You know when I write most of these posts? When I should be in bed. It’s so quiet and there are no interruptions at midnight. A lot of times I can’t sleep anyway, because I am usually thinking about cookies. Not kidding. It’s a sickness. Who cares about the exhaustion, when there is coffee waiting […]
I finally got the cookie mojo back last week and began some Easter holiday goodies! Of course I am quickly running out of time to get them all done, but I will do my best to accomplish as many as possible. I do not own a KopyKake (yet!), so my lettering always lacks the perfection and […]
I recently took part in a cookie project called Operaton Cookie Takeover. The group was looking to send donated cookies to the U.S. troops in Afghanistan and their goal was to collect 1,200 of them to distribute to a base there.

I will admit that I just took down a very small Dept. 56 Christmas village that had been on my mantle since just after Christmas. Don’t judge.

I will admit, I haven’t seen a single movie nominated for an Oscar tonight. Heck, I don’t even know all the actors that will walk the red carpet. I am always a little out of the loop involving pop culture with no cable and lack of a sitter for going to the movies on a […]
This is a pretty momentous occasion for our household. In the past not so much, but this year it’s a bit more noteworthy. This Friday will be the 100th Day of School for my boys, and being the new kids, that is something to give a little cheer about! It hasn’t been the easiest road, […]
My son came home from school a couple weeks ago really excited about a rap he learned in music class, based on Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech.
