This is the 10th year I’ve hosted a neighborhood cookie party. It’s one of my favorite Christmas traditions. Everyone brings cookies and their recipe, we talk, eat, enjoy the evening and go home with a yummy assortment. Here’s the recipes for the treats that were brought this year. Banana Drop Cookies...
My blogging skills were lacking in 2016, but I did want to get back online to share the yummy cookies that were brought to my neighborhood cookie party. I love hosting this party each year because it helps get me organized and ready for Christmas … and I love cookies! 1. Cinnamon Snap Cookies...

I like to do a newsletter each year when I send out Christmas cards, but this year I didn’t get it done in time. Instead, I’m offering this blog post as a web version. So, in case you were wondering what we’ve been up to, here’s a year-in-review / family wrap-up for 2012.
We had a wonderful, blessed, busy Thanksgiving weekend. Here’s a not-so-brief rundown. The Thanksgiving break started with a piano recital. It can be a chore to get them to practice, and one child claims she hates piano, but both kids did a great job and were proud of their performance, as were we....
Sorry I haven’t gotten any posts out this week. Sandy came through and while it was milder than expected (in our area), we lost power Monday eve. Sorry I don’t have menu plan this week — we will be eating frozen, now thawed whatever in the freezer… but here’s a little of what...
Wowsers, where have the days gone? We lost power for about three days after the mega storm aka “derecho” blew through the DC area Friday night. Thankfully the power is back on now and we are re-acclimating to summer normal. Right now it means lots of camp and dive practices, but I should be...
