Stephanie Zielinski

Stephanie Zielinski is the creator, author and photographer
of The Cookie A Day Challenge. She is a *thirty something* married mother of
three boys. Once baby number three was about to arrive Stephanie and her
husband, Adam, made the decision that she should leave her job in the medical
field to become a Stay At Home Mom (SAHM). That was over 7 years ago. Stephanie
and Adam live in a popular Detroit Suburb and are active in their boy's schools
and in the community. Their three boys, Noah (12), Dane (8) and Ian (7), are
pretty neat kids.

Motivated by her husband, she completed her
first marathon in 2010 and is training to run the 2012 Chicago Marathon. She
loves to dance, and if you peeked into her kitchen window while she was baking
you might see some of her cool moves. You might also see some of her chorography
on the stage at her local youth theater or with her local youth cheerleading and
dance teams.
Stephanie started this blog after she made a
promise to her youngest son, Ian. During their kitchen remodel, Ian was upset
that they would not be able to make cookies for Santa. In an attempt to cheer
her son up, Stephanie told him she would make a new cookie everyday for a year
once the kitchen was complete. Ian, Dane and Noah were delighted with this idea!
Once the kitchen was finished, Stephanie kept her word and has been "baking
cookies one day at a time" since.
