Now that I am a mom it is my hope that I can share that same kind of magic with my son.  One of the traditions I always looked forward to was cooking baking.  Growing up we always made the usuals, but this I got to shake things up a bit.  Part of our homeschool curriculum required us to baked homemade gingerbread cookies.  I was equally scared and excited.  I am not a great baker, so you can imagine my concerns.  Well, this recipe was SO EASY and I only had to pick up one ingredients  from the store.  Camden (my son) was even able to do most of the work!
