Patty's Chocolate chip cookies


   

      Who doesn't love a delicious chocolate chip cookie! Of course nothing goes better with fresh baked cookies than a nice cold glass of milk. Obviously i'm a fan of milk being the wife of a dairy farmer. Plus the health benefits of milk make me feel better about the fact that the cookies are not the most nutritious thing I could be eating. There are so many different recipes for chocolate chip cookies and I have tried many but this one is hands down the best I have tried. A few years ago a family friend made these and I wanted the recipe. She was kind enough to give it and I hardly ever make any other kind. Don't freak out when you read the ingredients it makes a lot of cookies and its more than worth the calories. They freeze really well so if you if you can't eat them all or just need to not have them always in sight like we do you can stick half in the freezer to pull out later. I have also made the dough and froze all or some of it. It works out great if you find out your in need of a snack or dessert last minute just pull out the dough let it thaw and its already to put on a cookie sheet and bake.
Enjoy!

           As I look around my house toys are everywhere, shoes are strewn about, hats with names of seed companies hang on chairs, and another load of laundry needs put away. I can't help but hope and pray someone doesn't show up at the door, on second thought who cares. It's the middle of harvest and the last few days my house has been a revolving door. Between carpool drop off and pick up, lots of little kids in and out, a husband stopping in to grab lunch not having time to take his shoes off, and milking cows,  keeping my house completely free of any toys or dirt is literally impossible. No matter how hard I try.      The week ended with a bang. Corn was combined, stalks shredded, bailed, stacked away, and the smell of freshly hauled manure filled my house, despite all the candles burning. The kids took turns riding along with Blake and time spent in the barn with me.      Savannah was kind enough to point out several...

IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR

     Fear, unknown, constant changes. Not words I typically think of when talking about going back to school. Never did I think I would consider homeschooling, but I found myself doing just that. I have the mindset to do what works best for your family and children. Nothing against homeschooling and props to moms who can do it, but for us, that was never something we considered before. While realizing I'm so blessed to be in a spot where I can be home and choose from any of the options our district gave,  it was not an easy decision to make. Once we made our decision guidelines changed and once again we found ourselves wondering if we made the right choice. With some offering in-person, or online a combination of both, or online only its overwhelming. I feel so much for families who both parents are working full time, for the teachers and administrators who have to constantly change things and make decisions only to have to turn around and change things again. Not to...

Hopeful and Healing

     It has been a crazy few weeks to say the least! Many people have been asking family members or myself how things are going, and how I'm recovering with the social distancing guidelines and all. Honestly things are not going as originally planned but then again that is just the way life is  right now. I don't think anything is going as anyone had planned this spring. I am so thankful that I was able to have my surgery, I was within just a few days of it needing to be canceled, all non emergency surgeries were canceled later that week. I'm Getting stronger and feeling more like myself every week. Thank you for the prayers and meals you have blessed us with the last few weeks.    I can hardly believe how things have changed the last month. I am now doing school at home with Savannah. The first week went really well, but the eye rolling, and" do I have to " comments when I tell her its time to do her school work are now a daily occurrence. I also know...
