Madewell x Milk

Years ago when I lived in Brooklyn I found this bakery called Milk Bar and  I became obsessed immediately. Their cookies were amazing, they were complex, and just delicious       There wasn’t anything I ever tasted like them before.

When I was living in Brooklyn and then New Jersey and I didn’t have a lot of friends am I started baking out of the Milk cookbook and it kinda saved my life. I had my kids that were small and I was stuck in the house so I didn’t really have anything else to do so I baked. And the recipes in this book are very complex we’re talking 4 different steps just to make a cookie, crazy stuff!!

But anyways I read it over and over again and I just like fell in love with them.  I felt like this bakery was my soulmate, I’m not gonna lie.
This is actually how and why I started my blog. The name itself ‘Cookies And Daydream’ is from baking cookies out of the Milk Bar Cookbook. The second post on this blog is about Milk Bar! It’s crazy! 
So now they did  a collaboration with Madewell   I love them too! I wear their jeans every single day and their T-shirts are amazing. So I am incredibly excited about this!

Like the T-shirts they came out with has a little pocket and it looks like a cookie is being dunked into the pocket it’s adorable, needless to say I totally got it. 

So I feel like my life and Milk bar have been intertwined for years and I love it! 

I can’t wait to make some cookies out of the cookbook for Christmas! 

Now I just need to get my hands on that apron. They didn’t have it at the store we went to and it’s sold out online. I guess I’m going on another road trip. Hahahaha.

Mini Philly Trip

I'm  usually busy during the week but I had a day free, so I decided to take a drive to Philly. I'm super obsessed with this new podcast, Dirty John, so it wasn't like i was driving at all. 

I wanted to get the new Madewell sweater they came out with. 

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE shopping online. especially late at night when everyone is asleep I can't fall asleep . HA.

But my body is weird from nursing Remy and eating like crap. So not everything looks good. 

I will put jeans on if I totally have to but they definitely need to be high-rise so it can suck all my mom stuff in. HA.

So Madewell has been my go-to lately, they have a 10" high-rise that I'm totally in love with! I can wash them over and over again and the quality lasts, so I keep buying them. 

So I'm driving and listening to my podcast and before I know it I'm in Center City Philly parallel parking my car like a pro. BOOM!

I was in and out the store in less than 30 mins. hahahahaha. I was deinitly in the car driving longer than I was actually in the city itself. Remy is awesome in the car, he just eats, talks, and then goes to sleep, its really amazing. Then we get to the stores and he pulls all the clothing all over the place. Ooooh Remy. 

All in all it was a pretty chill Monday. I got to watch Hocus Pocus with the kids and snuggle up in the awesome sweatpants I got. WIN!

The Dead and Co

So yesterday we packed up the whole family and drove to Philly for The Dead and Co show. Well we weren't really going to the show but regardless, we went to Philly. Hahahaha. 

I wanted to go shopping at Anthropologie and my friend was selling his tie-dyes and he told to come sell my indigo's! So I figured, why not!!? 

 

 

The kids had so much fun! 

I used to take Logan to Phish concerts when he was little and I was pregnant with Dylan. So this is nothing new to me but kids forget everything. So they ran up and down and sold tie-dyes. Hahahaha. I truly didn't think they would have as much fun as they did. 

 

We just hung out in the Volkswagen Van and had a great time. It definitely gives you a different perspective about concerts. I used to be the one getting drunk and not remembering the music but now it's different. I am able to enjoy the time with my family and be happy 😊 

 

Now I get to sit here and fold laundry while the baby sleeps. Perfect Monday afternoon 👍🏽
