Making Memories

Having chosen to be a stay at home Mum the reality is that in years to come the girls won't remember the amazing holiday to far flung places we went on or the stuff we bought them or even particularly the places I take them but it is my privilege to be able to make memories with them in the simple things each and every day.

This morning Miriam and I had a friend round to play but we had a wee while before they arrived so we baked some cakes.  This is exactly the kind of thing that we chose to put Naomi to morning nursery to achieve.  Simple moments spent together before the baby comes and spoils it all!!  Naomi and I used to do this kind of thing a lot (and still do while Miriam naps) so it was nice to do it with Miriam without her having to fight over a chance to stir or add an ingredient.

She's so proud of herself AND she got to eat a cake while our friends were round!
