Welcome to day 22 of the Cookie Advent Calendar!

Even if I started back in October to post I’ve lost my advantage because life and now it’s 21 Dec. and I am writing for tomorrow, nothing posted for the last three days of the calendar! 🙁

I have the whole family home and I cannot do anything on my own!
