Christmas Music & English Bulldog Shaped Sugar Cookies

To get into the holiday spirit, Bumble Bee and I played Christmas music this weekend, while baking English Bulldog shaped sugar cookies. Well, I baked, while Bee was nestled all snug in his bed, while visions of sugar plums danced in his head.  🙂

I found this adorable English Bulldog cookie cutter on Amazon last week and I immediately had the urge to bake sugar cookies.

Here’s how they turned out. Definitely gives a new meaning to the saying, “You’re so cute, I can eat you!”

I thought this cookie looked the most like Bumble Bee. The rest of the batch looked slightly overweight or almost hippo like. LOL!

Hope you’re all enjoying the holiday season so far!

Peace & Inspiration

“Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”

“Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.”

so thankful to each and every person in my life for making me feel gratitude on a daily basis… my husband, my pup, my family, my friends, my yoga instructors, my clients, and even the people i walk by on the street that simply just smile and say hi.

happy thanksgiving today & every day!
