Team-Up Thursday: Small

This week's theme and my photo reminded me of a Winnie the Pooh quote, "Sometimes it's the smallish things that take up the most room in our hearts."

Tina's photo is the small book bracelet. As an avid reader I think I need one of these. SO cute. You can read more about Tina's photo here at Just A Minute of My Time. My photo is the chocolate chip cookies. No the cookies themselves were not small. It was Alec's small act of kindness (with a little humor) that I wanted to capture in this photo. Alec is taking a Life Skills class (a.k.a. cooking) and the first baking assignment in class was chocolate chip cookies. Each student that baked was allowed 6 cookies. While the majority of the class enjoyed their cookies some time during the school day Alec simply wrapped his up to take home. He didn't eat a single cookie. He told me, "I had to guard them with my life!! Everyone wanted to eat them!" and "When they asked I told them no, these are for my family." They were the best chocolate chip cookies ever <3

I love M&M's, but especially the dark chocolate ones. Have you tried the pretzel ones yet?

[Angie Friend]

What a great teamup! It looks like the cookies would be the only answer you would need for eating, praying, and loving! hehe!
Have a great day!

Chocolate chip cookies and pretty bracelets, even ones for books count, what a great combo. I'll have to check out the book idea.

[Heather]

Mmm...dark chocolate M&M's. I am so woth you on those! Loved both of this week's pics, and the reasons for them.

[Tina]

so cute! Love the cookies and the sweet act of kindness! Counting down and getting nervous, how bout you?

[Mel]

Oh, how beautiful :-) They look delicious anyway, but I bet they tasted even better because of the back-story xx

[jillconyers]

Totally nervous. If I think about next weekend too long I get butterflies.

Right now I'm not sure I can live without one of the those cookies! The picture is making me hungry!
Other than that, South Beach S'mores bar, Twizzlers, hoodies and cats!

[Rhonda]

What an absolute sweet boy! I wish he could bring some for me!

Yep - can't live without the MaraNatha Organic Creamy and Raw Almond Butter either and others, but this is a must!

Hadn't heard of Thursday 13 before. What a clever idea. And I'll have to check out those some of your favs. Let's see... I couldn't live without-- my iphone. I know. I'm pathetic. :)

[sherilee]

I could not live without my Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer. It's my favorite make up product, by far.

[jillconyers]

This is only a test.

[Heather H.]

Love that one of the skills in Alec's life skills class is baking cookies!

[Linda]

I love the story about Alec. I taught both my girls to make chocolate chip cookies and they are some of the best cookies. I highly recommend dark chocolate m&m's too. :)

[Sarah @ 2paws Designs]

What great photos! I love the story behind the cookies. What a great son you have. :) As for the list - the M&Ms jumped right out at me, but I have to have the dark chocolate peanut ones. Yum!

[jillconyers]

Sarah I didn't know they made dark chocolate peanut M&Ms. How did I miss that? I'll have to try them.

[JDaniel4's Mom]

Stopping from Mom Loop! These look amazing. They won't last at my house with my guys.

[Christy aka Mamarazzi]

I know that photo has me craving some home made cookies!
