Since the holidays, MR has put aside her Barbie dolls, (“Barbara’s”), Little People, and books in exchange for all things “Martha”. Little Martha loves to be in the kitchen. She enjoys crafts, cooking, and cleaning. At the mere mention of one of these activities, Little Martha can be heard running to her playroom to fetch her chair. Standing in her chair, she has baked dozens of cookies and muffins; decorated a gingerbread house, washed dishes, and colored countless holiday cards and ornaments. Her assistant, Sadie dog, is usually close by, awaiting any crumb that may fall.
I’m eagerly anticipating the day that Little Martha can be a one woman act. The thought of fresh baked goodies, clean dishes, and a house full of crafts makes this mama very, very happy!

Little Martha’s gingerbread house; she spent hours meticulously placing each piece of candy on the house.
MR and I spent some time this weekend making homemade Christmas goodies for our neighbors. We filled each bag with Andes Chocolate Mint cookies, Chocolate Chunk Cookies, and Chocolate Fudge.
Now if we could just get Little Martha to work on being more patient.
I couldn’t be any more excited if you said MR was coming up with potions to make her Jujube thin. She is learning from the absolute BEST, and I just know she is going to bake her auntie loads of cookies in the coming years.
