It’s almost the weekend … Thank the Lord! Saturday is usually the day my husband and I have our date night (sometimes we stay in, other times we get out). Not gonna happen this weekend I’m afraid. This Saturday will be extremely busy … it will be on the verge of chaos. Moving day – a necessary evil. We need the space in the new house, but it’s just getting all our stuff there! There’s the sorting … the packing … the unpacking … the resorting … finding new homes for all your “stuff” … this is the time I wish I could be like Samantha on “Bewitched” … just wiggle my nose, and poof!, it’s all done. A girl can wish, right?!?
After this weekend, I may need something to help me smile …
Snickerdoodles are one of my favorite cookies … the name alone makes me smile! These little gems are nice and soft … reminiscent of a sugar cookie … but a little bit spunkier! I love the smell as they bake – apparently, so do my children 🙂
