Chocolate Chip Muffins

Man you can tell your a mom when your first time sitting since work is at 9 pm and it is your time to write on your blog / try to watch your show. Every minute of the day is worth it to spend time with my little loves.

I was ecstatic when my oldest asked if we could bake together this afternoon (before she sent me outside in our 95 degree spring to grill dinner). It is a major change going from a 3 year old helper to a 10 year old who can do everything without needing my help. She did a great job with our dessert. We ate half of them before bed! Well we actually made some mini ones to share with the 3 neighborhood families we play with every day. I can not wait to taste her next master piece in the kitchen.
