Best Sugar Cookie Of Your Life!

No, really, you will LOVE this cookie!

Many many years ago, when I was a young woman living in Utah, a local bakery Granny B's sold

this same type of cookie fresh daily at the gas station checkouts.

You just grabbed your cookie right out of a 9x13 pans sitting on the counter, 

not individually wrapped.

Yeah, super sanitary, right?

But they were SOOOOO good, no one cared about the germs.

A big pink cookie and a HUGE Diet Coke and I was set on breakfast!

Blizzard To Sunshine

As you can read from a previous post, these girls have been nothing but the greatest 

BFF's for the past 15 years!  

I love them dearly!  

Shelly and Janeal live in Utah, where I used to live.

We were neighbors, friends, and co-crafters for such a long time!

I love that they come to visit me here in Arizona every year!!!

This year they visited the end of March....while it was blizzarding in Utah!

We enjoyed nothing but sunshine and perfect weather while they were here!

Oh gosh, I love Arizona this time of year!

So usually the first item of biz is a mani/pedi!

The Arizona nail shops are super awesome!  I've never been this spoiled in any other state!  They offer free drinks {ahem, sodas and water} and have many extras with pedis that I've never seen anywhere else.

Pretty much the highlight of their visit was that we spent two days and one night in Rocky Point, Mexico {Puerto Penasco}.

It's a super special place full of great memories for my family, and now Janeal and Shelly love it too!  I think this is their third time there {we went last summer and two summers before that}.

It's beautiful!

The beaches are incredible!

The food is divine!

Have you ever had Mexican pastries right out of a brick oven?

Then you haven't lived!

What To Do With All Those Hard-Boiled Easter Eggs

If you're like me, you have a huge bowl of boiled eggs left from Easter sitting in your fridge.

Are you thinking, "What am I going to do with these?"

Don't throw them out or let them go to waste, cuz there are a few good things you can do with them!

A Sparkly and Fun Easter!

First and foremost, to us Easter is a religious and family holiday.

We celebrate the Savior.

We celebrate our wonderful family.

We celebrate spring and the newness and beauty of everything around us.

I love Easter!
