Hot mess days keep us humble! You had so much more patience with the baking goofs. I would have thrown a quarter cup of flour in the first try and hoped for the best!😂. Benjamin is a great little helper.

[@carolynmangipudi9898]

Haha Lisa I would have too. I would have tried to figure out some measurement extra for all ingredients...I have done it & usually it results in success....I can't bring myself to throwing out unless there is no saving it.

[@jnbond]

Same with trying to add more dry to balance the wet. Mama said there’d be days like this! 🤗💕

[@joylieu52]

I would have added extra flour too and added extra icing 🥴

Same! I really rarely follow a recipe exactly so no problem! Haha! Precious moments with sweet Benjamin. Worth all the goof ups! ~Cassandra

[@rachelletaylor4215]

Yes, thinking the same thing to just add a little flour to compensate for the extra liquid. I've made many mistakes when baking its all part of it. Love Laura and her family.

Who hasn’t messed up a recipe? That’s just reality. I’ve been cooking for a loooooooong time. Couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve flubbed up. So proud of you for not giving up ! Love that you didn’t just slice and dice the video and leave out the mistakes and say “Tada! Perfection as always!” New cooks and gardeners need to see it’s ok to make mistakes and you don’t hide when you do. Mistakes can teach you so much. Not everyone on KZbin is so transparent. This is why I love your channel.

Beautiful example of accepting our human imperfections WITHOUT DRAMA. Such a great role model for Benjamin & the viewing audience. Thank you, Laura for dealing with mistakes in an adult way.

Watching you bake with Benjamin brought back so many wonderful memories of my son and I. I was the divorced mother of a three year old, living in a new and unfamiliar city. It was me and him. He was my world and I was his. His favorite was applesauce oatmeal chocolate chip cookies (say that three times fast 🤭) and we made a pile of them over the years. He would stand on a stool drawn up to the counter much like Benjamin. His little hands doing their best not to spill the ingredients before they made it into the bowl. Watching you and Benjamin brought back those memories and the emotions of a young mother who was determined that her little boy never catch on to how frightened she really was. He is now almost 40 with a beautiful wife and four adorable children. Thank you for sharing those moments. It goes so fast. Be Careful not to blink. 🥰 💕💕💕

[@OMGitsaClaire]

I have a strong memory of baking gingerbread with my grandma as a teen. I loved cooking and my parents were pretty busy so while they indulged my interests with plenty of ingredients and the opportunity to cook, they didn’t really help out. My grandmother also loved to bake so I enjoyed going to her house and we would bake side by side while she gave me tips. I wanted to try making gingerbread. We ended up baking the recipe out of the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook which I remember being pretty straightforward while she told me about gingerbread at Christmas parties when she was a little girl. She passed about a year later and I’m so happy I have all of my baking memories with her. I know Benjamin will have all kinds of wonderful childhood memories with you and your mom to treasure when he’s all grown up. That’s the best gift you can give him.

[@truthlover464]

Your whole life is richer because of those memories! Bless you, Claire!

Oh Laura we all have days like this especially in the kitchen. The most important part is the time spent with your sweet Benjamin. I would love the Bellini recipe. I have a couple bottles of LaMarca sitting on my counter also.

Hi Laura Aaron and Benjamin ! The joy in life is often those little imperfect perfect moments. Thanks for sharing one of yours! Honestly though I don't watch your videos for only "garden answers" I love following you because of the real connections to you, your life and your family that you share with all of us. It's inspiring and fun! Just keep on keeping it real and I'll keep on coming back! Love love love having my coffee in the morning with all of you! Cheers!

I agree Laura, perfection ! 💗 The seasons have just been amazing transitions!!! So abundant with beautiful blooms and foliage & lovely weather 😊

I know this is a garden channel and you like having garden related content, but I love this content as well! We just moved to a new Army base and had to sell our house and currently living in a small apartment until our new house is built. So with this content I get to live vicariously ☺️, feels like I get to escape the apartment for a bit.

My husband and I really always watch your videos while having breakfast. We enjoyed this one and started our day with smiles. It kept it real. Thanks

Oh my gosh my heart! The way Benjamin says Beverly and that Jesus made the chicken 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰💕💕💕

[@ivysantiago1572]

Benjamin solved which came first. 🐔 or 🥚 My heart melted when he said, Jesus. Bless him 🥰

[@ineedmickey5170]

Where does the chicken come from? “Jesus”. . . 🥰🥲😇

@@l.m.4014 yes....beautiful!!

Just another reason why you are our morning wake up call. Down to earth and real as the morning sun! Benjamin is such a bright spot in all our lives who have raised a little one in the kitchen who has grown up and away from home. Wishing you lots of “hot mess days” they are usually the ones that are remembered the most.

[@be_you2023]

I recently posted something of the same sentiment on my IG account: “I just got called ‘hot’. Actually, the full statement was: ‘you’re a hot mess’ but I’m only focusing on the positive today”. PS: You will perfect the gingerbread by Christmas in less than 8 weeks... but first Happy Halloween.

Best comment!

[@jennygirl8849]

Oh my goodness...I giggled (with, not at) because I've had many baking "glitches" over the years so I actually really loved this video! How sweet Benjamin is, I remember when my son was his age (he's now 39). Thank you for making the world a better place with your beautiful smile, family and excellent gardening skills & knowledge. God Bless ❤

Real life happens to all of us and you handled it like a champ. Benjamin is such a funny goofball, in the best way…yawning while you were talking cracked me up. The containers turned out beautiful! 😊🧡🍁

Laura You already know you’ve taught us so much about gardening. But I don’t think you know you’ve taught some of us future mothers all about parenting too. I’ve learned so much from watching you with Benjamin: patience, encouragement, how to engage them in real life activities, how to spark their curiosity and shape their character. And how to model godly living for them. Truly, I’m taking mental notes and carrying them with me into parenthood.

[@jenniferchristian3803]

Laura, you bring such grace and gratitude to all of us…and Benjamin well he’s just the icing on the cake! Thank you for giving me positive moments to look forward to everyday.

Oh my gosh! I thought I heard an angels singing sound effect when she was talking about the fluffy arb! I think it was a train whistle in the background, but it cracked me up thinking that someone edited a heavenly choir sound in while she was talking about how beautiful the arbs are!!

[@juliafiore120]

Good morning, Laura ☕️ That’s the difference in baking vs cooking. You can’t fudge anything. Looks delicious 🤤. The importance of Aaron when filming 😂 however, the arbs look amazing! Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈

[@vjohnson2400]

Benjamin just makes me smile, just so darn cute, he’s high on life - good job. Little oopsies are just part of life.
