Sorry for my last short post. Let me catch you up on what’s been going on in my life.
I’ve had a busy, busy week. I worked a 4 day trip (ORD-SEA-JFK), where my parents tagged along on my 22 hour layover in New York on the last day. In one morning, we went to the top of the Empire State building, visited Central Park, went to the Natural History Museum, and even had time to sneak in some Shakeshack for lunch. This was all before noon!
They were planning to stay the weekend in New York, but since the flight loads weren’t looking very good, they came back on the plane with me to San Francisco to spend the rest of the weekend.
It was the first time my parents came to visit me up north and I loved having them here! My DB was in a frantic cleaning when I told him my parents were staying for two nights, but I will admit, he did a good job.
They flew back to LA on Monday, but I also started another 2 day trip then, meaning I’ve been in the air non stop for a week. Let me tell you, being in the skies is really tiring on your body. I came home today from my trip and slept for 6 hours and I’m already getting ready for bed again for tonight. Yes, I can sleep for 14 hours in one day. Who knew?
These are a fun and festive cookie to make for birthdays and celebrations. Who doesn’t love sprinkles in their cookies? You could easily make funfetti cookies from a box, but it makes it that much more special when it’s from scratch. I wouldn’t say these taste like the funfetti cookies from the box. They’re more like those butter cookies covered in sprinkles that you get from the grocery store bakery. Reciep from Yammie’s Noshery.
