Parenting a teenager is the toughest thing I think I have ever done.  We have had a rough week, but I have faith that consistency, patience & love will get us through. Weeks like that make you really appreciate the plain, “boring” and normal weeks as they go by, no matter how busy you are. 

Onto brighter days.  5 full days of cookie love coming your way this week – starting today with Spritz Cookies.  On the menu this week:

Sunday – Lobster tail, baked sweet potato, sauteed green beans & salad
