this little lady ended June by starting to help out more in the kitchen. My greatest memories are with my Mom in the kitchen. There is lots of learning that goes in there that is practical and also major life lessons and life discussions have happened with my own Mom in a kitchen. I am so lucky to get to be her Mom. She stretches me and challenges me and she is so much fun and so full of love. Moments like this make me so excited about the many more years in the kitchen we will have together!
