As you’re reading this the hubs and I are in NYC. I’ve pre-written this post so you’d have something to read while I was away. Today I’m talking cookie exchange! Does anyone have a cookie exchange party to attend this season? I’ve never participated in one, but they sound so fun! You bake one type of cookie and come away with a bunch of others + recipes. Here are some of the cookies I think would be the talk of the town.
This counts as a cookie right? It’s technically cookie dough and candy and is brought to you by The Pioneer Woman. Make a lot, these never last long. Ree shows you variations, but my favorite is peanut butter cookie with Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.
Last week while I was buying wrapping paper and gift bags for Christmas presents I also bought Christmas cards. As I picked out a card I thought, do people still send cards in the mail? Growing up we would receive cards from December 1 to January 1 (all those procrastinators heehee).
The past two years I sent out cards for free through Paperless Post (see them below). Some of their cards require you to pay a minimal fee per card sent, but I make sure to select cards that will be free. Then your card makes it family and friends’ inbox right on time!

For our first Christmas as a married couple we had our wedding photographer take our photo and I printed them at Walgreens. Came out cute, but took a lot of work. 2011 and 2012 I mailed traditional cards without photos. Maybe when the hubs and I have kids I’ll be more interested in doing photos every year, but until then I think I’ll keep sending a few cards by mail and then e-cards to everyone else.
