“It was so much fun to stop shopping for every member of my family, go to a beautiful home, eat a delicious brunch someone else had cooked for me, and laugh together hearing stories of how no one was ready for Christmas yet. And to top it off, I got to take home nine dozen yummy cookies I hadn’t even baked!”
“For me, it has been about the journey. As young mothers, our friendship began as neighbors who went to church together and had children of similar ages. One December, we shared a brunch and cookies we’d baked for each other’s families. In the 40 year journey of cookie sharing that has followed we have a priceless tapestry of life stories woven together in love. How grateful I am for the journey.”
