Talking in Parenthesis

Ramblings and angst from a mostly stay at home mom

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us. It is in everyone. And as we let our light shine, we give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. -Nelson Mandela

Christmas Cookies

Okay after looking through my cookbooks, I have made my list of cookies to make for Christmas. Although I am still somewhat handicapped by the fact that my very best cookie cookbook was borrowed and never returned by a friend 2 years ago. Okay here is the list.
Elfin Shortbread Bites
Coconut Cashew Bars
Sugar Cookies (decorated)
Gingerbread Cutouts (decorated)
Coconut Macaroons
Toffee Bars
Chocolate Crackle Tops
Melting Moments
Toll House Cookies
Oatmeal Scotchies
Peanut Butter Blossoms
Ranger Cookies
Fudgy Cappuccino Crinkles
Sweetheart Cookies
oh and of course fudge
I am aware that this is a lot of cookies, but bear in mind, not only do I have 6 kids but these are the gifts for teachers and friends this year. Also the best way to keep me from eating cookies is to bake lots and lots of them. By the time I am done I am soooo sick of cookies I don't eat any of them. Of course I can't say that about the fudge.
