Late Re-Cap of My Fireworks Cookies!

Well, I'm a little lot late on this post but hey, better late than never right? So I tried out the wonderful cookie recipe I found on the ever-intriguing Pinterest for fireworks cookies. Let me tell you, SO easy even for a novice baker like myself! I followed the exact recipe found here. Her recipe is practically fool-proof, but I would have added a few more sprinkles has I had some leftover. My husband (a huge sweets lover) loved them, and they were quite the hit in Highlands during our stay there for July 4th! See below for my version vs. the Pinterest version. 

My Latest Baking Inspiration

Let's try this again...

 

It's  been quite some time since I last did a blog post, but reading others' always inspires me to try and be better at blogging! Tomorrow we're heading to Highlands to celebrate the 4th of July and my father-in-law has asked me to bring an appetizer and something sweet for the cookout on Thursday. So, while browsing Pinterest and Google images I found a sweet little recipe for "Firecracker Cookies".  It seems pretty simple and the results look like they will be super cute. I'll try to do a follow-up post with the recipe and how mine actually turned out vs. the pinterest version!

Mid-Week Blues

It's Wednesday yet again! Not a busy week, only one exam, but I can't help but wish the week away!! There was music in the library lobby today and they were playing Jamaican steel drums... ahh, the lull of the turquoise water and white sand beaches. Can you tell I'm a bit ready for summer?

Lately, I have been questioning whether or not Law School is the right step for the next phase in my life. I don't want to put in all the money to register w/ the LSDAS and for the LSAT if it's not really for me. I have always loved my summer job in sales @ Cook's, so I have been explorig some sales job in which I could actually use my major. One thing high on my list is medical equipment and devices sales. If anyone knows someone in this field that would help me decide if this is the thing for me, let me know :)

Here's hoping for more sunny days like yesterday!

XoXo,

ps. here's a picture from our latest Highlands trip!
