As a busy mom, I love seeing adorable and delicious ideas like this…because this is actually something that I can pull off…that doesn’t require the skill of a surgeon or expert cookie decorator! (lol)

I sometimes get discouraged when I see all the amazing and clever ideas for holiday treats……and then realize that I’m just not that pinteresting mom. So I don’t even bother.

But then there’s this.

Simple cookie dough. (I can get behind that.)

Rolled in pink and sparkly sprinkles. (I need more pink in my life. And the boys will totally want to help with this.)

And they don’t take any extra time or effort to make. (I can easily fit this into our schedule.)

See where this is going.

Cute, pink cookies that I could actually accomplish in my busy day-week-Valentine’s Day!

And I hope you can too…..

Much love to you this V-Day! <3 <3 <3
