I have professed my love for yoga on here many a time. Yoga is such a stress reliever and really helps me be a better more centered person. When I realized that yoga was "my thing" I was really excited because I don't really see myself as a "hobby/favorite pastime" type of person. I mean, I like hanging out with friends and family, reading and taking Frank for walks but those aren't really categorized hobbies ya know? I think it is hard to have hobbies as an adult and I didn't really like that. So when I found yoga and started doing it religiously I was excited to have a thing that I did. Well this weekend I solidified another "thing" that I like to do: baking!
In all fairness I have flirted with baking before but often became frustrated because I didn't have the proper baking tools. Case in point: the elusive double boiler! Well thanks to the lovely, generous people at our wedding, we have been gifted with all the essentials for a baking obsession.
This past weekend I busted out my trusty kitchenaid mixer put some Friday Night Lights on the computer (I just started season 4) and I was off and baking!
First I made some knock off Ding Dong cupcakes-they even had marshmallow cream filling and ganache for topping! I gotta tell you guys I was pretty excited about these. As I piped the white swirls on the top I noticed something, I felt really relaxed and had a smile on my face. I was practically whistling while I worked-I was having fun. Could it be that I found a second "thing" that I liked to do?
The next day I made some "pancake muffins" and realized that I did indeed find a new hobby!
What hobbies do you enjoy? Do you think it is difficult to have hobbies as an adult?

I'd say my hobbies would be photography and baking..I love them both pretty equally :)
I am also in LOVE with baking! I have some amazing cookie recipes if you are interested! I am also trying to master cake decorating because my dad bought me a really nice kit for Christmas! Glad you found another "thing" you love!
