My Three Sons, 1983Every Friday night at midnight I made chocolate chip cookies. Curfew was 12:30 and walking into a kitchen with the warm aroma of melted chocolate, and a waiting bowl of cookie dough was too much for a teenage boy to resist. It was a delicious way to start a conversation!

How do you connect with these men nowdays? I find it mind boggling that I gave birth to three thirty year old men.
Genius. Will be stealing this one.
I'm wondering how many times you've won mother of the year? What an excellent idea.
seriously, i don't think i could stay up that late anymore. isn't there a chocolate chip cookie candle i could light, placed by a notepad reading "i'm glad you made it home safely and assume you made good choices tonight." ??
Brilliant idea and I love the comments before me, too.
I think I overuse the word 'genius' on this blog, but there really is no better word. I'm filing this away for future use.
Once again, you've shown more strength than I ever could. "Wake me up when you get home." "Wake me up when you are leaving for seminary."
Oma,
I again enjoyed my visit with your life.
Love,

Brilliant.
Mine are only 9 and 10. I alternate driving one to school every day and wait with the other at the bus stop. I find even that 10 minutes every other day is priceless. :)
Pure Genius! With 3 teenage boys *right now* I can easily say I will be adapting this idea into my own home. Love it! Can't wait to see what other gems you share.
I waited up but with no freshly baked cookies. That is a great idea and one that I will pass on to the next generation.
Bless your mothering heart! I will implement this immediately. Genius. Chocolately genius.
I popped over from Stie's blog and you now have a faithful reader :)
Fabulous, fabulous idea. I will remember this one.
