” But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light; Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul”
1 Peter 2:9-11
A beautifully blessed cold yet sunny Saturday afternoon, the Saturday chores are done, I am watching the little people while my parents enjoy an afternoon out, and the grand plan of baking comes to mind! It has been quite a while since I baked just for fun and find that the afternoon is free. So with my Camera handy, cupcakes chosen, and 2 little sisters eager to help we grab our aprons and get started! Baking is always sweeter when these two come to help. :) Plus their energy level always adds a bit of craziness & fun!
Spiced Eggnog Cupcakes! Recipe can be found on my cooking blog, Granola Girl Bakes. :)
Your sisters are so cute!!!
What a darling post. I don’t know how you do it. Babysitting the kids and making dessert— while still keeping them occupied and making a beautiful masterpiece. These cupcakes look delicious… yum! These photographs…stunning.
Thanks for sharing!
Blessings,
Leah
Thank you thank you Thank you, Leah!! :)
Oh my, I will say it was done by God’s grace alone because these two girls are little balls of energy!! But seriously,
a fewseveral spills, numerous thwarted attempts to lick the spoon, many breaks for snacks and fresh air, and a rather messy kitchen accompanied the baking party. ;) It was definitely a test in patience but always so much more fun when the little people are around! :)Thank you for commenting, Leah!
Oh, I know what you mean. The other day I was baking bread with four of my siblings…
Though it was a little more chaos, they were actually pretty helpful!
It was either babysit them while their playing in the other room and have to stop (and run) if any fights or trouble occurs, or let them help and be able to keep an eye on them and break up fights right there. Definitely a test in patience… But that’s how the Lord stretches and sanctifies us. =)
Yes, they definitely can be helpful and letting them help now trains them for when they will need to do the baking. :) and yes, God is so good to use these little things to stretch and sanctify us! :-)
