Cupcakes Cupcakes Cupcakes!

So I think I now understand why everyone has been obsessed with cupcakes as of late.  I made the mistake of clicking on "DC Cupcakes" on Netflix one very early Saturday morning as I was sitting on the coach all blurry-eyed as Ben was running circles around the living room.  Besides the sisterly drama (which I can completely relate to! lol), the delicious cupcakes had my mouth watering in no time!
Late that day, I dug through my mom's old recipes and I found her recipe for "Crazy Chocolate Cake" which sounded perfect (Mostly because I actually had all of the ingredients in my cupboards).  The cake batter mixed up perfectly and make exactly 12 cupcakes!!!
While those were in the oven, I kept looking through mom's recipes for some kind of frosting because cupcakes aren't complete unless they are frosted!  And I found the perfect frosting - "White Fluffy Frosting"!  Its a spin off of a marshmallow type frosting and just melts in your mouth. :)
The end result were some pretty fantastic tasting cupcakes that ended up not lasting too long.  ;)  Yum!

Quick Project

I dont often get a chance to do any of the million sewing projects that I want to do or that are sitting on Pinterest begging for me to sew them into life... But a few weeks ago I ended up being home for a couple of days with Ben.  He had come down with a minor cold and although he wasn't too sick, he was too cranky to go to day care.
Soooo, during nap time for a few days, I sewed away to my heart's content - or at least until baby woke up!
Here is the fruits of my labor -
  A cute little double sided shoulder bag.  I found the pattern on Pinterest (where else) and with a few modifications to make it my own, I think it turned out pretty fantastic!  I love it because some days, I just need to run out and I don't need to take the entire diaper bag, so this works great! :)
 Here is the pattern in case anyone is interested: http://verypurpleperson.com/2010/04/making-reversible-bag/.  I just lengthened the straps by about 4-6 inches.
