Configuring Google Analytics and Baking cookies

I spent the entire afternoon figuring out how to connect Google console and add Google analytics to my website. I kept getting the error message when I added codes to the HTML. 

I went through so many YouTube tutorials and they all seem easy to follow yet I couldn't get it to work. I ended up searching blog posts. One of the posts shows me how to delete codes from the HTML before adding google analytics codes and UA to my site. Now it's all working. I still need to connect to Adsense, which I hope I can get it up and running tomorrow. 

My nephew and I had a baking session late evening. He made his favorite, oatmeal raisin cookies, and I made chocolate chips cookies.

The oatmeal ones turn out really good and the chocolate ones need more work. It's our first time making chocolate cookies from scratch, so it's okay. The kitchen smells really good after our baking. We watch Charlie Brown while enjoying our cookies with milk.
