Beanie and Bon: Baking for beginners...

So I'm two years into my 'new career path' as a full time mum (god that went fast!) and although I'm enjoying it a lot it is bloody hard work! I'm exhausted and I hardly ever get a break. It's a 7 days a week, 24 hours a day job and although it's amazingly rewarding there are days were I think I will jack it all in and get a 'proper' job. A job with real adults, and proper tea breaks. But at the moment I've decided that I've got to throw myself into tis whole 'mum' thing 100% and not be a wimp about it. So with this in mind I decided to do some baking...

Before I had Mabel I had never baked anything in my life. Not a sausage (Well id baked or rather grilled a sausage of course and other savoury things but no cakes, biscuits or anything like that.

The scary thing is the more you bake the more you feel the need to bake some more. Its addictive. One afternoon I was peckish and I just rustled up some oat biscuits in 20 minutes. It was easy!I even bake when Mabel is napping. So I don't even let her bake with me (how cruel) I also have a confession to make, I considered buying one of those magazines that come free with cookie cutters etc, it was called 'I love Baking' or something. When on earth would I find time to make hand painted sugar butterflies? and more importantly why would i want to make them in the first place? Because I'm in love with baking! either that or I'm just greedy and like eating the results.
