60 Ultimate Cookie Exchange Recipes {and When It's Time to End It}

If you're looking for a winning recipe for your holiday cookie swaps, then scroll through this round-up  of 60 Ultimate Cookie Exchange Recipes on Taste As You Go!   Do you ever get That Feeling in your gut when you realize that what once brought you happiness now fills you with dread? You know the one... It's That Same Feeling that causes you to ask yourself repeatedly " Why am I doing this again?" I've been trying to battle that super persistent feeling for the past few weeks by giving myself little pep talks: "Don't give up now. You DO want to do this!"  "Don't you remember how much you used to love doing this? Just keep going!" " Do it one more time and you'll see -- everything will be fine. You'll feel much better once you get it over with." But no matter how many times I tried to get excited about it, I found a reason to avoid doing it. (Thank you, Caroline.) That's when I knew it was time to e...

The scene late Thursday night...

I discovered (once again) that it's probably best if I don't drink cold brew coffee after dinner. I wanted something cold but didn't want another glass of water. Thinking nothing of it, I fixed up a tiny glass of cold brew. Shortly after that, I felt the charge of caffeine starting to run through my body.

Realizing my error but not wanting to waste the sudden burst of energy, I set my sights on my to-do list.

Last weekend, I jumped on an Old Navy sale and ordered a bunch of school clothes for our 5yo. She'll have to follow a dress code this fall, and I didn't want to wait until the last minute to buy clothes. To my surprise, the order shipped right away and arrived today... so I spent some time putting labels on everything after the kids were in bed. 

Then came the laundry. Oh, the laundry! Naturally, that meant I had time to do something else while waiting for the cycle to end. So I used the time to put together a new batch of Tidbits for you to read at your leisure.

Enjoy!

  1. I bought this frame and this easel stand for the embroidery project I completed for my 40 Before 40 challenge.

  2. Our 5yo gets to explore the United States thanks to this gift from the kids' grandparents.

  3. I can't wait to see whether these eye masks work. *fingers crossed*

  4. In further preparation for school in the fall, I bought these face masks for the kids. The adjustable ear straps are a plus!

  5. Although I have a pretty good sense of what our family's favorite meals are, most of my recipe organization is electronic, which makes me think it might be worth doing something like this to help streamline my meal planning.

  6. These are hard times for everyone, especially kids. So this article about helping kids thrive during the pandemic was helpful to me.

  7. I started using this site to support local bookstores while buying books online.

  8. Speaking of books, our 3yo received this book from his grandparents for his birthday, and I absolutely love the message. It's a wonderful read for any age.
