Possibly the most underrepresented animal around Easter time is the lamb. Sure you have your basic bunnies and baby chicks that steal the show, but in my opinion the lamb is where it’s at. Lambs just add such shear warmth (literally) to the spring season. It could also be time to write the people at Peeps® for a lamb version of their marshmallow sugary treats. Just sayin’.

I love making cookies for Independence Day. Not so much because of the barbecues and fireworks, but for a more practical reason. I find 4th of July cookies tend to be easier to decorate than other holidays. Hey, they don't call it the lazy days of summer for nothing. :)
