Baking Sundays

I think I am going to start a new house/family tradition on Sunday and make it a baking day!  Baking usually chills  me out and I can get Dave and Dakota to help me out too, which makes it way more fun.  It will also create some quality time with the people in my life I care about - which is something I want to make a priority.  Here are some Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies I made this past Sunday. YUMMY!

Here is the recipe I used:
