Memorial Day

It's Memorial Day and it continues to rain and keep us indoors.  Maybe it will give us time to reflect on what today really is about.  In my life I am so lucky to have so many that have served and they have all come home.  So today I remember  I remember those who didn't.

On Saturday I had two kids asleep and that NEVER happens.  So what does one do when when that happens? Make cookies of course.  I had seen this idea on Pinterest and a tutorial on how to do camouflage royal icing and thought I would give it a try.  It's a lot harder than the tutorial gave on. 

I hope everyone enjoys their day off and remember those who gave all.

Gigi's Playhouse Golf Outing

Yeah we made it to Friday and it was a beautiful one at that. Tonight we had a Pinterest win with a copy cat recipe of a Wendy's frosty. Tonight was a night off from cookies, ball practice and school events and instead hung out with my future bakery co-owner .

 I hope the golfers get great weather for the Gigi's Playhouse golf outing tomorrow. I just put the finishing touches on some cookies for the silent auction.  For any one who doesn't know Gigi's is near and dear to our family.  Find out more about the golf outing here.

If I wasn't so tired I would test out the new cookie cutters that arrived in the mail today. I'm thinking Father's Day or as Caleb just informed me they would make some good Handy Manny tool cookies and some some beach themed cookie bouquets.

Next up is a cowgirl cake for an adorable 1 year old.  Thanks again for looking and here is another picture of the graduation cookies. I am loving the cookie-fetti!!! Cant wait to put some of those in treat bags, how cute would that be? Would love to hear from you if I ever get the comments section to work.

If a dog can blog so can I

So it occurred to me while watching the Disney channel that if a dog can blog maybe so should I?  Maybe this is the perfect avenue for all my cookie nonsense. I've been trying to get business cards made up but I look at the preview and think what about this would make someone order cookies from me? So now I have a blog that I can refer people to. Now I can put my cookie adventures here instead of flooding my facebook page.  We'll see how it goes and if I can ever figure this out.

This week consisted of 8 dozen graduation cookies for the daughter of our beloved babysitter.  She picked the right school. GO HAWKS!

Another 2 dozen going to the Gigi's Playhouse Golf outing to be up for bid for silent auction.  Those are currently drying and details to be finished up tomorrow.  Those will have to be blog post #2.  Maybe by then I will have had time to add more pictures and spruce this thing up.  With no cookie orders next week I have to find something to keep me awake until midnight.
