Back to school Apples!

As a teacher, I like to take the time to thank the teachers that work so hard with my own children each and every day.  

I made these apple thank you cookies and boxed them up for the kid's teachers.  Each of my children made a card to attach to the box and I hope they enjoy them! Teachers are such an important part of my kid's lives and I'm lucky that they have such amazing teachers! 

The Very Hungry Little Caterpillar!

My kids have always loved Eric Carle's books and one of their favorite is The Very Hungry Caterpillar! 

I was excited to make these fun cookies to help celebrate Drew's first birthday! 

This little guy is eating his way through the day! 

I made a few special "1" cookies for the birthday boy! 

Happy Birthday, Drew! 

School's out for Summer...School's out Forever!!

I have been a teacher for the last 11 years and I still have many more years of teaching ahead of me.  I often wonder what it will feel like when I'm retiring and school is out forever.  

I made these sweet apple cookies for a school retirement dinner! Such a nice way to send off a colleague who has dedicated her life to teaching! Happy Summer! 

Time for School!

A friend of mine wanted to give a little gift to her teaching staff to show them that she appreciates all their hard work.  So I put together some big apple cookies and then lots of bags of mini apple cookies! 

The mini cookies are a great and cute bite sized treat! I hope everyone has a great school year! 

 

School is Cool!

My son is about to start kindergarten and next week is his orientation.  I thought it would be nice to give his teacher some apple cookies to wish her a happy school year.  Since I'm a teacher myself I understand how nice it is when parents and students reach out in a positive way.  I hope she enjoys these! 

These minis are the perfect little treat!

 I individually wrapped up these cookies and packaged them in a nice box! Happy School Year!

I Love Fall

This past fall we drove up to Connecticut for a family reunion.  It was great to see family that we hadn't seen in a while and it was a great opportunity to make some fun fall cookies! 

The small tray above went to my work friends.  We had leaves, pumpkins and red and green apples with chocolate chip rolls outlining the tray.

The tray below went to the reunion.  The Sugar cookies were gone in a second! 

Hungry little Caterpillar

When my son was "Marvelous Me" at his preschool I came in to teach a lesson.  We read The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle, made a caterpillar craft and then they feasted on these fun butterfly and apple with a caterpillar cookies! 

 See the little caterpillar on there - I love that!

 One of my favorite quotes, "Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a beautiful butterfly."
