Finally Blogging! My New Year's Resolution

This is my very first post on my very first blog.

I want to start out by saying I'm not a perfect mom, nor will I ever be a perfect mom.  I may not have the cleanest house, but I want my kids to remember that they always had good food to eat and most of the time I prepared it for them--from scratch.

I give credit to my mom:  When I was growing up, my mom always cooked all our meals from scratch and taught me how to cook and bake.  I never realized how much she did for us until I became a mom.  She also liked to entertain; we constantly had people over for dinner.  I learned a lot from her.  Now, I want to teach my children, just like I learned from my mom.   I like to cook and bake a variety of things so that's what I'd like to share with you.

My mom is in heaven now, but the legacy of her work in the kitchen lives on.
