Black Crow Studios update!

Thursday, July 4, 2013

OMG--it's pretty much all I can say.  Our custom ordered Black Crow Studios watercolor canvases arrived last week.  To say I am in love is an understatement!!!



I cannot say enough good things about my experience working with Black Crow! Tracy, the owner, sent me several renderings and choices of what the art work would look like before we made our decision and in person it was exactly what we thought it was going to look like!    I took forever to make a decision, but she was so kind and patient with me and as soon as I pulled the trigger, she was on it and it was shipped in no time!  

I have always loved this long hall in our house, but now I actually admire it. If you are looking for beautiful, affordable, unique, bold artwork, you need to check out Black Crow!

I saw this on Facebook a moment ago---How great is this?!?  

Sunday Cookies

So as you will come to learn this about me--I am a stickler for knowing what ingredients are in the food I feed my family.  I am not the person preaching on Facebook, but I am the Mom who returned all the mainstream Easter candy (think Snickers and M&M's) the night before after reading how much crap was in there.  I rely a lot on Trader Joe's for boxed/processed items (think cereal bars, crackers, etc).  Madeline, my daughter, LOVES the TJ's version of Oreos and we were all out, so I decide to make chocolate chip cookies last Sunday.  

I found a great new recipe on Pinterest that I cut in half.  They taste really fantastic and I highly suggest this recipe!!!  The blog I picked the recipe up from could prove to be danger, FYI :)

It calls for chilling the dough and shaping your cookies taller--genius idea!


Madeline watching the progress :)


Finished product---super yummy!!!  The texture and flavor is so rich, you can have one and feel like you had dessert.


What is your favorite cookie recipe???
