Oh Yummy! That looks delicious! I think we might add some of those to our Xmas baking list too!

Time for me to do the baking, too.

I don’t wanna. I have so many other things to accomplish that baking feels like so much messing around.

But I saw this amazing thing at Target yesterday. Is it new? I don’t know. But there were packages of PRE BAKED cookies, packed with little tubes of icing and little sprinkles. All a busy person would have to do is unpack the cookies, decorate and eat.

And I realized that even though baking is time consuming and messy, I will NEVER stoop to buying a packaged deal like that.

The Domestic Goddess is ON THE JOB!!!

All right, I confess! These are prebaked gingerbread men. Instead of pleading the 5th, I’d like to plead the “I LIVE WITH A 4-YEAR-OLD.”

I will now go hang my head in shame.

Well, not really.

I’ll be baking later in the month, but not Gingerbread men. And I solemnly swear that I will someday bake Gingerbread men from scratch — when my 4-year-old is no longer a 4-year-old and I live in a house with a dishwasher.

It’s totally fine to buy prepackaged if you’re going to consume it yourself.

I just don’t like the idea of making them and giving them as gifts.

I should have been more clear on that, huh?

Dump the guilt.

sheesh… sorry
