The perks of having a weekly babysitter

The stars aligned when we found our babysitter Jill who's been with us for over a year now.

Recently we introduced cooking to the agenda - to mix it up a little and keep the little one interested and busy measuring, pouring, and stirring, so that she doesn't mind when mama and papa head out for the evening.

So far they've baked cookies, cornbread muffins, and scones. (The scones were especially delicious!)

So now when U. and I come home, not only is our little one freshly bathed and fast asleep, but the house smells great, and we have freshly baked goods to munch on. Perks I tell ya!
