cookies, cookies, cookies.

I've gotten away from baking. I've thought about the reasons why and so many things where factored into that decision. Back in '07 (I know!) I started a "cookie of the week". I did it for years. The kids loved it. And quite honestly, I really miss it. It doesn't take that much time to bake a batch of cookies a week. And quite honestly, are they really that bad for you? They're homemade for goodness sake. So, without pressure on myself to get a batch in the oven, I'm going to try my hardest to get back to baking.
The perfect little companion to knitting.
