Browned Butter Snickerdoodles

I was feeling a bit snickerdoodlish the other day and since I haven't found the perfect mixture of 5 different cookie recipes that combine into one perfect recipe of snickerdoodleness, I decided to try just one (this one). And holy amazing. I ended up using 1 tbsp (instead of tsp) vanilla and added 1 tsp cornstarch and 1 tsp cream of tartar, because, well, I had to change something. I was a bit nervous to put in the first batch since my oven hates me. No really, it does. And it REALLY hates cookies. But, for some reason today it decided to feel snickerdoodlish too. So thanks, dear oven. You got a bit testy after batch #2, but you pulled through.

Cat Fail

Oh my gosh, some new friends showed us this last night and I cannot stop laughing!! There are over 11 million views, so there's a good chance you've already seen it. But if not - you gotta check it out. What am I saying? Even if you HAVE seen it, you should probably watch it again. So. Awesome.

Homemade Play Dough

I was feeling extra adventurous today and decided to make homemade play dough (using this recipe). It took all of 5 minutes and when I gave it to Holden he could not stop playing with it for the next 5 hours!! Or at least that's how I dreamed it would be. The reality is that it did only take 5 minutes but bug won't touch the stuff. Well, he touched it and promptly dropped it and runs away any time I try to entice him to play with it. So now mama has a new toy :)
