What a sweet story!!! My mom did that with my daughter and my 12 year old granddaughter - helped them make biscuits and cookies. I doubt my mom will be able to do that with the two year old when she gets old enough - so I guess it will be ME!

How wonderful! I love family traditions and rituals. You have a great deal to hand down Gayle, especially your wisdom.

I bet she'll want to carry them on too. My daughter, like yours, could not have cared less either a few years ago. But now that she has daughters of her own, she has come to appreciate things in a different way.

Some of my happiest memories are of my mom and I cooking and baking together. I love when my kids ask me to teach them to make something, and we always have fun doing it! It's nice to see our family traditions passed down.
