Next Great Baker(s)

We made sugar cookies today.  I still haven't found a recipe I like.  Ones I've tried in the past are too hard/crispy, even if I take them out of the oven early.  This time I tried a recipe I found on Pintrest that promised soft, thick cookies.  They turned out way TOO thick.  I started rolling them thinner after the first round came out of the oven and that helped but they still kind of puffed up and were too pillow-y.  But there are tons of recipes out there so I'll keep trying different ones until I find one I like.

The girls really enjoyed decorating them.  They used an entire jar of sprinkles.

 
 

 
A few sprinkles, anyone?

You are a brave mama to let loose with all those sprinkles! I know your girls had a blast, though...and what awesome memories!

Hope you're enjoying this holiday season!

Transfer Anniversary

Today is the 5-year anniversary of my embryo transfer!  5 years ago today I became pregnant with my girls (I wrote about it in more detail a few years ago).  It was a Saturday that year, also. Olivia and Kayley at 3 days post conception (wish I knew which one was which): And Olivia and Kayley 5 years later: That photo is actually a few weeks old.  I tried to take one for today and this is what I ended up with: {Sigh}

The Girls' Room

So it's kids' rooms this week at Kelly's Korner Home Tours.  Unfortunately, we haven't finished the girls' room make-over.  We recently transitioned from toddler beds to twins.  I would have loved to get bunk beds to save space, but the twin beds were given to us by friends of Paul's parents so we're making do.  They were wood-colored (oak, maybe?) so we painted them white.  It was challenging to figure out how to arrange their furniture because of the alcove/nook thingie on one side.  I couldn't do the obvious two beds perpedicular to the wall with a nightstand in between configuration, so I had to compromise. There are lots of finishing touches still to be done.  We need to replace their dresser, get a nightstand, put up a shelf (ledge) or two and some wall art, and curtains.  We're also going to paint.  I've had my heart set on purple for a long time, which is why I chose this bedding with some purple but not too much, but now...
