In Celebration of Women

As Mother's day approaches, I see it as our yearly reminder to make sure we are recognizing, celebrating, and appreciating the women in our lives, be it your mother, grandmother, aunts, sisters,  friends, maybe even your neighbors.

This year's sweet treat offering is extra special, and I'm super excited to tell you all about it.

​But first let me tell you the background story.

Earlier this year, a lovely and beautiful neighbor friend of mine was diagnosed with breast cancer. Since she is the first person I've known who has received this diagnosis, I started reading up and learning about it. One thing led to another and I decided to put together a Race for the Cure team in her honor, as well as for the thousands of other men & women who have fought and will continue to fight this disease. 
 
According to the Susan G. Komen website, 1 in 8 women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. In the Oregon & SW Washington region (where I live),  71 women and men are diagnosed EVERY WEEK. Sadly, 10 of them will die. 

Because these numbers are not ok, and because I want to be a part of getting rid of this terrible disease forever, I'm doing things a bit differently this year. To recognize, celebrate and appreciate the incredible women in your life, I've created a special set of buttery vanilla iced sugar cookies just for the occasion.  What makes this extra special, is that $10 from each set you order will be donated to the Susan G. Komen fight against breast cancer. 

So join me and celebrate the lives of not just the women in your life but the women in all our lives.
