Well, I have found my thing that I LOVE.
First, let me tell you. The first two and a bit years of marriage Cory and I lived in a apartment. It was nice and new when we first moved in. THEN we had a baby.... and then we had another baby. All of a sudden there was baby stuff everywhere. My stroller had to stay in the entry way because there was no other place for it. So in the entry way also consisted of my kitchen and laundry closet. The stroller sat right in front of the dishwasher. So, in order to load it I had to move the stroller... and in order to open my fridge door all the way, the stroller had to be pushed to in front of the oven, which was also in front of my main counter. My main counter faced the cabinets. Needless to say I often felt claustrophobic in my kitchen and therefore I chose not to really spend much time in there. The thing is that I LOVE cooking and I LOVE baking... and I actually am really good at it when I apply myself or have the time.
ANYWAYS, so the other day was my sister in law's birthday party. I was so excited because I was making the cake and THIS was going to be my first real baking experience in my new kitchen WITH my new Kitchen Aid Mixer!!!!! (PTL for a great deal on the shopping network, and a husband who ACTUALLY wanted a mixer just cause they look cool! Ha ha!)
The Kitchen Aid Mixer is AMAZING, I love it.... but you know what I love even more... the special pull out stand my cabinet guys recommended. Oh my word. LOVE IT. The mixer weighs a lot eh! SO THIS pull out makes it SOOOO easy and even give me that little extra space! Anyways, its the little things is life that make me GIDDY. I'm so giddy about it I can hardly type correctly right now.
So now I am in love with baking again. My cake turned out wonderfully. My decorating skills could still use some majour work however. *grin* I made a white cake with lemon curd filling and coconut icing! (Thank you to Aunty Ruthie for the wonderful inspiration.)
Oh happy day for me. (*smile* I sing that song to JJ and he always echos "Happy Day"... which just made me smile thinking about it.)
Thanks for stopping in!
Love, Love!

A peak at my other favorite item in the kitchen:
I love the kitchen aid mixer. I can't wait to start using it once we are done with the reno's. Your kitchen looks beautiful. You should post a picture of the wonderful cake.

I've always wanted a kitchen aid mixer (mom has two) however no room but that's a great idea the pull out stand. Looks like it does sure makes it easier.
