It did not take me long in this new season we are in to figure out how very, very capable my trio is!

Between lots of time at home and every one else at work, I realized that it was time to train up the youngest three to be my BIG helpers.

It really was no surprise to me how much Tate and Eliza would love helping with more important things – like cooking and baking.

Lane loved to learn to cook and bake a few years ago when I taught him too!

I watched the two little ones closely with a sharp knife a couple of times and then set them loose!

They literally can make meals now at eight years old!

They are great at making snack food too.

And helping with clean up, of course!

Tate made this banana cake almost completely by himself one afternoon, and then we had it for bed time snack!

Not only are Lane, Tate, and Eliza helpful in the kitchen – but they help with every thing.

Mowing, gardening, cleaning, organizing, putting away grocery….they are an awesome crew!

It has been such a blessing training up these three!

Trusting them with more responsibility has built such confidence in them!

I am SO thankful for their help and for how much fun we have working together!!

We are embracing these days of me and my trio – and enjoying them!

Here’s to many more, Lord willing!!
