![]() So: Happy Galentine’s Day to all of you! May your February be filled with waffles, friends, and work you’re passionate about, and lots of friends and family you love. These are absolutely one of the best recipes I’ve ever made. The royal icing is sweet and balances out the butter. They aren’t crispy but rather a little bit chewy, super buttery, and I added a little cinnamon for some spice. These are the ideal, perfect sugar cookies. Oops, before I end this post I should probably talk about what these cookies taste like, huh? Well, in true Leslie Knope style, I’m not gonna be humble. So, in honor of my love for Parks and Rec, Leslie Knope, and of course Amy Poehler, here are some Galentine’s Day cookies with three of my favorite quotes: Treat Yo Self, I love you and I like you (warning: link is a major spoiler), and Yes Please! It is not about being a good girl it is about being a real woman.” (And don’t worry, if you’re a dude you will love the book, and Parks and Rec, too. ‘Yes please’ sounds powerful and concise. Saying ‘yes’ doesn’t mean I don’t know how to say no, and saying ‘please’ doesn’t mean I am waiting for permission. Go read it if you haven’t already! What does “yes please” mean? In Amy’s words: “I love saying ‘yes’ and I love saying ‘please’. Then she published her book, Yes Please, and my adoration was cemented. (They were behind the # AskHerMore hashtag that made a big splash at the Golden Globes this year.) They feature women in the world who are unabashedly doing amazing things. Smart Girls at the Party is a website and video series about inspiring young girls (and boys) to accept themselves. ![]() I loved her in the TV show, but it was when I found out about her organization Smart Girls at the Party that I realized how ridiculously amazing she is. If you don’t know what Galentine’s Day is, here are some GIFs.Ī huge reason why I love Parks and Rec is obviously the character of Leslie, but a huge part of why I (and most folks) love Leslie is because of Amy Poehler. I also happen to think Galentine’s Day is the best idea EVER. I’m an unabashed feminist (thank you, nine years of all-girls education), more than a bit of a perfectionist, and definitely a talker and a share-er. I love binders and organization and categorizing everything. ![]() Like Leslie with parks, I absolutely love what I do and usually can’t comprehend why everyone in the world wouldn’t love museums and art history as much as I do. Like, sometimes I feel that I’m the museum education version of Leslie Knope. I know it’s a meme and whatever, but I truly believe Leslie Knope is my spirit animal. Fair warning: If you do not love the TV show Parks and Recreation as much as I do, then this post is not going to make much sense.
