Bake Sale

Our Cookies For Cole bake sale was a great success! Despite having foul weather, it went really well. We just substituted hot chocolate for lemonade.
Thank you to everyone that participated. We still have a lot more money to raise, but are so thankful for everyone that has contributed so far. It warms our hearts to hear stories of people coming together to support our little boy.We split up and held one bake sale at our home and another at a more public location. Cole was, of course, the main attraction at the home sale :)
We look forward to gathering all of the donations and coming up with a total. I think that we can safely say that we have the hotel and gas covered for our trip in 4 WEEKS! Now just to get our food and dog supplies covered and I can rest easier. There were so many delicious treats, I wanted to try them all! Many thanks goes out again to our friends and neighbors for making this so successful.

Practice Makes Perfect

Mom was right. Practice does make perfect in a lot of areas, not just music.

I have been practicing my baking. Now that I live at a totally different elevation (and have a temperamental oven), it is like learning all over again.

I made Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls and topped them off with Salted Caramel Cream Cheese Frosting. I think that I ate 6 in 24 hours. There is only one left.

and I think that I am going to finish it right now...just preparation for this weekend!

If you like treats as much as me, check to see if someone close to your area is holding a Cookies For Cole bake sale.
Saturday, from 11-2, I'll be selling delicious goodies and bottled water. It's supposed to be a beautiful day!

If you can't make it to a bake sale, you can always donate through our blog. Click on the "Donate" button to the right and all proceeds go to Cole's Cause. You do not need to have a PayPal account.

Cookies For Cole

It's a bake sale! Coming to your neighborhood, September 17th.

If you have been reading Warriors for any length of time and want to know how you can help, here is a great way to do just that.

I am not a professional pastry chef like my sister, but most of my friends and family would say that I can bake with the best of them. However, you don't need to necessarily know your way around the kitchen for this. This is something that anyone can get involved in, no matter where you live, any time or any place. Even if you only make one batch and sell it to your neighbors, every dollar counts.

Here's what you do: bake something, sell it and donate all of the proceeds to Cole's Cause. It can be really small and simple, like one batch of cookies, or you can recruit your friends and it can have lots of variety and involve lots of people getting something delicious. So many of the people we love live far away from us, so this is a way to come together at the same time and do something great.

It doesn't just have to be cookies. Cakes, pies, eclairs, brownies, popcorn, any treat will do! We are also going to have sugar-free, gluten-free, and keto-friendly goodies at ours :)

Every little bit helps.
