So I haven't wrote in a while.....

I know I haven't wrote a new blog in a while, but we have been doing SO VERY MUCH around the house and getting ready for this baby to come. I'm getting very excited and nervous about the next few weeks. I'm hoping they slow down for a while.....

Last Sunday I went over to my friend Debra's house and baked cookies and a few different types of candies. I would have to say it was something I could do over and over again. I love cooking and baking in OTHER people's kitchens. I think it's because mine is just too small :(! I'm starting to learn the ropes more and more from people though and it's making me get into it more and more. I'll try anything to keep my family happily feed though. No more store bought treats though, this momma will def. start making her own. THANK YOU DEBRA Y.

Here are a few differen't things we made on Sunday...


Dark Chocolate, Chocolate Chip Coffee Cookies



Melt away Cookies ... ( I like mine better when they are cold)
Here is the link to the recipe I used...

I really enjoyed these cookies however I might try another different type of meltaway cookies next Christmas only because they didn't quiet taste like grandmas christmas cookies :(!.

We made M&M bark with pretzels and Caramel, 5 Minute Fudge, and No bake Oatmeal cookies..
I think we might have made a few other types of cookies but I do not remember for sure. The only thing I can think is MAN my feet were killing me afterwards.

I can't wait to do it again though :)!

We also had our family photos done a few weeks ago.. However Summer is not in these photos. I will be taking her to get some while she's here.. :)! I'm pretty excited !!!!
