veryone knows that cookies are really good for the soul. Sloane’s been so sick this past week with RSV and pneumonia. It’s so hard to see your little ones down and out with these sicknesses. We’ve been to urgent care once and the ER once. The poor thing has endured a lot this week and being sick just sucks so much. Not to mention if you’re this sick for this long it can get your spirits down. I wanted to do something that would cheer her up and give her a little bit of energy. Sloane’s favourite thing to do is craft. She also happens to love cookies - so I decided this would be a perfect combination for her. I made sugar cookies and we decorated them together. Are these the prettiest sugar cookies you’ve ever seen? Definitely not. I don't know how to ice a whole cookie. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. But decorating these sugar cookies did fill Sloane's soul with happiness which I feel you can see here. These sugar cookies also happen to be my husband's favourite - they are his mom's recipe and I didn't dare attempt to make them gluten-free for fear of disappointment LOL!
