Baby Sugar Cookies (and an announcement)
I was pretty excited about these baby sugar cookies. Partly because I love how they turned out and mostly because I have some pretty exciting news! I am having a baby this Christmas!

Feather and Dream Catcher Sugar Cookies

I actually made these cookies quite awhile ago, but I have been waiting to post them because I think they are so perfect for Valentine’s Day. I actually made them for a book club that I attended. We read the book Daddy Long Legs by Jean Webster. It was written in 1912 and it was…
Christmas Break Recap: Amazing Chocolate Cake and Snowman Sugar Cookies
For the past three weeks I have been visiting home. I grew up in a winter wonderland: Welcome to the new year! If you are like me, you are probably thinking back on all the treats you ate during the holidays and thinking of ways to eat better this year. I usually eat pretty healthy…
Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies
These Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies remind me of Christmas cookie exchanges. One of the best parts of the Christmas season as a kid was getting treats from all the neighbors. The doorbell would ring and my siblings and I would scream and run to the door excited to see what treats would await us. We…
