Baking Day!




Hey! Mary Kate here!
Yesterday I spent all day at my church's youth retreat! My friend Zach and I gave a talk to a group of teens about our mothers going through breast cancer. People were very supportive of us and I would say that it went very well! We passed out the cookies with pink M&Ms and they were well received! While I was at church, mom baked the chocolate chip, M&M, and double peanut butter cookies. Sound like a lot? I know! I told her the night before that I would do the double peanut butter with her on Sunday but I came home to find that she had not listened! So today all that we had left were the snickerdoodles and one lonely chocolate chip dozen. It was pretty smooth sailing (much easier when you have two sets of hands to roll and coat with cinnamon sugar!) Then I went about setting up the dining room table for the pick-up station. We figured that we should deck it out in our favorite color, PINK! I put a picture below. Since the Miller family had a bunch of orders that they so kindly offered to deliver, we brought them over to their house in of course, Longaberger baskets, during half time of the Packers-Bears game. Since we had quite a few extra cookies of each kind, I decided to give each of this week's customers a number and randomly select one person to receive a "Lucky Dozen" filled with a variety of cookies! Congrats to this week's winner: Natalie Martin! Stay tuned for more updates!
