Cupcakes.

So, I'm just like everyone else it seems and I love cupcakes.  They are a little bundle of goodness that simply bring happiness.  

Picture this....

You're at work and it's just a typical day.  You are watching the clock barely move and you are just hoping that the next time you look at it an hour will have gone by but alas, it's only been 5 minutes.  Again.  Then something magical happens.  You hear it.  One word.

Cupcakes.

Some wonderful person has brought in homemade cupcakes.  And for the next few moments life is not nearly so bad and work has become bearable for a little while longer just because someone brought in these little bundles of joy out of the kindness of their heart.  

So let me tell you about a couple that I have made that were note worthy for some reason or another.  Maybe they were delicious, maybe they were beautiful, either way they are amazing.

Key Lime Cupcakes with Blackberry filling and Blackberry Buttercream Frosting

These are a dense, not too sweet but delicious cupcake that does not scream 10 year old birthday party.  Maybe a bit more grown up?  They have the most amazing fresh blackberry buttercream frosting on them.

Nutterbutter and Chocolate Overload Cupcakes

Talk about decadent!  These cupcakes are ones I like to tell myself that I can only eat one of because they are so rich but in reality they are so amazing that it's hard to stop at just one!

Blue Velvet Cupcakes

These are a fancy version of red velvet that are sure to start some conversations.  You can make these for a kids birthday party and even turn them into cookie monster cupcakes.  Very playful with tons of opportunity for creativity!

Alright... so here's one of those famed pinterest fails......

Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes

Just don't.  Trust me.... 

They are going to fall over and make an enormous mess and not only that look awful.  The cones get soggy and don't fill up.  I was intending them to be part of a fairy tale party and instead looked like the wicked witch had cast a spell.  

These are just a few of the delicious cupcakes that have graced a birthday party or two in our house.  Don't ask the hubby about my addiction to cupcakes.... don't get him started.  He thinks I'm crazy.  

And on a closing note lets talk about the proper way to eat a cupcake.  

Ready?  

Are you sitting down???

Boom.  

Life changed.

Introductions?

Welcome to the ramblings of a 30 something mom. I have a husband who both fascinates and frustrates me daily. 3 small girls, the cheerleader, the nice one and the mini me.  They are all so different and amazing. I work retail as an assistant store manager and deal with the crazy customers all day every day.

I pass my time attempting to craft things.  All things really. I like to create stuff. Pinterest is an interesting place for me. So many ideas, so little time. Mostly failures but I certainly enjoy the attempts!

I find that as my girls are more and more self sufficient and need me less and less that I'm trying to find myself again. While I love my children and you will find lots of anecdotal stories about them that is not everything in my life.

........... Wait?!? What did she say?!? Did she just say that her darling, beautiful, amazing children are not all that she lives for?.................

That's right folks! I love my kids but there is so much more in life!

There's always more.....

More laughter.

More love.

More life.

More sarcasm.

More friends.

More learning.

More everything.

Join me on this journey as I share with you the more of my life!
