The Empty Cookie Jar







This morning, I opened the lid on our cookie jar. . .  It was empty. . .  But it made me happy. My children had enjoyed some good food.  I loved knowing I could bake more treats, and hide them in the cookie jar.

My teenagers love to peek inside this jar and wonder if Mama made them something special. I want to keep them guessing.

Perhaps today, I will fill it with brownies? Or maybe I will make more cupcakes?

Everything I bake gets wrapped in plastic wrap, or stored in baggies. This keeps the food fresh and my cookie jar clean.

I can't wait to see the charming smile and surprised look on their faces, when they open the lid tonight and see that Mama has, once again, secretly filled that empty cookie jar.

Blessings
