cupcakes ...

the hub thinks i'm going looney .. i pushed an enormous to-do list aside and spent sunday baking cupcakes from *scratch* then tried to make them look pretty. i think i just needed to "de-stress" and it did the trick.

b was a great helper. we spent the entire day in our jammies, even went to the store in our jammies and i'm pretty sure we didn't brush our teeth either. she licked every spoon, every beater and every bowl nice and clean.

the finished product ... they were delish and i made c deliver a few to the new neighbors next door as well as the nice neighbor up the street who has been taking him to school twice a week. he wasn't too thrilled with the sacrifice, he wanted them all to himself but he obliged and hopefully learned some about the art of giving because they were both very excited about his gesture.

back to the to-do list and to the reality that a day full of cupcakes won't pay the bills, give me more energy or make me skinny ...

I'm glad you and brooklyn got to spend the day baking together what fun mother daughter time and a great way to de-stress.

sounds like a fun day. baking is the ultimate de-stresser. they look SOO delicious...i could eat five! maybe someday they'll be good for us..
No, I'm glad you asked! I had to work late that night so I couldn't make it, I will for sure hold a party! I think sometime in October would be good for me if that works for you.

I LOVE that you pushed that to-do list aside for just one day to spend the day baking with your little girl. She will love that memory and who cares that those beautiful creations won't make you skinny. They look luscious! I want one here in oregon, pronto!
