Yes, I have returned from the big city and I have to say that I enjoyed myself soooo much. I really loved Washington D.C. I ate at some really cool restaurants, saw some amazingly beautiful sights, toured way too many museums and had Air Force One fly right over my head. It was a lovely getaway from the daily life of kids and stress. Very relaxing and stress free. The husband and I really needed that. Bad. Anyways, the hugs and kisses didn’t last long and than it was back to life as we know it. It was a heart breaker though after returning and my 3 year old daughter said to me “Mommy, can you go away again for a long time and I’ll go stay with Grandma?”. Yah, you bet my eyes were filled with tears after that one. She had no idea how much I missed her. I was so glad to be home and it was a straight punch in the gut. Innocent as her sweet little heart is..Kids! ÂYou gotta love them!
Welcome home! kids are really funny sometimes! At least you know you can have more little breaks with the hubby and she’ll be ok. I bet you’re glad to be back in your kitchen, the cookies are adorable!
Isn’t D.C. great! I love the East Coast! Your recipes are always soooo yummy! I am no expert baker but you inspire in the kitchen!
Those look delicious! I love lemon sweets. Great blog!
YUM! I love anything lemon, sweet or savory {but especially sweet!}. I will be trying these and welcome home!
Welcome back! Glad you had a fun trip! I can’t wait to hear more. I love lemon too! Glad you made these!
Glad you had a good time! My son likes to stay at his grandparent’s house because they take him to McDonalds (We do not!)
You could never have too many lemon recipes!
How cute are these iced cookies, they are so pretty! Welcome back to reality! It always hits me hard after a great vacation. Glad you and your hubby could spend some time together!!
Oh I’m with you, I love anything lemon. I must use lemon at least twice a week.
These cookies will be made soon, for sure.
Oh welcome back!!!
Welcome back! I can’t wait to hear about where you ate – I’m sure it will make me want to go on vacation, though! And you can never have enough lemon, so bring it on!
Congrats on the blog award, it is definitely well deserved!
The cookies look yummy and I love the idea of the frosting. Lemon treats are a perfect summer treat.
You can’t tell me all about these, put up this beautiful picture, and not share! I guess I’ll just have to make them myself! Glad you are back and we aren’t loners on the block anymore!
These look similar to the ones with the sprinkles around the outside (which I loved, by the way) but maybe a little easier. Anyway, thanks a lot, I had to go to the store and buy butter just to make these. You make me fat.
Those are such pretty cookies! Yum!
Good to see you got back and had a great time! Kids are funny people, aren’t they? You know they missed you!
What a great welcome home. Those cookies look so lemony perfect.
I too am a sucker for lemons!
Glad you enjoyed your trip! Its back to the grindstone sista!

Those look fantastic!
Aren’t kids that best at making you feel loved
lol
My husband and I went away for four days, and when we returned my then 1 1/2 year old wouldn’t come to me at the airport. My dad was holding her out to me, and she kept turning back crying… holding on to Grandpa. Like I was a stranger or something ! Kids… I swear.
Glad you had a fun trip! I’ve never been to D.C. before.
I LOVE lemon! I can’t get enough. A lemon cookie is a great idea. Definitely going to have to make some lemon cookies.
mmm…I love ANYTHING with lemon! Can’t wait to try these!! I love your blog! Everythings looks so yummy!!
