Sometimes a word of encouragement can motivate you to the next level in your life. We could all do with some pumping up toward the end of the year.

LIFE IS ABOUT CREATING YOURSELF’. Brilliant stuff!!

Once your grandmother pops in her dentures, she will appreciate these oh-so airy Cloud Cookies. Their part crispy meringue, part chewy macaroon with a moist center filled with the right amount of coconut and, they come in a box of sixteen. One bite, and she’ll think she’s in heaven!
