We each made cookies and then swapped. Lots of cookies… And I wondered why I couldn’t find a parking spot at the gym the other night… it’s like everyone is already feeling guilty for all the goodies consumed!

That’s a great question…the question I tossed around this weekend. And honestly, I didn’t come up with a clear conclusion. Instead?! I created cute, creepy, delicious little Halloween treats. So if I don’t win the costume contest, I will still be the most popular – just have to win ‘em over with the sweet treats. [Read more >>]
