There are lots of reasons that I love staying home with Emma. We make our own schedule. We get to decide what time to get up, when to get dressed, and how to spend each minute of our day. Some days we stay in our pj s until nap time and sometimes we're out the door by 8... not to return until it's time to put her in the crib to crash. Now that Emma is getting older, I find that I'm enjoying our time together more and more. One of our most recent favorites is baking. Emma is quite the little helper and loves pouring the flour in scoop by scoop. Another great thing about baking...Emma asks for a "taste" about every two minutes so I get to sneak in some extra calories. Well, calories and just a wee bit of raw egg. We all survived right?!
