Fifty-Two on Friday (23) Growth

This week’s Fifty-Two on Friday theme is Growth.  When I think of the word Growth, my mind immediately goes to my daughter.  I keep telling her to stay little, but she wants to be big oh so badly!  She wants to wear my make-up, pay with my credit cards, plan out the day’s activities, and take charge in the kitchen.

Unlike me, my daughter LOVES to cook . . . but it’s usually in her little play kitchen.  So, you can only image her excitement when the UPS man showed up with a huge box and we open our first (yes our first) Kitchen-Aid Mixer.  Truth be told, I think I was more excited about the color than anything!  :o)

But my daughter, of course, couldn’t get the mixer out of the box fast enough.  She wanted to bake something. So, we baked a chocolate cake.  Okay, let me rephrase that . . . SHE baked a chocolate cake. And she did so All. By. Her. Self.  She insisted all doing it all – all by her little self. Yes, she’s getting big.  At times I can’t believe how big.  Four years of growth. I can only image what the next four years will lead to.:o)

A woman after my own heart! I love pink and i must say it is my favorite color. as i have shared many times, i have two sons so i live in a house of men. it is hard to throw much pink in the mix, but this kitchen-aide rocks. i love the shots of your daughter in her apron and the fact that she loves to cool. it is great that you encourage her even if there is a little more mess to clean up. super sweet. her sitting in front of oven watching her masterpiece, too cute.

OHHH awesome colour, we have a red one…pink totally doesn’t exist here in Aus!!! But I have to say, your daughter reminds me of myself as a child, I was exactly like her, and I kick everyone out of the kitchen these days no when I want to bake!
