Have A Cookie!

I know that there are a million claims to the best chocolate chip cookie recipe.  And I don't know if there coupld possibly be THE very best one but around here my aunt Chandra's recipe is pretty popular.  It is my friend Lindsay's birthday today so I packaged up some of these yummy goods just for her. {You should be able to eat as many cookies as you want on your birthday.} If you are in the mood to try them out I'm posting the recipe just for you!  Oh and last night we tried sprinkling the dough with sea salt before baking...  Um.  YUM!  Adds a whole new level to how good these cookies are.  So whether you are trying out this recipe or using your own and you go for that whole salty/sweet thing, I highly recommend adding a little sea salt to your cookie!

One other cookie tip!  I cream the butter and sugars for 3-5 minutes.  After that I only mix until incorporated.
What are your cookie tips?!

... and going to church in my pajamas.  Twice a year my church {that would be the LDS Church} holds a General Conference.  It is broadcast from Salt Lake City and thanks to modern technology I get to enjoy listening to our prophet speak from the comfort of my home.  As I was trying to find the link online to stream the video on our TV I found out that it will even be streaming on Facebook.  If you are interested in checking out conference you can find it streaming HERE or HERE and here is the facebook link...

{fancy that you can even watch it right here!}

Have a fabulous weekend!

Very Very Pinteresting

Do you ever see something online that you love?  And then when you try to find it again it is impossible? Well let me introduce you to my new friend...

After a year of avoiding it like the plague {who needs ANOTHER distraction?  Definitely not me.} I finally asked my friend Shannon for an invite to Pinterest.  Want to know why I love it?  Because if I see something that I want to make or that I love all I have to do is click Pin It {you add it to your tool bar} and it saves it for you.  Then instead of trying to find a project over again its bookmarked for me.  I just click on the picture and back I go to the original site.  Genious I tell you.

The addicting part is the most beautiful imagery you could ever imagine.  All in one place.

But my very favorite part is all of the inspiring words. I know this one is kind of funny but I love it so much!  Pinterest is definitely *hayppysigh* worthy.  And you should definitely check it out.  You won't be sorry I promise!

Help A Sister {V & Co} Out!

Do you remember Vanessa from V & CO?  And her rad houndstooth quilt pattern that she so kindly gave away a couple of weeks ago here?  I'm sure you do, and I'm guessing most of you have looked at her blog at one time or another. 

 Well, yesterday she posted that her husband just got laid off. Ugh. Just those words "laid off" make my heart sick.  So don't you think we should help a sister out? 

Head on over to Vanessa's shop and get that houndstooth quilt pattern you wanted.  Or her super cute Abby bag pattern.  She's even selling fabric bundles which I'm sure are to perfectly paired together.

Isn't that cake so cute?! Seriously.  And if you can't decide which pattern to get?  You should probably get them all.  Cuz really won't you be so happy sewing all of your new projects knowing that you helped out a great girl in a scary time?  I'll race you over to the V& Co shop.

Oh and don't worry if you don't sew either.  She's got some super rad bracelet and decor patterns that don't require you to touch a machine either!

And lets get the word out eh?  Can you imagine if everyone bought a pattern?!  Gives me chills and makes my heart smile.
