The Classic Snickerdoodle

Hey y'all! In case you didn't know....

I love to bake.

I was thinking it could be fun to share some of my favorite recipes with you guys!

So for today, we have the classic Snickerdoodle cookie.

I was studying for my anatomy class when I decided I needed a break. I was in the mood for something sweet, and I felt like baking.  After searching the internet, I found this Betty Crocker recipe for Snickerdoodles.  The great thing about this recipe is that it only calls for a few basic ingredients, that most of us have in our cupboard already.  They are super easy to make, and not time consuming at all.

I was so pleased with how they turned out. The recipe does say to bake them for 8-10 minutes; I recommend going with 8 minutes if you want them softer.  I did my first batch at 10 minutes, and they were a little too crispy for my liking.  But they are so so so delicious! I hope you give these yummy cookies a try :)

Life is fleeting...

It's Kat here. Right now I'm currently on my way back from a wedding in Charleston, SC and have been in the car for wayyyyy to long. But, as I'm taking a driving break and watching the sun go down on the interstate, great music playing, and windows rolled down, I realized something. I had been reminded something on this trip and I never ever want to forget it, so I'm writing down right here! Life is fleeting, we are only here for a short while and we should embrace every moment, be 100% in everything, love everyone 100%. Be thankful for every trial because we learn something from it and be thankful for those moments that are so happy that you cry. Remember to slow down and embrace those moments; thank God for it. Remember to tell those people close to you, you love them. There is so many things around us in this world that are evil and sad but at the same time there is soooooooo much beauty and it shines brighter than all of that! So embrace those beautiful moments never forget them, write them down. 

Xoxo, Kat

Hey guys! So here are some fun things I have planned for this Summer...and some not so fun...

• Summer classes! Anatomy 1 and 2--like I mentioned....some not so fun. Trying to be positive about it!
• Gym! I'm hoping to spend lots of time there and pump some iron. Haha. Not to mention a great de-stressor from my classes.
• One Direction concert in June! I cannot wait to hang out with thousands of preteens and sing at the top of our lungs and dance to some 1D songs. (don't judge)
• Summer weddings! And I get to be in one too! I absolutely love weddings.
• Dance team practices and camps!
• Hanging with my family, friends, and cat!

Not too many things planned, but I could not be happier to be home for a few months.

Kat: 
Hey ya'll! I'm soooo excited about Summer and not having school.... my summer seems like it'll be pretty busy with a couple of trips and living in Middle Tennessee!

• WORK- yes I know not exactly fun, but I have started a second job at an elementary school in Nashville and I will be a counselor for their summer school program, and I'm just very excited about all of it! 
• I'm actually driving up next weekend with a bunch of my girls to be bridesmaids in our best friend, Ariel's wedding in Charleston. Its going to be soooo much fun! Also a wedding in June with Mo!
• Decorating my apartment is definitely on my summer to do-list! 
• Going to the beach with my family in June! 
• Finding out if my sisters baby is a boy or girl this summer!!! I'm so excited to be an aunt you guys!
