On the scale of impulsiveness, I'd consider myself to be way closer to the planner end of the spectrum rather than a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants kind of girl.  But, for some unknown reason, I decided to conduct an informal poll of my level of impulsiveness from my kids perspective.  #carefulwhatyouaskfor 😂

The results are in.  My kids ranked me between a 2 and a 4 on the impulsiveness scale.  And my daughter-in-law gave me a 5 - with the disclaimer: "in a good way." 😅  I feel like that's fair.  In general - I would agree that I don't make a lot of impulsive purchases or stray from my well thought out plans very often.  

I rank low on the impulsiveness scale but honestly, I'm not unhappy about that.  I like being a planner and a list maker.  I hardly ever enter a grocery store without a well thought out, categorized grocery list that's sorted by aisle and shelf.   I'm an efficient shopper - what can I say?  😅 ​

Hobby Lobby has actually labelled their bins near their checkout counters as "impulse buys."  I kind of love that they call it what it is.  They're filled with the kinds of things that you browse while you wait in line to pay for your purchases.  The kinds of things that a non-impulse buyer, like myself, would never buy.🤣  Unless it's a skor bar.  😂🍫

Yup, you read that right - the girl who doesn't buy impulse groceries, cannot pass up a Skor bar in the checkout line.😬😅 I have absolutely zero will power to resist a delicious, chocolate covered, crispy, buttery toffee bar.  

I love them so much in fact, that I stock English toffee bits in my pantry which are basically a crumbled Scor bar.  And I sneak them into as many desserts as I can.  Cookies, cakes, brownies - they're all better with toffee.  I feel like English toffee elevates the flavor of everything that I put them in.  These toffee chip cookies are an amazing example of a chocolate chip cookie that's brought to a whole new level when I toss in a handful of toffee bits.

There's nothing better than homemade chocolate chip cookies on a rainy day.  I'm hoping these chocolate and toffee filled, treats bring a smile to your face today.😊
