Pillsbury Ready to Bake! Shape Cookies Package #Giveaway #MyBlogSpark!

Mother's Day has come and gone.  I hope all you lovely mothers had an awesome day.  Whether you spent it with your family or relaxing in a spa, it was our day to do what we wished!

On Friday I sent my oldest off with his Dad.  {Hubby is a truck driver and was promising him a ride along}....  it just so happened  they left the Friday.  I had wanted to post this giveaway last week, but with all the drama of our bankruptcy hearing last Monday, it took a back seat.  But I'll get into that in another post :)

My Mother's Day weekend started out like I said saying goodbye to my oldest and Hubby, Saturday was kind of blah.  I wasn't feeling the cheer.  I was sitting here with the TV going but just in a funk.  My youngest son brought over to me the cookie sheet and said, " You promised we'd make cookies this weekend."  Honestly it was the last thing on my mind.  I've never been away from my son before for anything longer than a night and the upset from the bankruptcy was still weighing heavily on me.  What our future will hold kinda thinking.  But a promise is a promise!

I stood up and smiled to him and said you know what, let's do it!  I had my daughter grab the pre-made Pillsbury^® Holiday Shape^® Cookies from the fridge and my second oldest grabbed the knife and we were off.

I started sharing stories of each ones birth.  How when I first found out I was pregnant with Anthony {my oldest} Daddy was still sleeping and I woke him up with the news.  He was so excited that he jumped out of bed and proposed right there in the middle of our bedroom with tears streaming down his face.  I told them each ones labor pains, who gave me which stretch mark, what my cravings were with each one, just silly stuff like that.  Silly to me, but boy were these kids into it.  Before I knew it I had forgotten all about the bankruptcy and later realized hey we've been dirt poor before and if we have to we'll pull ourselves up again.

We sat at the table with our yummy cookies and milk and laughed about my stories.  I think it was the perfect distraction for all of us!  Funny how baking does that.  Even if you haven't got the time to bake "from scratch". ♥
