cookie party ~ my favourite kind

Cookies ...really is there any other comfort food that is so .....well comforting? There is nothing finer then splitting a warm cookie in half,as the chocolate drips onto your finger..waiting to be dipped into a wide glass of milk! I bet that homemaker in Massachusetts back in 1929 had no idea what she was about to do for all mankind when she accidental stumbled upon the chocolate chip cookie.... really just before the dirty 30's and the "crash," there was the chocolate chip cookie~ a little light before the darkness!

My girlfriend Tasha, she could be one of those homemakers who invents the next "chocolate chip cookie", so she sends out an email inviting a few of her friends over. She will provide the dry ingredients, if we bring the wet and all the 'fun' stuff that makes cookies become unique. Already I love this idea, good friends, good laughs.......

good food and a bunch of cookie dough to bring home for our freezers..... oh ya that is my idea of a great 'cookie exchange' (we can bake them at our convenience)

Love this one of my butt.....I had an apron that covered all of me ...except my butt (ironically the apron was perfectly clean xoxo)~ yes that is MY hand print in flour

Council of a great man........

I have just been introduced to this new world of 'blogging'..... with the intent of listening to the council of a great man...Pres. Eyring. " I wrote down a few lines every day for years. I never missed a day no matter how tired I was or how early I would have to start the next day. Before I would write, I would ponder this question: “Have I seen the hand of God reaching out to touch us or our children or our family today?” As I kept at it, something began to happen. As I would cast my mind over the day, I would see evidence of what God had done for one of us that I had not recognized in the busy moments of the day. As that happened, and it happened often, I realized that trying to remember had allowed God to show me what He had done. " His experience has helped me to understand the importance of recording my everyday 'Miracles' however great or small, In the hopes that one day my children will grow and recognize the hand of God in their own lives
What a great opportunity for us...let the games begin..........

women who know

Words to Live By....
"Mothers who know do less. They permit less of what will not bear good fruit eternally. They allow less media in their homes, less distraction, less activity that draws their children away from their home. Mothers who know are willing to live on less and consume less of the world's goods in order to spend more time with their children- more time eating together, more time working together, more time reading together, more time talking, laughing, singing, and exemplifying. These mothers choose carefully and do not try to choose it all. "Sis. Julie B. Beck ( Conference October of 2007)
