Lately-

 I know!

My posts are few and far between.

I post frequently to Facebook and Instagram (daily).

Sorry.

Here's whats been going on in my kitchen--

I took some time off after Easter because I cranked out soooooooo

many Easter cookies that I needed some time off to just do FAMILY stuff.

Gender Reveal

these were to announce to coworkers what she's having.

A BOY!

I bought a plain white frosted cake and added the decor. 

I love doing this!

Someday I'd love to be a cake decorator (I don't want to bake them).

The above "casino" cookies were for a young fella turning 80.

He enjoys spending time at the casino.

Just some fun springy cookies.

These were for a young lady who turned 17.

She's a swimmer, a dancer, and iphone lover!

That's all!  

Please check me out on Facebook or Instagram.  

New Minis

Ya' know I love minis.

The crew over at Truly Mad Plastics has some really cute ones to choose from.

My new favorite is the elephant!

Someone PLEASE order some cute mini favors 

with elephants!

RUNNER=ATHLETE

 I'm not a runner.

Never have been.

When my daughter was around 12 years old,

I was surprised when she tried out for the Cross Country team at school and 

DID REALLY GREAT!

She is a natural!

Maybe she took after my "mind" 

because in my mind I always wished I could be a runner!

She now runs at her high school and says that she'll ALWAYS be a runner!

I've learned a few things about running and runners-

Runners are strong, and have stamina!

They run in a variety of environments and that is the challenge!

Hills, grass, dirt, dessert, cold climate, hot climate--they can run in all of it!

They enjoy running long distances and their body is like a well oiled machine!  

Amazing!

They are competing against their own time and want to get better with each race.

If they shave 4 seconds off their previous race time, that is a WIN!

Although they compete as a "team" in high school,

there is a fierce tiger in each runner who wants to be the BEST!

Or maybe beat a "friend" right at the finish line.

Shoes matters!

If you don't have the right shoes, it just won't workout.

What I've learned to appreciate is that runners are true athletes!

Running is hard on the entire body, 

and requires strength, stamina, and perseverance!

PS-Parents of a runner can get "crazy"!

Not me, just sayin'.

Go Yankees!

 I feel so blessed that people ask me to create cookies that hold a special meaning to the receiver of the cookies.  

First Last Game
