Let’s talk cookies (the sugar kind)!

Hey, friends, who’s looking for something fun to do on a shut-in Friday afternoon? Tomorrow I’m taking a little break from writing to host a group chat about making cookies! Specifically – making sugar cookies. If you’ve known me long or follow me on social media, you’ve probably seen a number of cookie posts. At 2 p.m. (central time) tomorrow, join me on my author page, and we can share tips and tricks on making and frosting these sweet treats! #socialdistancing

I’m not a baking professional by any means, but I’ve been doing this a few years and people often ask me questions about my recipe, the process and my frosting techniques. Thought it might be a fun thing to do while we’re all hanging out at home! 🙂

Hope to “see” you there!

A little spring cheer!

Well, March Madness didn’t happen, and neither did a spring break trip. For me, this time of year is normally heavy in the sports department. Often, we’re in California watching tennis at Indian Wells. At the same time, we’re frantically searching for a place  to watch the basketball games, KU Jayhawks in particular. We’re checking our brackets, enthusiastically circling our wins and sadly crossing through the teams that didn’t make it. Not this year. We’re doing our part to social distance, stay home, and get through the coronavirus crisis.

But, before everything went crazy, I did have the opportunity to make a quick dash to Dallas and enjoy a little splash of spring. The flowers are already blooming there! I can always count on a nice day and flowers to bring some cheer. Here’s a peek at some of the sights at the Dallas Arboretum. Enjoy!

Wishing you all a safe and healthy spring.
