TOP TEN RECIPES | AUGUST
This week I am, “The Not-So-Fresh Cooky” haha!! In fact, I am the “stale” Cooky! Do you ever have weeks like that? Lacking creativity, a little depleted or life is plain ol’ B-U-S-Y? I know you have weeks like that, I am not alone in my claim to having a full life, so I know you will give me grace this week.
JOIN THE FRESH COOKY ON PINTEREST
Many of you may not know that along with this blog (and being a wife, mom, daughter, friend, volunteer, etc) I am also a small business owner and while I’m slowly weaning myself from aspects of this business; however, I have occasions where I need to dive in. I work mostly with non-profit organizations and I coordinated a fun event on Wednesday that has kept me busy lately.
When I sat down to write my post for the week, I had nothin’. Eventually I chose to give myself permission to skip this week and instead bring you my Top Ten Recipes | August.
Happy Labor Day to all of my US and Canadian friends! May you find time amidst the labor to restore your souls!

Thank you my friend!! Trying to keep life real!! Because it’s “just me” no staff behind the scenes!
This looks far from stale to me Kathleen! I absolutely understand the difficulties in keeping motivated when life is so full. Thanks for being so honest and real!
Thank you Tasia! Appreciate your encouragement. I sat at my computer and wrote the beginning sentence of my ice cream post for over an hour – knew I needed to move on! Lol.
