Cookies 'N Moore

The Treat Tray of all my goodies

     I know it's only been a day or two here and there I've missed but there have been a lot more missed days lately. Sorry for that. I guess I can say I am officially a baker, in that I've had 6 orders for my goodies since the launch of Cookies 'N Moore yesterday! We'll see how it goes from here but I'm having a lot of fun.

Sure I love my writing too but the need for cash flow prompted the start of Cookies 'N Moore. And of course I need to give that a lot more love and attention than my blog here to be profitable. So sorry again in advance for my crazy cooking days that I just can't get to the computer.

    We are only a Facebook page right now but my husband assures me a website is best and in the works. The computer genius he is that's all his job. I'm loving mixing together new things to try out. It sucks when they're not perfect right away. Once they are it really is so good, and I become quite proud of myself. Of course then I can't wait for everyone to try them too! Rob has yelled at me about it being he's been so good with losing weight and going to the gym for a year now. I told him he just has to try one of each thing. If he goes back for more it's not my fault. That is also a key for me to know his favorites, when he can't stop himself from eating them!

    When we first started talking about it with the kids Emily was not too thrilled because she wanted the money from selling cookies. Like when they had sold them to the cars stuck being diverted up our street that time I guess. We explained how she will be getting the money in that we can go and do more things with it, like parks and dinners and clothes and shoes and toys she may not need but would want. I think she's all good with it now. The boys are good taste testers as they have completely different likes when it comes to taste. Jacob has been having the most fun with me in the kitchen. The choc. chip brownie bar we have came from me just trying to give him something to do to keep busy. This morning he wanted to make his own cookie with choc. chips and marshmellows. They tasted awesome but didn't look so good. So he's onto something there and that could be our new cookies soon if and when I get the chance to perfect it. 

     I am exhausted but who isn't on a regular day. I wanted nothing more than to come home after dropping Jake and take a little nap today. I don't know what it is but the drive to take him I'm yawning the whole way feeling like I could so easily fall asleep. But when he's gone is a good time for getting things done. Especially when there are no extras here today. I also had a dough I made up ready for baking after drop off. So I'm baking and writing at the moment what a fun mix for me. I long for a day I can stay in my pj's and watch all the shows my DVR has been piling up for me. Maybe this weekend?

     I can hope for that. I can also hope Cookies 'N Moore does well and I don't get that chance because I'm busy baking and feeling like I'm doing something to contribute for us. Either way it's all good. Besides I'll sleep when I'm dead right?

The Chocolate Mocha Cappuccino Cookie my own creation and my new favorite cookie ever!
