I am the mother of a toddler and I also work part-time in health care marketing. I used to bake semi-professionally but I gave it up when my son was born. I love to make all kinds of cookies and I'm never satisfied until I get the recipe done perfectly. Baking with my mom for Christmas. I feel a little sad thinking about making this old cookie tree for a friend who passed away last year. My mom and I made it every year for him and now he's gone. Learning to make a roast chicken! Burning tomato sauce in college the first time I made it for a boyfriend.
