Campfire Cookies
It’s back-to-school time here where I live. I’m still trying to come to terms with the fact that my baby is a big kindergartener this year! He’s been my little buddy at the preschool I teach at, so this is a big change for us all. There’s been lots of nerves and big feelings, but…
Swiftie Sweets Series – Evermore
I’m going in a different direction with this week’s entry into my Swiftie Sweets Series. If you’ve missed it, I started this series a few weeks ago. In between orders, I’m challenging myself to attempt new techniques or recipes and create sweets inspired by each of Taylor Swift’s eras. I’ve made 1989 cookies, tried dipping…

Spider-Man: Brand New Cookies
Are you going to see the new Spider-Man: Brand New Day movie this weekend? I’m not the most up-to-date on most Marvel movies or superhero movies in general, but I have enjoyed the Spider-Man movies I’ve seen. So I’m sure this new one will be just as entertaining! To celebrate the new movie, I made…
Garden Cupcakes
This year has been a year of milestone ages for my family. My youngest turned 5 this past Spring, I hit the big 4-0 this Summer, and my oldest will hit double digits in the Fall! I’m feeling all the feelings that come along with all three of those milestones, especially the fact that my…

Gearing up for Back to School
Where did the summer go? I cannot believe we are quickly approaching back-to-school. My sons start in two weeks. My youngest is starting kindergarten, so it’s going to be a big school year for our family!! My preschool starts a bit later, but we start our teacher workdays soon. We stayed busy this summer with…
Sweet Woobles
Last week I was part of a cookie group challenge to create a cookie representing my favorite non-baking hobby. I chose to do a cookie based on my other favorite hobby of a few years – crocheting! For years, I had tried on and off to learn crochet. I worked a highly technical job and…
Hooked on Cookies
After a busy Spring with orders, I’ve had a little bit of downtime the past few weeks. During a lull from orders, I like to challenge myself to come up with new ideas and designs for cakes and cookies. It’s a little easier to do so with cookies, since I usually bake a few extras…

Pool Cookies
Last week, my boys took swimming lessons. They are both pretty nervous in the water, but made progress, and I was proud of them for sticking with it! To celebrate making it through the week and thank their very patient teacher, I made these adorable pool cookies. I saw a lot of similar types online;…
Have a Sweet 4th of July
A few weeks ago, I set up at a vendor market with my camping-themed cookies. While there, I got an order for these Americana-themed cookies. They were so fun to work on the design and make. I wasn’t sure how I wanted to do the stars; I tried a few different methods while prepping the…
