When my friend Dawn decided to host a Mommy's Night Out at her house, I realized just how long it had been since us girls had an opportunity to get together (without kids), have a few drinks, and enjoy a few laughs. When she mentioned she wanted it to be a "game night," I was completely on-board. I didn't know exactly what she had in mind, so I made a variety of cookies that I hoped would be somewhat applicable.
For these cookies, I really was pretty scattered.
There's a bit of everything here...a mixture between poker chips, pictionary, and charades.
The hourglass timers were made with a simple rectangle cutter and some
negative (undecorated) space. I added some white sanding sugar on top
to help give it some dimension.
These pictionary-inspired cookies were so simple. I flooded each square cookie with white icing and added a yellow/golden border. Then, using my favorite food-safe markers, I added some simple stick-figure drawings. Can you find the "rainbow," "car wash," "cupcake," "love birds," and, my favorite, "beer goggles?"
I also made some plaque cookies as game cards for charades. Since all these ladies are moms to 5-year-old girls, I thought some familiar children's movies would be fun...everyone was such a good sport.
Brad gets a special mention, though, as when we were all tired out from our fun, he drove each one of us home safely.
Extra bonus points for such a great husband!
Thanks to this awesome family for giving this Mommy just what she needed...a good night out with friends!
