For a few weeks I've been baking bread for Margaret, Matthew, and Hazel. It has been quite a hit with Miss Hazel. It is known as 'Nana bread' at their house. When we were taking care of her on Friday, I thought I'd let her make the bread with me. She thoroughly enjoyed herself, and brought it home. I told her we can call it 'Hazel bread.' I felt like I was part of a long line of grandmothers teaching the grandchild how to make bread. My heart was bursting with love.
Just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThis makes me happy just reading about making Hazel Bread.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet post--I love the Hazel Bread and Hazel is just adorable. She will cherish that time with you and memories you made.

I am so looking forward to being able to do this too. She watched me making scones today and said, 'Cake!' and couldn't wait to eat them.
ReplyDeleteAwwww. I love this.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful - treasured memories in the making.

Oh, how delightful. I can think of nothing better than to cook with children, and baking bread has to be the very best.
ReplyDeleteI love baking and cooking with our Kezzie, and Ezra enjoys getting into the mix now as well. Someone did a post on a book that I just sent to our Kezzie for her birthday. "The Forest Feast for Kids" with simple vegetarian recipes kids can make on their own (but more fun with adults). I sent it along with some $$$ to go grocery shopping.
Hazel Bread is the best bread. Thanks for sharing this heart-melting post.
ReplyDeleteMy heart is bursting with happiness for you and Hazel Nina! What a wonderful gift to share with this dear little girl. You are both so blessed to live so near one another. Thanks for sharing this lovely post, dear friend!
ReplyDeleteI can almost smell that wonderful aroma of bread. I bet it is great and will make very fond memories for Hazel Nina. xx
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely lovely. You are creating such wonderful memories.
ReplyDeleteI was going to say exactly the same as Kay :-)
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I am now happy to begin the day because of reading about Nana bread (I am a Nana, too) and Hazel bread.
ReplyDeleteYour grandchildren are so very lucky to have you and Tom in their lives. You are helping them to build a solid core of values and happy memories, as well as the unbeatable memory of the smell of just baked bread. x
ReplyDeleteWhat a joyful activity! More wonderful memory-making at Nana's house!
ReplyDeleteSo wonderful. I can almost taste (and smell) those fresh-baked with love loaves. And can just imagine Hazel's smile of pride when she presented her own loaves to her mom and dad.
