Covenant Cookies - A Gift of Delectable Bites, Inspirational Messages

Words are powerful. They can build you or tear down - and become reality.

That's why these elegant little cookies are so great!  Well, one of the reasons!  Covenant Cookies allows you to send that custom positive message to someone you care about via dipped and decorated fortune cookies. 

Yes, the cookies are delicious (much better than the plain, stale ones you get at the Chinese restaurants) - but it's the inspirational fortune that delivers the real treat.  I knew this gift was coming to me in the mail-even so, I was as excited as a little girl getting fan mail response from one of the New Kids On The Block 20 years ago! Almost any package addressed to you is exciting, but one with a classy box, wrapped in a satin bow containing gorgeously decorated fortune cookies individually dipped in chocolate - I'll say it - made my day!

Here's an example that I thought of: You have a girlfriend who just got initiated into the world of mommyhood.  It's week 3 and your bestie is overwhelmed with her newborn - the excitement of the "new" has worn off, the lack of sleep is catching up with her and she's breaking down. So picture this...she opens the package that has just arrived at her door. Upon opening, she is hugged by an elegant container filled with just what she needs - sweets! She's so touched she almost cries. But it's not until she cracks open her fortune "You're a strong mama. Hang in there. It gets easier!" that she does cry.  The words are powerful, and they build her up. She enjoys a couple of the tasty treats and is ready to conquer the rest of her day. Next time you talk, she can't thank you enough!  And then she pays it forward and has a basket delivered to her sister.

So whether you want to encourage a friend, thank your mom, or tell your husband you really do appreciate him; Covenant Cookies is the classy and delicious way to send your love!

Guest Bloggers, Causes We Believe In, Recipes, Mommy Advice and Humor... and Wine in 2012

We have a lot of exciting things coming your way in 2012.  We have a remarkable new direction in our book (wine lovers stay tuned).  Of course, we will keep posting our Anti-Chicken Fingers Movement recipes twice each week.  Our MomAhas! on Facebook and Twitter will keep you filled in on mommy tips- helpful and sometimes a bit sarcastic.  And be sure to look out for a MomAha! app for your phone in late Spring/early Summer.  Of course, we will be reporting to you monthly on our donations to Children’sMiracle Network Hospitals and National Children’s Advocacy Center.  All this in addition to our stories of mommyhood! 

In this new year, we want to be the voice of real moms…not just through our own experiences which we know you relate to; but through your experiences-battles and triumphs included!  Trina and I are excited to announce we will be regularly posting stories from featured guest bloggers.  So when Heather Von St. James contacted us with her inspiring story a few days ago, we couldn’t wait any longer to get moving on this! 

When her daughter Lily was just 3 ½ months old, Heather was diagnosed with Mesothelioma; a type of cancer that kills 90-95% of those who have it.  Today, six years later, she is cancer free and sharing her courageous story with other moms.  She is a source of hope and  inspiration to Trina and I-we know you will gain something from her story, along with a few laughs from this witty Minnesota mom.

Please check out Heather’s blog, and sign up to follow our blog to be one of the first to know when she posts on ours (also, we will donate $1 per new blog follower to the charities we support)!  If you have a story or experience to share with our readers, please e-mail us (see contact page).

Happy New Year, Mommies!
