Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

My five year old had his first day at school for the year yesterday and I promised him that he’d have some homemade chocolate chip cookies in his lunchbox as a treat. So on Wednesday afternoon, my five year old, three year old, eighteen month old and I gathered around the kitchen table to take turns in measuring, pouring and stirring. It’s a fun moment together and they feel such a sense of achievement. The best part for me is to see their eyes light up as they take that first bite of the cookie while it’s still warm from the oven.

I just walked in the door from ten glorious days away in the Wenderholm and Tawharanui Regional Parks.  After taking a break during the Christmas down period I decided to keep posting while I was away using my laptop and mobile 3G. Half way into the break we changed locations and the city girl in me was shocked when I saw that I had no 3G coverage! Sometimes we have no control over situations, so I took a deep breath and road with it. I must say that I’m feeling rather rejuvenated, I slept in often thanks to Mamie Annie, I went for long walks without the children thanks to Mamie Annie, I think I prepared only one meal, thanks again to Mamie Annie.
