When I became a parent I was very excited to enter the world of mommyhood.  Children mean built-in friendships don’t they?  I was dismayed to find the world of moms often catty and unappealing.  I am a very shy person by nature.  However, my family would argue that point to the death.  The truth, is I’m resistant to change and meeting new people qualifies as change.  Every time we are asked over for a play date I fret.  Will I open my mouth and make a fool of myself?  What if my child behaves badly or has one of his signature meltdowns.  Small stuff, but  fret nonetheless.  You would think that with over 2 years of preschool under my belt that I would fret less.  Not so much.

This afternoon we attended a playdate at a preschool classmate’s home.  We’ve been trying to set this up for weeks, but well… I get distracted by shiny objects and it just hasn’t worked, until today.

I must say I had a lovely time and got to know what I hope will become a new friend.  Someone quirky like me (in a good way) and easy to talk to.  My son had a wonderful time and behaved himself nicely (despite the one near catastrophe).

Oh wait… this isn’t the mommy blog is it?  Darn it.  Bet you thought I got confused there for a minute.  I’m getting to the point.  Keep your pants on.

I mentioned to the other mom about my chocolate “business.” I went to pull out a business card (which I totally left at home) and while I was rummaging in my bag she handed me a business card.  It just so happens that this mother owns Trails of Crumbs Bakery.  Even better, she writes a blog too.  Honestly, what mom doesn’t write a blog these days.  I assure you, this is not a mommy blog.  It is a blog loaded with recipes and photos of delicious baked goods.  Check it out.  You can have a little piece of Tacoma delivered right to your door.

What does this have to do with gardening?  Nothing.  I just like cookies.
