Chocolate chip cookies are my favorite.  They are simple, classic, and delicious!!  These cookies were my pregnancy craving the last trimester before Thing 2 joined the family.  I made  a batch of cookies almost every week.  Sometimes I shared, sometimes I didn’t.  I made them, I do what I want.   I can make this [...]

Alas, I realized my little monster would most likely tear up and abuse his new friend.  What do you expect? He’s two. But I love to read and my books deserve their own monster bookmarks. I [...]
