Christmas Cookies on a Sunday Afternoon and a few other things…. Saturday I took two of the grandchildren to see Santa and two of them were already there. This granddaughter really had a good time and enjoyed herself. However, her BFF and cousin who is a year younger, did not have a good time. She…
No Bake Cookies Ordinary makes me happy. Yes, ordinary. For example, the other day I received a card in the mail and it excited me. It didn’t sing or light up, it was just an ordinary card. It wasn’t only about the words in the card. You see, this card was handwritten. I couldn’t remember…
This weekend was Cookies with Santa. Fun, food, and children…my kind of weekend! FYI, the puppies belong to my son and need homes!
Just in time for Easter I found a southern sister who makes the cutest cookies ever! Her name is Telah Edwards Wren and her cookies are called Telah’s Cozy Cookies. I ordered some today and can’t wait to try them! There are some great reviews on her Facebook page so I’m betting they will…
Saturday night we grilled steaks outside. All 5 children were home as well as my son-in-law and our son’s girlfriend. Abby, our five year old granddaughter, was here too. After supper Rachel mixed up some gingerbread cookies with Abby. Rachel and Justin’s girlfriend, Jessi, helped Abby roll out the dough and decorate them. Basically all…

If the grandkids are coming to visit soon, you’ll want to have the ingredients for these chocolate dipped wafer treats ready. They’ll have so much fun making them! It’s the…
When you just can’t decide between two favorite desserts in the house, why not make both? The kids and I had a hard time choosing whether or not to make chocolate chip cookies or brownies, so I suggested a recipe we hadn’t made in a while. Chocolate chip cookie brownie bars are the best of…
Kind People My mother told me many times that ”kindness doesn’t cost anything” but doesn’t it feel like sometimes on our daily walk through life that kindness isn’t at the top of everyone’s priority list?

You would think that making a homemade pizza would be one of the first recipes the kids and I have tried. Strangely, we attempted our first homemade pizzas last week, and I can’t believe we didn’t explore them years ago! It must have been then unexpected burst of cold weather we got after Christmas that…
