Baking again!

I missed baking so much and have not baked any since the start of my pregnancy till yesterday. So that makes it about almost two years since I've last baked. Yesterday night after Georgia and Kieran has gone to bed, I quickly set about making the vanilla snap biscuits dough so that I can bake them today together with Georgia. Georgia helped to decorate the biscuits with the cute toppings given to me by one of my flickr friend. The biscuits are quite yummy and it's something fun to for Georgia to do. Next time I'll make some icing for her to draw on them. Now I have started baking again, I'll try and squeeze in time to bake at least once a week. Okie gotta go now as Kieran is in need of my attention!
