Recipe: Chewy Country Cookies
One of the best holiday gifts to give – cookie mix in a jar! They’re fun to make and even more fun to receive. Mix it up for a baby shower with pink and blue m&ms, or orange ones for Halloween…even all red for Valentine’s Day. Bakerella has inspired me and I was struck with the creativity this project can offer…soon I hope to come up with brownies in a jar. What You Need 1 Ball jar – or an 8 cup mason jar –…

Photos: LA Zoo
LA Zoo Our visit to the LA Zoo in early October – we got there at 9:50 and were greeted by flamingos rushing towards us! So fun. This Koala is such a cute little site…he climbed on the roof of his structure. He got stuck and it took him about 5 minutes to try and figure out how to get back down – it was my favourite experience of the whole day. Plus, seeing a Koala makes me think of Sheldon Cooper and his Koala…
