Yesterday, 11 of my mom-friends from our school gathered to decorate over 200 cookies that were donated today to Ronald McDonald House at Stanford, and Haven House in Menlo Park, California. With the help of these friends, we are spreading a little joy through this holiday season!
Drop In and Decorate is the brain child of Lydia, from The Perfect Pantry. The idea is to make a bunch of plain sugar cookies and invite your friends over to help decorate, then donate to an organization in your community. A party with a purpose! I hosted one of these events last December, when we decorated 95 cookies to donate to the Ronald McDonald House at Stanford. In May, I hosted another event for Mother’s Day, and we decorated and donated 160 cookies. This time, we surpassed both those achievements!
Special thanks to Donna, Christy, Rachel and Cherie for helping me with cookie baking, and Lisa for being my frosting buddy! Could not have done it without you!

Lydia, same wishes to you! We had fun with the decorating and the recipient organizations were so pleased. The Ronald McDonald folks are going to start connecting with us before major holidays, they love the concept so much
