Small and Simple Things

I'm having an ornery day.
Just ask my husband or any of my kids, they'll tell you it's true.
It's days like today, that I wish my frame of mind could easily be persuaded by any little thing that might soon make me forget that I was ever even feeling like this. 

Take for example...

We had to do a little surgery on "Violet" the dog the other day and it seemed to
be a little bit stressful for one certain 2-year old. 
She was ornery.

It took a few minutes (yes, only a few) and "Violet" was back to her singing self.

What it means to Lila... Pure Happiness

She is my daily example of sincerity, happiness and love. I can't quite pin point the age that they lose this innocence and start trying to act to much like adults, but I hope she can hold on to it for as long as possible. I know it's selfish of me to say, but I need it.

 Alma 37:6  
Now ye may suppose that this is foolishness in me; but behold I say unto you, that by small and simple things are great things brought to pass; and small means in many instances doth confound the wise.

Last the "Best" of All the Game

Boy, it sure feels good to have completed this self inflicted project, and yes, I've saved the "Best" for Last.

"Best Chocolate Chip Cookie" 

Yes, that really is the name of the recipe.
It is my FAVORITE!! NUMERO UNO!!
I've always loved Chocolate Chip cookies, but have never been satisfied with how any of the recipes that I've tried turned out. 
One day I was introduced to this particular recipe and I've been in love since. I always add walnuts to mine, but then again I've always been one of those "sometimes you feel like a nut" type of gals. 
  Did I mention, I LOVE this COOKIE!
Oh, and this little Cookie below as well...
I just had to share- Without fail, as soon as she'd hear the Kitchen Aid roaring each day, 
Lila would be right there with her little spoon saying "Mama, some".
