and I can actually be present in a moment as a mom and say, "wow, I love this job. I'm so glad that she's mine." It's something I always believe and think, but it's easy to get overwhelmed and just get through the day whether it was good, great or stinky. This was a great, simple day. Here Ren still has on her apron and started to set up a play area while the cookies baked.

Then she wanted to take a picture of me.

As we say in this home, "Even when you're making a stinky choice, I still LOVE YOU!"
Oh, and I do.
