HAPPY NATIONAL SUGAR COOKIE DAY
What a “sweet” day this is for sure! Baking and decorating sugar cookies is one of my favorite things to do. I grew up doing this with my mother, carried on the tradition for my children, and now do this for my grandchildren.
Here is a previous blog post I did on decorated sugar cookies and the recipe I have used for many years. Sugar Cookies for all Occasions
Have a great day and hopefully eat a sugar cookie with someone you love
BABY-SHOWERS…MODERN DAY TRENDS
I believe that everyone will agree the baby showers of today are nothing like what we had with our children. They were hosted by a close friend or family member and consisted of serving cake, punch, and finger foods; playing games, and opening gifts. Men did not attend the showers.
It is common now for the expectant parents to both attend a cook-out or dinner to celebrate the shower.
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY
I LOVE to make decorated sugar cookies for my grandchildren.
My kitchen has been a busy place baking cookies and making these cute little candy treat bags. The candies and cupcakes are lined up for the task.

I mail a box to my grandsons in Colorado and North Carolina. I add some Valentine window clings and it is a fun, inexpensive treat from grandma and grandpa. The other children live nearby.
Decorated sugar cookies are always a sweet treat that make everyone happy. Here is my recipe Decorated Sugar Cookies
Fix a little treat bag of cookies and deliver to a co-worker, a neighbor, the mailman, or any special person in your life.
