It's As Easy As That

---

The heart of little me…

Leapt for joy…watching a segment on the morning news…talking about the holidays coming up…highlighting gifts for the tiny ones…

And there it was…the toy of all toys…more than a toy even…a portal for the imagination…a confidence booster…a spend all day in the bedroom creating…

With the Easy Bake Oven…loved that oven of mine…tall…turquoise…those cute little baking pans…

Created culinary masterpieces…tiny cakes…tiny cookies…scrambled eggs…fried potatoes…lovingly made…heated by those two lightbulbs…served up on the plastic tea set dishes…

Hours and hours of imagination…pretending…not a chef…or a culinary artist…not a baker…or restaurateur…but pretending…to be a mom…

Because that’s all little me ever wanted to be…and what a blessing life has been…how thankful mama me is today…those Easy Bake Oven dreams coming true…

Those imaginary family times turning out to be exactly like real life…the best daughters in the whole wide world…years of talking…chatting…laughing…bonding…over meals…

And so it is…in life…let your imagination soar…follow your dreams…be whatever you want to be…start now…tomorrow…or 55 years ago…

It’s as Easy….Bake Oven….as that…
​
And those daughters of mine…agree…
