Flower arrangement of the Month: January
This year I’ll be falling for FLOWERS! What I mean is, that after posting a cookie of the month each month in 2024, I found that I enjoyed this little challenge of sharing something in a bit different category than crochet each month so this year will be a year full of monthly flower arrangements. This is also the year of my 20th anniversary with my husband, Dave. Early into dating, Dave knew that he had a “girly girl” on his hands and that every occasion is a great one for flowers. He made it a point to spoil me frequently with bouquets including a GIANT bouquet of Red and…

February Cookie of the Month: Berries and Cream Sugar Cookies
Cookies might be one of the best treats to make and share to send an unmistakable message of love. It’s definitely no secret that I love Berries and so this month, as we celebrate all things LOVE, I decided to add berries to the frosting for these delicious sugar cookies. I made them as a gift for my Valentines and took them around to share just like in the “good ol days,” when we left surprises at our loved ones doors, knocked and ran away to hide. It’s one of my favorite Valentines traditions, making a homemade treat to share with the ones that make our lives so great. So…

White Chocolate drizzled Gingersnaps
This year, I thought it might be fun to share a favorite cookie recipe each month. This will be mostly for selfish reasons, meaning I’ll get to make and EAT a batch of cookies every month for the sake of sharing the recipe. I have a cute, kind of old fashioned son who, if you ask him what kind of cookies he’d like you to make, he’ll almost always say, “How about Gingersnaps?” He started loving them as a chubby baby and the romance has continued. I love the way these Gingersnap cookies scent the whole house with warm smells of cinnamon, Mollasses, melted butter, Ginger, and Clove. A few…
