not a mundane monday

Even though the weather outside is less than agreeable, inside we are keeping warm and having fun:





For Christmas I got a KitchenAid mixer. January 1 I took it over to my mother-in-laws house and had her teach me how to make bread. I have not been successful in my previous attempts and was an anxious learner. I am proud to announce that I have been baking bread ever since and I find myself still surprised when it turns out. I had a couple of very scarring experiences before. Plus, they grind the wheat for me and happily share it. I couldn't ask for a better set-up.

I love being able to bake bread and have the kids in the other room coloring and entertaining themselves. And staying in our jammy's well into the late morning.

Not a mundane Monday at our house.  :p
