Happy Friday Eve!
One of my favorite blog friends, Kelly from Keeping up with Kelly & Co., calls Thursdays Friday Eve and I just love it... It makes the weekend seems so much closer, don'tcha think?!
Before I start with today's topic for the Blog Swap I thought I'd share these SWEET pictures of my little man.
1. Because he's the most adorable thing I've ever seen and
2. Because I'm a proud mama
He is way too cute and I just had to share!
Back to the Blog Challenge...
Day #4's topic:
For Valentine's Day I {LOVE} to bake/cook...
For Valentine's Day I {LOVE} to bake/cook...
When I first read today's prompt I laughed out loud because the first thing that came to mind was the heart shaped meatloaf outlined in red ketchup that my mom used to make for us every year for Valentine's Day--and yes, I'm being completely serious. Thankfully for you I will not be sharing that recipe today...
*love you mom!*
One of my favorite things to bake for Valentine's Day are heart shaped sugar cookies.
My very favorite recipe for sugar cookies is
Ethel's Sugar Cookie Recipe.
