Bird Nest Cookies

I’m sort of embarrassed to share this but I have writer’s block and it is the only thing coming to me at the moment!

I was recently at Target with my son and his friend in tow. We went our separate ways. I was looking for something to dunk into Cadbury Mini Eggs Cheesecake Dip and out of nowhere I was overcome with emotion. There I was, in the middle of Target in the middle of the day, just randomly starting to cry because I felt so much appreciation for the flexibility I’ve been blessed with and the extras I am able to afford because of this blog.

I called my husband and told him I needed him to make me laugh to help shake off the vulnerability I was feeling. He said, “But they are happy tears!”

This feeling I had wasn’t just appreciation, it was gratitude for everyone who has supported and contributed to this blog, especially my husband, my son, my Grandma, and my parents. I guess my tears of joy just couldn’t be held back anymore! God is so, so good. I give Him the glory!

I wish I had the courage to tell you my story, maybe someday. But for now, please find encouragement, guidance, strength, and hope in Jesus. I can promise you, He knows what you need and will help you. Sometimes my prayers are just, “Lord, help me.”

Easter eggs have absolutely nothing to do with the true meaning of Easter, but I love holidays and I shop holiday candy like it’s my last meal! I had a lot of fun making these Easter Egg Bird Nest Cookie Cups! I think your kids or grandkids will have fun with them, too.

I think you’ll like some of my other favorite Easter treats, like Peeps Bunny Sugar Cookies, Easter Oreo Dirt Cake Cups, Scotcheroo Bird Nest Bites, and Butterscotch and Peanut Butter Bird Nest Cookies, too!
