A Strawberry Cookie

Here is just a quick pic of a strawberry cookie that is going out today...

But it so gets me in the mood for summer...

Did I mention that I have 20 school days left...

Science Beaker Cookies

Science was never my best subject at school...

But these beakers would have probably helped my grade out...

These are favors for a college science grad...

and the colors coordinate with The Celebration Shoppe's science printables...

These are definitely not toxic...

Enjoy the celebration!

Preppy Pink & Green Whale Cookies

What could be happier than pink & green preppy whales?

These fit right in to my nautical weekend...

It was my hub's birthday and his request was that we go on the boat

as a family to our favorite island to splash & play...

When we got back to the dock...Goosie Girl, the inlaws and the dogs

went home while we were finishing up...

My part was done so I went to go sit on a floating dock 

to watch the manatees playing in the water...

I had my feet lightly splashing in the water

and lo and behold this giant, gentle sea cow came up to me...

Had I not been so startled, I could have reached out and pet it...

that's how close it was...

I was in awe of this creature...a manatee...an endangered species...

coming right up to me...it was amazing...

one of God's magical creatures just coming to check me out...

(Next time I'm bringing lettuce with me)...

I felt fully present and thankful for all of my blessings

at that point...

So you can see why these sweet little whales are right up my alley...

Making Things Happen Today

Guess what today is...

That's right...

the Making Things Happen Intensive...

A fellow teacher asked me today why I need a motivational conference...

It stopped me in my tracks and made me think...

Why do I need this?

I need this because it's time to motivate...

I need this because I haven't been living up to God's potential for me...

I need this because I haven't been surrounding myself with people of the same passion...

I need this because I haven't had the passion for a while...

and now...

it's time...

Time to rock and roll and get fired up...

Time to live up to my potential 

and surround myself with pretty and delicious each day...

Who says I can't?

Minnie Mouse Cookies and a Motto

My motto with most things is

I tend to run into trouble when I don't follow this...

especially cookies...

I kept these Minnie's simple...

and I think they turned out spectacular...

What do you think?

The embellishments aren't edible but I thought they were just perfect

(and easy to take off)...

These are definitely Sweet Goosie Girl's style...

Pretty and delicious...

Do you have any mottos that you can't live without?

Milk Bottle Cookie Pops

I made these pretties for Jen at Banner Events...

She's having a celebration this weekend...

A milk & cookies party with custom printables by Anders Ruff...

Won't these be a fun addition?

Thank you for letting Sweet Goosie Girl be a part of your day!

Soccer Cookies

It was our snack day this past Saturday

for Goosie Girl's soccer team...

I ordered white gable boxes from The TomKat Studio...

designed a label in our team colors...

and tied it up with a bow...

Inside I tucked in some healthy apples with caramel...

a gatorade with the same coordinating label...

and these sweet cookie treats...

The girls loved them...

An easy & inexpensive way to jazz up snacks...
