For those of you who don't know, Matt got me a mixer for Christmas. This was one of those things that I've always wanted but never thought I'd actually get. I must say, we are pretty excited about it and find ourselves looking for opportunities to use it. So, instead of writing about our kids' most recent accomplishments or whatever it is you are supposed to talk about on a family blog, I decided I would share about our new favorite toy.Why I love this thing:
1. It's great for making bread. In this picture, it's kneading up dough for 3 loaves of bread. We haven't bought bread at the store since Christmas (not that we will never buy it again, I have just enjoyed being able to make my own so easily). And the kids actually beg for pieces of bread when I am slicing it up.
2. Mashed potatoes are a breeze.
So much easier than with our hand mixer and they turn out great.

Ok, I don't want to bore you all but now you know about my new obsession. So there you have it. I love my mixer!

That's just awesome!! Pretty cool toy for moms I must say. I wish I had one too.
I'm jealous! I wanted one for Christmas too, but I guess I have to figure out how to cook before I get one. Have fun making all of that bread!
Logan has learned that when our mixer is on that he gets cookies, or "tooties". Even when I am making mashed potatoes or bread he says "tooties". One time he was bawling in the kitchen and I went in there and he was begging for cookies... watch out.
Nice pictures of the kids! :)
I had no idea you were big into baking until I read your meme post. That's cool that you got that mixer and that you're putting it to good use!
I have to say I too, am jealous. That bread looks yummy, and what a cool and inexpensive treat! So cool!
