It’s almost been two hours since Ellie has gone down for her morning nap, so I’m here updating the blog! She’s been taking longer morning naps recently and I’m alllllll about it. Now that she’s consistent with her bedtime, I finally have a little down time to bake in the evenings when I still have the energy.
Even still, these are quick cookies to make because they’re from a box. Sometimes you just need a quick sweet treat, ya know? Plus, I love the fun colors from using blue velvet cake mix and the added large sprinkles.
I love that the nights are finally starting to cool down in Southern California and we don’t have to sleep with the air conditioning on any more. Hallelujah for saving a little on our electric bill! We’ve pretty much been running it straight since June. With the end of summer, I’m ready for all of the fall flavors coming up. Holiday baking is just around the corner!
