Life Lately

Yet another week has come and gone…it’s just crazy how fast time flies, isn’t it?!

We spent some time with Molly over the weekend! We enjoyed exploring the yard while uncle helped fix up her daddy’s bike. She was such a helper!

Tilly has been loving the weather and our daily walks WITHOUT snow! Look how precious!

One thing you may not know about me is that I love to bake. Specifically I love to bake cookies…I got that from my Grandma Jean who baked cookies almost daily!

Over the weekend, I made THE MOST AMAZING snickerdoodle cookies EVER! Seriously…THE best thing I’ve ever put in my mouth. I’ll link the recipe below!
