You're listening to The Girl Next Door Podcast. I'm Erica. And I'm Kelsey. We're two former next door neighbors and good friends who love a good chat and a good cocktail. We're inviting you to come on in, have a drink, and stay a while. Hey, friend. Hey friend. So today's episode is titled Taking the Temperature of Your Life.

And we're going to talk all about kind of checking in with yourself and how you can know when things are going well or are maybe a little bit off and how we kind of navigate that.

So first a cocktail.

First.

Not a cocktail. Yeah. It's kind of a little cookie snack i basically listeners i crashed

cookie date night and i panicked for a moment because we're recording on a different night than we

that's right we're changing it up if you've listened to before Kelsey and Chris have a little

cookie date night tradition.

And usually the door will be like more open. And I see Kelsey like getting ready to podcast right in her dining room. And I didn't see anybody. And Chris like kind of peeked. The door was slightly ajar, but I wasn't sure. And then Chris peeked around the corner and I didn't see Kelsey. I was like, oh God, am I here on the wrong night? And I'm just walking in their house.

Because I feel like we talk more like close to the time we're recording.

Usually like how bedtime's going or whatever. Exactly.

No, it's funny.

I think I was calling from the kitchen, but I always misestimate how loud you need to talk to like call across a house,

especially if you're standing like behind a wall. Yeah. But I benefit and get a cookie. You benefit from cookie date night. Yes,

because I was getting our frozen cookies out of the freezer and bake some for me and Chris.

And so now I bake some for us. And so actually I'm very excited because so this is the

big batch of cookies that I made and froze cookie doughball scoops of them like on a cutting board

then put them all in his black bag and now for cookie date night I just get out the two to four

that we have so So I'm excited

for you to try this one because I think I found a winner of a cookie recipe that freezes well.

And I mean, these are beautiful cookies. Well, and actually I have heard that to get them like

thicker and denser and not so flattened out because you know the dough kind of melts and then it flattened out like it's crispy yeah to put them in cold like from the fridge for a while
