Melted Snowman Cookies! Nanny Jaycie made these fun snowman cookies with her nanny kids and the kids LOVED it! How to make them:... You’ll be using either store bought or homemade sugar cookies as your base. For the melted snow, you can use royal icing or melted white chocolate (we made them with melted white chocolate). Put an even layer on your cookie with a few drops running of the edge for effect Cut marshmallows in half, use black icing for the eyes and mouth and an orange sprinkle for the nose. (We found it easier to make the faces first before placing on the cookies) Place the snowman head onto the icing or chocolate towards the edge so you have space for the buttons and arms Make the arms and fingers using black icing We used mini M&Ms for the buttons All done!! You and the kids will have a blast making, and of course, eating them! Happy Baking!! #Holidays #tistheseason #nannyplacement #nannyservice #nanny #Babysitters #vancouver #childcare #westcoastsitters

In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.... We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved, and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders Fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders Fields. - Dr. John McCrae. #lestweforget by David Clode on Unsplash
