The Best Sugar Cookie Recipe Ever

February 19, 2015 by Danielle 4 Comments

Who doesn’t love a wonderful sugar cookie? I am truthfully not really a sugar cookie person, but let me tell you….this sugar cookie recipe is amazing. I always make them fairly thick and they seem to stay soft and good at all times! I made these last week for Valentine’s Day (about 70+ hearts) and not a single one was wasted.

Sugar Cookie Recipe:

1 Cup Oleo or Butter
1 Cup Shortening
1 Cup Powdered Sugar
1 Cup White Sugar
2 Eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
4 1/2 Cups Flour

Of course, there is always the stand mixer kept in your kitchen!

1. Cream together the Butter and the Shortening.
2. Add the Powdered Sugar and the White Sugar
3. Add the remaining ingredients; eggs, vanilla, salt, baking soda, and flour.
4. After the cookie dough is all mixed together you can refrigerate if you feel necessary. (I typically don’t refrigerate)

With everything that is going on in my day to day life I must admit that I feel like I am always making lists on my phone, emailing myself or even texting things to my husband. I am typically an organized person, but I admit that with all the technology in my life, I have found that I’m not near as organized with the schedule of my family as I should be. Since I have received my Life Planner from Erin Condren, I have been doing a much better job staying organized.

About Erin Condren:

When Erin’s life changed from working 12-hour days in a sewing factory to becoming a “stay-at-home” mother of TWO, she found herself on a tight budget. She knew that after two years without an income, she had to figure out something quick, or she would have no choice but to return to the Apparel Industry.

While she was on a tight budget, she began making note cards for friends, birthday gifts, new babies and hostess gifts. He friend encouraged her to sell her designs at a “shopping party” in her home in June 2004 and the rest is history.

About Life Planners:

This wonderful Life Planner is packed with everything you need.

LA Psycle- A wonderful Spin Studio

January 22, 2015 by Danielle Leave a Comment

At the start of most years many people are all about exercising, getting fit, losing weight, and even more great New Year’s Resolutions. Jamie Froetschner opened her spin studio, LA Psycle, back at the beginning of October and has been bombarded with interested people ever since.

About LA Psycle’s Owner:

Let me tell you that Jamie is one of the most energetic people that I have ever met in my life. She could motivate a rock to get up and going, which is absolutely wonderful for her role as the instructor. Jamie leads a very active life and is always encouraging all members of the class to push themselves a little harder. Jamie has created a wonderful atmosphere to help people make very healthy life choices.

About LA Psycle:

There are two options for classes:

$5 drop-in
$50 for a 5 week pass

Class Times:

M- 6:15 p.m. (45 minutes)
M/W – 5:30 p.m. (30 minutes)
W- 6:15 p.m. (45 minutes)
T/TH – 5:20 a.m. (30 minutes)
T/TH – 6:00 a.m. (30 minutes)
T/TH – 4:30 p.m. (30 minutes)
T/TH – 5:15 p.m. (30 minutes)

The 5 week pass consists of 2- 30 minute sessions or 1 – 45 minute session a week.

The price for drop-in and the 5 week pass are the same. The benefit of the 5-week pass is that you will get to “reserve” your bike.

The classes are always first come first serve, and the 5 week pass people always get their spots before openings are posted to others.

In addition to the classes that are offered, Jamie and her side-kick Kristin, offer drop in classes on most Fridays and Saturdays to help get more people into the classes.

LA Psycle:

Let me tell you that when you enter the LA Psycle studio, you immediately feel ready to have a great time. There is always great music playing, and tons of smiling faces. Larned is a small community so everyone has gotten to know each other very well and everyone is part of a big family. Every single workout leaves you proud of yourself for working hard, and ready to come back and do it again for your next class. I know that I can’t say that about every other type of workout I’ve ever done!

About Spin Class:

Spinning is a specific format of indoor cycling. Only certified Spinning instructors are allowed to teach “Spinning.” Spinning is a cardio workout set to music and led by a certified instructor. Most classes last between 30 and 60 minutes, although some places offer beginner or intro classes that might be shorter. Jamie and Kristin both are Schwinn certified teachers.
