Scary cookies

My Superman LOVES sugar cookies. Especially cut-outs with butter cream frosting. If you've ever made them before you know they are lots of work, so I only make the once in a while and usually for a holiday.

I know I am a bit late in posting these but I wanted to go ahead and get it up before I started with the Thanksgiving day recipes start.

I was given this recipe from my friend Annette. They are by far the most delicious cookies. The dough is very sticky so keep it cold and use lots of powdered sugar when rolling them out. AND DON'T OVER BAKE THEM.

Annette's Wonderful Cut-Out Cookies

Mix together:

3 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1t. baking powder
1t. salt
Mix well and set aside

Mix together:
8oz. cream cheese
1c. butter
1egg
Once blended well gradually add
1 1/2c. sugar
1t. vanilla
1/2t. almond extract (I've also used butter flavoring)

Mix flour mixture with cream cheese mixture, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

Roll out 1/2 in thick and use your favorite cookie cutters.

Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.

Once they are cooled frost with your favorite frosting.




Because every cookie goes better with a cup of Joe.

The Wild Women of my life

What happens when 16 women from different states, backgrounds, and generations come together in an amazing house for one long weekend? One Wild Weekend! I think any woman would be excited to have a weekend away. From schedules, requirements, stress, and laundry:) I look forward to this week almost as much as I look forward to date night with my Superman. This annual trip for me came about when my friend Cindy told me I was going with her. This is Cindy and her loving husband Tim: Isn't she just beautiful? Since, this is my blog, and Cindy isn't here to dispute it, here is how I remember the story's beginning. Cindy is my friend and was my girl scout co-leader. We met at an info meeting for scouts and I asked her to help me out with the troop. Because I am a bit of a control freak, I wanted a co-leader to be a fun lady who would have a blast with the girls, and do what I needed done. Which was basically show up and go on fun trips with us. Cindy is...

Baby laughing!! Short teaser

I have been wanting to blog about becoming an empty nester for almost a year. I want to not only create a place for me to look back on to see what we did in the early years of our newly found freedom, but also to encourage other women who are in the same nest I am(or soon will be) "I'll have so much more time"    "How will I ever fill my days without my girls here?"    "Will my superman and I get bored with one another?" I truly thought I would have more time!!  2016 was a heck of a year for our family from beginning to end! I hope to share so much with you in my posts from fun adventures we took, crafts we did, restaurants we tried, heartache we endured, and how to make to most of life on a daily basis.  One thing I have found to be true...I don't miss all the laundry
