Happy 1st day of December you guys!!! Where did 2018 go?? We are on the last month of this year and that too my favorite month! We love Christmas soo much that we have been listening to christmas music since October (!!) , our Hallmark movie channel stays on most part of the days. The only time our TV plays something else these days is when it’s Aria’s TV time lol.
Pic #1 is of my SOFT & CHEWY GINGER COOKIES I shared here in 2015.
Pic #2 is of my DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES (soo thick & chewy!!) I shared here in 2016.
So this year I was really wanting to do a Christmas cookie box, you know where you make bunch of different cookies and then arrange them nicely in a box and share with your friends and family. I shortlisted 14 recipes which I wanted to do and share the recipes here BUT :
- I have a severe case of PROCRASTINATION!!!!
- I didn’t plan well.
- I am not organized!!!!
- I can’t seem to find my artificial lights even though I have some cookie recipes ready to share with you guys!! (We moved a year ago with our 4 month old and life’s been crazy since then.)
- The only time these days I get to work on blog is super early mornings like 3-8 AM when Aria is sleeping. I have so much on my plate these days as we have our own business in which I help my husband, I try to work on blog which has been super hard with our little babe, take care of baby, husband, our house, currently also finishing up christmas decorations and the list never ends!! Sounds familiar?!
Pic #3 is of my WALNUT BUTTER COOKIES I shared here in 2016.
