What’s better than getting together with a bunch of great friends? Leaving the gathering with 9 dozen treats for the holidays, that’s what! A long time momstown member, Julie Corbett, hosted a great Mom’s Night Out: Holiday Baking Exchange for us... a night filled with fun, laughter, munchies, drinks, chatting, catching up and most importantly friendship.Cookie exchanges can be dated back to at least 70 years ago. Today we continue the same tradition. As busy moms, it can be hard to find the time to bake all that we want for the holiday season. A cookie exchange gives us a chance to have all our baking done for us while being able to show off our own baking skills or bake a favourite recipe that we may love or that has been a tradition in our home. The best part of a cookie exchange is the chance to get together with friends new and old - as you can read about in this blog on the momstown meals site. Catching up on what other have been doing during this busy time and hearing about all the exciting plans everyone has for the holiday season.
Cookie exchanges had always been something I have been involved in at work but once I decided to resign from my job to stay at home with my kids I figured my days of the cookie exchange were gone as well. I was so happy when momstown started this tradition in our great mom community last year and have really enjoyed being part of it. Hoping my cookies last till Christmas, so far it’s not looking so good :)

Great job Cait! You are right it is a great tradition and helpful for busy moms who love to have all the trimmings and enjoy entertaining. No rice crispy squares though...ha, ha! Margie
