The Cookie Connection

So what is The Cookie Connection all about?

Once a week this year, together with our little girl, we plan to spend a lovely hour together baking a batch of cookies and hand delivering them to someone in our neighbourhood who we are still to get to know.

The idea came to me over a year ago; we had just moved into our first home in a village where I didn't know a soul.  Feeling rather isolated and recovering from post natal depression, I was looking for a way of getting to know my neighbours.

At the time, staying at home and baking (one of my favourite things beside stitching) seemed like more fun than introducing myself to a bunch of people I didn't know - especially with the associated anxiety that accompanies feeling sleep deprived!  So I decided to combine the two and the Cookie Connection was born.  Here we are a year later and the deliveries have started!

It is so rewarding, lots of fun and just a really nice thing to do, especially with your children.  The  perfect opportunity to make some wonderful connections in your neighbourhood.

Fancy doing your own Cookie Connection?
