Snickerdoodle Blondies

So you read about pregnancy and all the crazy symptoms but you will never truly understand them until you are pregnant.  Until you experience pregnancy yourself you just don't understand how tired pregnant women get or just how many times they have to pee.  I thought I would be able to continue my regular routine of work, working out, volunteering, and baking.  Clearly I was wrong!


This preggo has been so lazy that she has bought store bought cookie dough and had her husband bake cookies.  Eeck!


This recipe is so easy even a pregnant woman can make them.
