HI...I am a stay at home mom of four little angels. I have four young children that were all born within 27 months. My oldest daughter is 4, middle daughter is 3 and my son/daughter twins are 2. I LOVE them with all my heart and love preparing them meals. Cooking is something that I really enjoy sharing with them. They all four love to help in the kitchen. From a very very young age, I would sit them on the counter next to me and let them participate in preparing meals. My husband also enjoys helping out. We are a very close loving family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
