Last week I mentioned The Stupid Cookies. I still have been thinking about those cookies. Not in a I-want-more-cookies type of way. But more of a it-is-good-to-learn-control type of way.  For me, it has always been a moderation issue. I never learned that one cookie or one piece of candy is usually ok but not six cookies or half the [...]

Last night, my youngest daughter asked me to bake cookies with her. Well, I had no chocolate chips in the house. So I told her that we would bake them today. Early this past spring, we had friends over to our house. They brought these amazing chocolate chip cookies. Chris & I both thought they [...]

OK. It has been a long day. A really long day. It is going to be a crazy next seven days which includes a car trip to Colorado with my sister and her two days. You are overwhelmed. You are stressed. You are tired. Not to mention the dinner that you had tonight wasn’t all [...]
