I got a great idea from Pinterest for a bridal shower treat.  I was looking for some decoration ideas and instead came upon these "tushy cookies." It looked like a pretty easy craft.  All you needed was a heart cookie cutter, then once you cut the heart, you chop the pointy point off and turn it upside down to create a tush shape. I had been talking to my sister-in-law all day and mentioned these to her.  She admitted she wasn't 100% loving the idea at first but she came around and said she would help out.  Friday night we went out to dinner with my family and as soon as we got home we got started on baking and decorating.  It was a whole family affair.  Carrie and I baked and decorated, then got Katie to help out with the decorating.  It looked like so much fun that Brett decided to try it out, and then Chris gave in to temptation and created his own masterpiece.  Although you can't see it really well in the picture, due to Dad's request, I did do one modest pair

I'm not writing this post because I cooked a fancy, extravagant meal. I didn't. I am simply writing this post because I cooked. Go ahead, judge me! I know it is something I need to work on, but in the meantime I am going to celebrate every success! Tonight I made parmesan tilapia with cheesy rice and grilled asparagus. It's an easy meal but I love it!

Ok, so I had to squeeze one more craft in before my two week break is officially over. I made these invitations to my best friend, Abby's bridal shower. They turned out cute, and hopefully are the close enough to her colors (there are like 50 different ideas of what "robin egg blue" looks like on the Internet).
