Kiss Me I'm Irish, I Mustache You if You're Irish Cookie Pops

I made theses as part of my cookie business. Super cute when you don't have a Shamrock Cookie cutter. 

Use your favorite sugar cookie dough and royal icing recipe. Cut the cookies a little thicker than normal so that cookie pop sticks can be inserted prior to baking. 

Happy Saint Patrick's Day from a freckled faced, curly headed, fair skinned,  half green eyed, and a slightly Irish gal!

Landry turns two

My one and only niece Landry had her birthday party in Rolling Fork this past weekend. Her mom, Lisa, did a great job with the decorations and the cake and of course, I made the cookies. She's one loved and spoiled little girl. LaLa and Uncle love her to the moon and back.

Show me the Dough Cookies

After my Christmas Cookie explosion and buying 101 Wilton Cookie Cutters for my birthday, I've started a small cookie business. I really enjoyed the "art" of icing the cookies and it will fill up my time between traveling with Paul to antique shows and selling antiques locally in Kosciusko and Ridgeland.

Currently, the plan is to sell cookies in the Kosciusko, Madison and Rolling Fork areas. I've got a delivery person for Madison and Rolling Fork is my hometown. Who knows one day I may ship cookies and have a website. For now, I've got a Facebook page and a big thanks to my cousin, Dru, for coming up with a name.

Now, I've got cookies to bake and a logo to create. I'm quite excited as I have a few Saint Patrick's Day orders and Easter looks to get really big.

My Valentine's birthday.

There are some occasional perks to being a coach's wife in addition to getting a lifetime supply of team/spirit t-shirts, dateless Friday nights from August to at least November, and a new stadium chair every season -- Coaching Clinic. 

Paul got to hear awesome speakers on the Mississippi Gulf Coast including, Mark Richt of Georgia. Me, I got to do some birthday shopping and I watched "Frozen" and "Saving Mr. Banks" and "Monuments Men." All great! In his off time from the clinic, we tried to do a little antiquing. It was nice to get away for a few days. 

We didn't celebrate my birthday with family until this past weekend and we celebrated my niece's too. She'll be two on Thursday!
