Cookies Made With Lovefreshly baked this morning by us :O)

My mom failed in many ways
as a mom
she is pretty good now
I can count on her
if I am truly desperate
but she is one of those people
that just wasn't cut out to be a mom
you know?

One thing she did amazingly well
when I was a kid
was bake cookies
I would often come home from school
to find freshly baked cookies

Our friends loved coming to our house
in part because there were very few (no) rules
in part because I think we were a friendly bunch
but one of the biggest reasons
were my mom's cookies

My favorite cookies
were her peanut butter Hersey kiss cookies
they weren't your ordinary peanut butter Hersey kiss cookies
you know the small ones with the one kiss in the center?
these were huge, with multiple kisses
they were always moist and chewy and gooey

Back in the day
I baked cookies just like my mom's
I baked for parties
I baked for new babies
I baked for new neighbors
They were always well received

But then came babies
and widowhood
and life in general
the baking stopped

My vision for a perfect snow day
was a cross between playing in the snow
and baking with the boys

This morning the boys and I made both of those visions come true
Cheers to a perfect snow day
