Happy New Year

December 31, 2011 by

Happy New Year!  I wish each of you a blessed year and I truly thank you for following me this pass year.  For me, 2011 was a stressful year.  I’ve spent the past 6 months helping to nurse my premature granddaughter, and it has just worn me out.  I am thankful to say that she now weighs a healthy 8lbs. 10 ozs. 

I’ve decided not to make any resolutions for the new year, but just to live life and play whatever cards are dealt to me.  I will say that I’m starting my new year on my treadmill.  I will strive to be healthy and to bring lots of give aways to my readers, write posts on my grandchildren and continue to give my opinion on what’s happening in the world. 

If you have any suggestions on what you would like to see on Mother 2 Mother, please leave a comment.  If you don’t have any suggestions let me us know what you wish for or will be striving to accomplish in the new year.  Blessings!

Reindeer Christmas Cookies

December 14, 2011 by

I found this adorable Reindeer Christmas Cookies at Super 1 Food and had to share it with you.  My grandson and I are lovers of peanut butter cookies and we will be making these for Santa this year.  I love surfing the internet and finding great ideas that I can share with my grandson and readers.  We discovered a live feed to watch Santa’s reindeer after school, and these cookies are perfect to bake and enjoy while we’re watching them.    

Ingredients:

  • 18-ounce package refrigerated peanut butter or sugar cookie dough
  • 48 small pretzel twists or thin pretzel sticks
  • 48 brown M&M candies
  • 24 red M&M candies

 Directions:

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Place the cookie dough in the freezer for 15 minutes, or until firm.

Cut the dough into 24 slices and place the slices 2 inches apart on large, ungreased cookie sheets.

Pinch in each side to form an hourglass shape. Position 2 pretzels on top of each slice to form antlers. Create eyes with the brown M&M candies, and noses with the red M&M candies.

Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden. Remove to a rack to cool completely.

Yield: 2 dozen

Fabulous Baby Finds – Milky Dot Jacket and Hat

December 13, 2011 by


I found this fabulous Milky Dot Jacket and Hat at My Baby’s Closet and just had to share it with you.  I love the softness of the Milky Dot fabric, and thought the jacket and hat would be adorable on my granddaughter.  Both come in sizes newborn to 24 months.  The Jacket is $26.00 and the hat $17.00, both excellent prices. 

I dropped both in my cart and they’ll arrive just in time for me to wrap as a Christmas gift for my granddaughter.  Stay tuned for more Fabulous Baby Finds from Mother 2 Mother, I’m shopping until I drop!  Did I mention that I’m doing it from the comforts of my home.  That makes it even better.
