Sour Cream Cookies These are one of Claire’s very favorite cookies, and I’ve never made them before. My mom always makes them for the holidays, and Claire gets her “fill” of them at her house. She ate so many of them last year that her stomach began to hurt…definitely too much of a good […]
strawberry chocolate chip cookies
Last week we made our annual trip to the berry farm to pick strawberries. It was the perfect day to pick berries…dry and sunny, with a slight breeze blowing. We left the strawberry patch with over 20 pounds of freshly picked berries! I’m sure you can guess what happened once we arrived home with all […]
peanut butter overload cookies
If you love peanut butter, you will love these cookies! Seriously, there are three different forms of peanut butter in them…creamy peanut butter, mini peanut butter cups, and Reese’s Pieces. Peanut butter overload, right? These are the kind of cookies you want to make on a dreary, rainy day when you are cooped up in […]
rudolph pops
Of all the Christmas movies and TV shows, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer has to be my favorite! I loved watching it as a child, and I still look forward to it every holiday season. It is a fun night when it is shown on TV (although this generation can watch it whenever they wish because […]
marble cookies
When I bake a batch of marble cookies, they don’t last long in our house! My girls LOVE these cookies so much! First, the back story on these cookies…the recipe comes from a good friend of mine. This is her signature cookie. You know what I mean, she is known in our community for these […]
back to school brunch
It’s that time of year…the end of summer that some of us moms are sad to see come and others have been ready for since the first child said “I’m bored” back in late June. Yes, it’s back to school time! Last year, I thought if might be fun to host a Back to […]
minions
Those little creatures, the MINIONS, are riding a tidal wave of popularity this summer. They have their own movie, the featured toy in Happy Meals at McDonald’s, a spot on the Chiquita banana stickers, and many toys to promote themselves. We saw the movie a few weeks ago, and I fell in love with these […]
ballerina girl
It’s that time of year again…time for little girls (and boys) to show their families all they have learned throughout the past year while attending dance class. Some dance studios call it a recital, some call it a showcase, others call it a dance review. No matter what it is called, it is a time for […]
softball sweets station
My oldest daughter started playing softball in the third grade. She decided to join our community recreational league just to see what it was all about. I didn’t have a lot of expectations for her at the time…she had just quit dance classes and horseback riding that same year. When I arrived at the end […]
valentine sweets
I love holidays…ALL of them! Since it has been over month since the last holiday celebration, I thought it was time for a fun get-together for my youngest daughter and a few of her friends. We hosted a cookie decorating party. Of course it started out as a cookie party, but I thought it would […]
