Grandma's Pumpkin Cookies Description

This pumpkin cookie recipe is Grandma’s favorite. It’s our favorite, too! Every Fall the kids look forward to Grandma’s visit. She brings us a whole container of fresh-baked pumpkin cookies. During her visit, she set out a plate of these cookies and they quickly disappear. Then, a few weeks later, we are rewarded with another visit from Grandma and more of these mouth-watering, seasonal goodies. It’s one of the things that makes us look forward to going “over the river and through the woods…”

We don’t think there’s a better pumpkin cookie recipe than this one.

Household Cleaning Tip - Vaccuum the Right Way

Vacuuming a carpet the right way is the better way. First, vacuum in the direction of the pile. Next, vacuum across the pile. This removes much more dirt, leaving your carpet looking better and smelling fresher. The room smells fresher, too. In addition, properly cleaned carpet lasts longer saving you money?
