Brown Butter Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookies

I think it's fair to say that I have the cutest baking assistant in the world :)I've been meaning to try this new cookie recipe for months and since I finally replaced the mixer we burned out making mashed potatoes, I figured today was my chance. Ledger loved standing on the stool, measuring, whisking and stirring. Everytime I moved he picked up the stool and followed me. Once I convinced him to stop spooning the ingredients into the sink we were in business. The dough is yummy, hopefully the cookies will be too.

Fingerpaint Friday

When I was little I received a set of fingerpaints as a gift. They sat high up in my closet where I could see them but couldn't reach them. I remember asking to use them over and over but I was always told "Not today, they are too messy." After awhile I stopped asking and gave up :( The fingerpaints eventually dried up and I never got to use them so I have been looking forward to fingerpainting with my own child for years and today was the big day! I grabbed some WASHABLE fingerpaints last time I was out and rolled out the paper today :) We had lots of fun and kept the mess contained. I am so grateful that I can stay home full time with Ledger and for all the focused one on one time I am able to give him.
