When we are baking for one of our farmer's markets it is a hectic day to say the least. We usually begin the day between 4:30 am and 5:00am. The little girls are up and ready for the day by at least 7:00 am.
Baking days mean that we will have to keep the children occupied so that we can concentrate on the oven, breads, cookies and packing for farmer's market. I am sure that anyone with children reading this entry can appreciate the juggling and compromise that has to take place in order to get all tasks finished and ready for delivery.
Thank the Lord for the beautiful weather. Blessed, glorious days of sunshine and cool even temperatures. Everyone takes turns, helping their mom watch the girls outside. We call it 'tag team babysitting.' While one bakes another is with the girls.
All the work gets done, the van is loaded on time and the little girls have had someone's undivided attention the entire day. Though market days are hectic we love going and seeing our familiar customers and meeting new ones as well.
In a family it is the working together to accomplish a common goal that provides the highest satisfaction. At the end of the day we can relax and prepare for tomorrow's agenda. The famous last words in our household have always been, "What are we doing tomorrow?"
