In her shoes..

Since I am not getting to buy any cute clothes lately, I thought I would do a little shoe shopping on my lunch break. I am the type of girl who would rather buy 5 pairs for $20 than one pair for $100. Here is what will be arriving in my closet soon…

The Perfect Cupcake

I have cupcakes on the brain. This week, every post will be somehow related to cupcakes. I am hoping that if I blog about them, I won’t be as tempted to eat them. We’ll see if it works…

I have watched Cupcake Wars numerous times on The Food Network and looked at beautiful pictures of cupcakes all over the internet and there is one thing I want to know….How do they get the icing perfect???

I found this kit online and thought it might be a good start, but I also need to know how to make the icing. Any ideas?? HELP!

The kit can be purchased here for $16.95.

Picky Stickies

With each baby, I have vowed to take a picture each month with a sign that says how old they are. So far that has never happened. Maybe with this new baby it will thanks to my friend Lauren who introduced me to Picky Stickies. The stickers come numbered 0-12, adhere to fabric, and peel right off when you are done taking the shot. How easy is that??

Lauren sent me a few pictures of her daughter Claire to model the stickers.
