Mothering Many

Some hysterically funny moments just don’t translate well into print, but I feel compelled to try, considering that .. weell, it was really funny, and resulted in the purchase of a new domain.

So, Diva and Country and I were cleaning the kitchen this afternoon, and Country was pretending to brag on herself for cleaning the counter. I played along with her game and said something about bowing down to her for her awesome cleaning skillzzzzzzzzzz. Well, Diva had her back to us putting flour in the canister and I guess she didn’t realize we were playing around, and she started getting offended, and asked what about all she’d done. So I made some crack about her cleaning and she was still miffed, so Country and I started giggling. I finally asked her if she realized that she was jealous because I was picking on her sister. So then she started giggling, and so I admired her for her “slenderocity” and then. And then, Country, she said, “oh, it’s like travelocity, only for slender.” And then I said, “OH SNAP, I am so buying that!” And I did. I imagine Diva will get it for Christmas.

Now onto the cookies! I got a package the other day from the fine folks at Reynolds. Now, I am not quite sure how they knew this, but I love a tin, so I was especially thrilled when I opened the box to see this :

Wicked cool, right? Wait until you see the inside:

Recipe cards, invitations, party tips and a sample pack of their parchment paper! I had talked with a friend of mine about co-hosting a cookie exchange, but we haven’t ironed out all the details yet. Let’s see, I have 8 sheets of the parchment paper. What if we do 8 days of cookies? I’ll post 8 cookie recipes/tips/ideas between now and Christmas. Sound good? Okay, works for me, too. And no, this doesn’t count as the first one–it’s a freebie, LOL! Look for the Christmas Cookies category to find the goodies.
