So, I have a little story to tell you. It’s all about the time when I made cookies and sent them to other bloggers. Sounds fun, right? It was all part of The Great Food Bloggers Cookie Swap of 2012. When you are baking for other people, other bloggers especially, there is a slight bit [...]

Simple Joy {Recipe: Rainbow Tie-Dyed Sugar Cookies}
Is it possible to find happiness in a cookie? When that cookie is a Rainbow Tie-Dyed Sugar Cookie, the answer is a resounding yes! There’s even more joy found when the whole family gets in on the action, piecing off dough and contributing to the giant, multi-colored log of psychedelic cookie dough. Makes me happy. [...]
My Simple Valentine {Recipe: Soft & Chewy Vanilla Butter Cookies}
Pin It If you haven’t noticed by browsing Pinterest or your favorite food blogs lately, Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. It seems the entire internet has erupted in a fit of red and pink!

In this day and age of elaborate kid parties, parents determined to outdo each other and hyped up hoopla, take some [...]
Spring Optimisim {Recipe: Hot Chocolate Cookies with Marshmallows}

An Ended Love Affair (Recipe: Hershey’s Toffee Bit Cookies)
It was great while it lasted… I know it was only yesterday that I was claiming my true love for all things snow. Yes, I threw around the word “Happiness” and how I was “present” with my kids. I even said “beautiful” and “Kansas” in the same sentence, which I believe is a first for [...]
Gingerbread Family Christmas
I have a sick little one this week, so most of our normal Christmas traditions have gotten pushed to the wayside as we simply try and keep up with getting her well before the big man in the red suit shimmies down our chimney. One such tradition is our annual Christmas picture, which hasn’t gotten [...]
