Heart shaped cookie cutter

My prompt is a heart shaped cookie cutter. I think this cookie cutter must have been used when she was making cookies and her and her children cut out the cookies together. Or maybe she made cookies and she used this cookie cutter to make heart shaped cookies for valentines day or maybe she just made cookies for her husband and loved ones. I think that making cookies with kids is a great and fun way to spend time with your kids, plus you are teaching them measurements and how to make cookies and how long to bake them. Its always a good idea to get kids involved in cooking and other things like cleaning out. My daughter is only 18 months and she helps me around the house a little. Mostly with laundry, i take the clothes out of the washer and i put a few small things on the lid of the dryer and she pushes it in, then she closes the lid to the dryer and i start it up. She thinks its a game and its a great way to slowly work them into always helping you clean. In fact sometimes she will clean up after herself, after she gets done playing with her toys sometimes she will put them back where she got them and when she does i clap and cheer so that maybe she will continue to do that. She doesnt do it very often but im working with her. I think that if kids start that kind of stuff really young they will always know its expected of them and they will just do it. My mom did everything around the house until my brothers and i were teenagers. By the time we were teenagers we were used to being lazy and having mom take care of us, so we had a hard time cleaning up after ourselves, and by that i mean... we just really didnt want to. Now that i live alone with just my daughter and i, i love things to be in their place and i hate clutter, im kind of ocd about all of it. When i still lived at home with my mom we would all make fun of her because she would totally freak out at how messy the house was and in our mind it wasnt that bad, now im the same way she was. Im not as much of a neat freak as her but i think that everything should be in its place.
