One Of My Greatest Accomplishments

As you may or may not know, making chocolate chip cookies is NOT my thing.

Pretty much every time I make them they either turn out like this:
Yup, a sad pile of cookie mess that has to be scraped off of the cookie sheet

Or just kind of hockey puck like.

But since they are the only cookie I really like (other than snickerdoodles.  Why do I never make snickerdoodles?), plus it is the best cookie dough ever, I try to make them at least twice a year.  This time I had a success.  In case you are doubting the believability of my chocolate chip cookie fails, I present the following conversation:

After he got home and tasted them (and by taste I mean ate like six) he told me I should blog about it LOL)
To make these cookies I used The Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe from Betty Crocker.  I omitted the nuts.  And I didn't use the full amount of chocolate chips because I like eating them so some were missing.
 

Hadlee helped me make them
Oh my goodness, look at this delicious looking dough.  How I manged to save any of it for actually cookie baking is beyond my comprehension :)

Soft, edible chocolate chip cookies!
It is pretty ridiculous how proud I am of these cookies, I really feel like I should never make them again, and quit while I am on top.

    If I liked chocolate I'm sure they would look yummy! They look like they are cooked to perfection. I love snickerdoodles. Next time we get together we should make some!

    Have you ever tried oatmeal cookies with chocolate chips? It's like the best of both worlds for me!

    Although snickerdoodles with chocolate chips might be mighty tasty...

Breastfeeding An Adopted Child - The Tenth Day of Christmas

Today we are hearing from Teglene.  Her story is pretty long, but trust me, it is totally worth reading through!  She also has a great blog, called The Breastfeeding Mother . I always knew I wanted to breastfeed my children. I couldn ’t imagine doing it any differently. I was lucky enough to give birth to two beautiful boys and I enjoyed breastfeeding them both. Not that it was easy or without struggle, but it was what I wanted to do and loved doing it. In fact, I liked it so much, and felt so passionate about breastfeeding that I became a La Leche League Leader, so that I could help other breastfeeding moms. I really took to the idea of “Mothering through breastfeeding”. It wasn ’t just a feeding method for me, but a relationship with my child. My husband and I always talked about adopting a child who needed a family. We thought, if we can’t have kids of our own then we will adopt. Even if we can have kids of our own, maybe we will still adopt. After the birt...

Manipulatives Monday GIVEAWAY from Mother Goose Time - closed

Giveaway closed! Thank you so much to everyone who entered, I really appreciate it! I have excellent news!  Today is Manipulatives Monday, and Mother Goose Time  is giving away a great prize!  One lucky winner will receive TWO bags of manipulatives!  Mother Goose Time will chose the prizes, but I assure you, whatever they send will be a lot of fun for your children! Manipulatives are a big hit in our house.  Every month we get two new bags of manipulatives, and every month Little Guy asks if he can play with them before the month starts.  The answer is always no, but he tries every month anyways.  During the month we use them for the assigned activities but after we are done with the curriculum, I let him add them to his toy collection. One thing that is in almost every box is a set of counters.  These are often in the shape of animals, which are Little Guy's favorites.  They are used for a variety of activities, and are alwa...
