... blogging and research ...

so i think it's quite obvious that i'm not a very good blogger. it's been almost 3 months since my last post. i need to make it part of my habit to get on here and just write. i think it would time well spent, especially after putting the kiddies to bed.

i've been doing LOTS of research on baked goods... need to start coming up with a way to bring in some income to contribute to our household. since being home, i've been baking a lot and all the goodies i've made have been very well received. but who doesn't like a yummy home-baked goodie, really? there's so many great blogs out there that share tons of information with you on how to make this and that, how to package it to look pretty... sometimes it's information overload and before you know it, i only have 3 hours left to sleep before the baby will wake up for me to nurse her. so instead of just "researching", i need to start practicing baking these yummy goodies and building an arsenal of goodies that i'm going to potentially sell.

this is the week i start practicing baking sugar cookies. i've never baked sugar cookies from scratch... the whole rolling out, cutting out shapes and icing part has scared me. but "carpe diem"... "sieze the day" and i must overcome that fear. plus i need to practice so that i can justify the need to purchase some "tools" like: cookie cutters, pastry bags, etc. i LOVE shopping for kitchen tools and gadgets, but these would be write-offs once my business is up and running!

wish me luck and i'll post pictures depending on how well they turn out!
