Bake-a-thon

Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

We got so much holiday baking accomplished today! I haven't been able to bake all week since I was in training for work (and then had errands to run yesterday), so today was the first chance we had to get back to cookies.
I am so lucky that my sister helped me all day; she was my partner-in-crime with all of the work that I had to finish. Even when she was getting tired at the end of the night, she stood by my side and helped me clean up the kitchen so we would be ready for tomorrow....because yes, we have more to bake tomorrow. I feel like we're baking in this never-ending marathon of cookies, but the hard work is a lot of fun!

Part of me thinks it's insane that we're baking so much, but I know that it will all be gone in the blink of an eye. We're already down a handful of cookies just from everyone taste testing! Luckily though, all of the taste testing is paying off... I know when something's a little too dry, or when a batch comes out perfectly. I think that my cookie baking skills have definitely improved over the past few years from the first time I tried to make Christmas cookies.

I'm definitely planning on taking pictures of all of the cookies once they're completed. Not only do I want proof of how much baking we've done, but I want to remember which recipes I worked on this year and how they looked as finished products! I'm really proud of what my siblings and I have accomplished so far. In the meantime, I'll just leave you all to envision the perfect Christmas cookies and we'll see if my creations measure up when I post pictures.

Actually, if you have a favorite Christmas cookie, I'd love to hear about it. Or an experience baking cookies that you remember fondly... Share a story here on my blog in the comments, or take to my Facebook page to share pictures as well! You can even share with me on Twitter using #TaylorTalks. I'd really love to hear more from readers, so don't be shy!

Thank you so much for your continued support! I look forward to sharing more stories about my experience with foster care, and hopefully hearing from readers who have questions or similar stories to share. I'm always willing to answer questions and hear about other experiences! Please don't forget to like and share my Facebook author page as well!

I’d greatly appreciate it if you would share this blog with friends and family through your favorite social media sites. If you’re sharing on Twitter, don’t forget to tag me (@TayTayK02) and use the hashtag #TaylorTalks.

Thanks!
Taylor

    About

    Picture
    My family started doing foster care when I was three years old. We took in nineteen children over the course of eighteen years, with our last placement leaving in December 2014. I'm the only biological child in my family, though my parents adopted five of my siblings.

    I love to share my perspective on the foster care system and share how my unique upbringing shaped my life.

    I'm also a Cast Member at Walt Disney World and lover of all things Disney! My career allows me the opportunity to find a little bit of Magic in life every day.


    I enjoy sharing my journey as a writer as well. Find my children's books on Amazon and keep following my blog for updates on future books that I'll be releasing!
