Cookie Swap 2024
My friend, Casey, and I hosted our annual cookie swap party Sunday. The soiree was at my house this year (we alternate). We started this tradition in 2012 and have only missed once due to Covid. We had sent out invitations and made plans to host the party outside in an effort to keep everyone […]
