Reflections on Cookies

This marks the end of  a chapter (literally ch 2 on cookies). It has been two and a half months since I started this project.  It has been a lot more challenging than  I expected and also a lot more rewarding. I am having to balance Mommy time, teacher time, boyfriend time, baking time and resting time (I have not seen my friends in ages but they are being very understanding and supportive of the blog, Thanks!).  The main difference I feel at this point is my confidence and willingness to try any recipe under almost any circumstances. The perfectionist in me has had to take a back seat to the Project Manager. It has taught me that practice makes perfect and not having to be perfectly prepared. I am a lot easier on myself and if the recipe doesn't come out I chuck it as a learning lesson (As long as I get the picture which I've discovered to be another passion of mine). I love making recipes I would have never thought of trying and discovering how much I enjoy them. I am getting to know my loved one's favorites (Great birthday and Christmas gifts).  I was trying to make a top ten list when it began feeling like a Miss Cookie Contest. I don't believe in competition and will therefore just move on to the next (1st) chapter:
