My sister, Shanda, made these adorable cupcakes for her daughter’s first birthday. I believe she just used m&m’s and some string tips (correct me if I’m wrong, Shanda).
Anyway, supercute. (And I like the serving plate, too.)
Michelle wrote me for some ideas for her baby’s upcoming barnyard-themed first birthday party. Here’s some of what she said… “I have some ideas…like using hay bales as seating, and the favors will be bandanas tied on sticks w/ these little barns I got in the $1 section of Target (gotta love Target)…I do have…
I have posted several fun Father’s Day ideas on the blog over the years. I think it is because men are a bit like big kids and it is easy to pick one of their hobbies or interests and create a whole theme around it. Last year, we celebrated my husband’s love of fishing with…
I found a great post on the water rockets I’m thinking of doing with the kids, here. They did even more than I was planning to make them look great. I’m still a little fuzzy on the physics of it all, but that is my husband’s department. I’m exclusively in the aesthetics department.

I work with a lot of different companies as a blogger on various sponsored posts. My kids are kind of used to random packages arriving at the door and ask me if it is something “for the blog,” but when the package of yumminess from Hostess arrived, things were a little different. My 7-year-old started…
Last night was my music recital for the year, and I tell you I am exhausted today. The big bummer is there was plenty of insanity involved in the refreshments and such, but with everything else I was trying to do, no camera, and no pictures. š Maybe I can re-create a few things and…

Hey Mindy! How are you guys? Don’t you have a blog somewhere?
Yes. I think the ears are just chocolate frosting. She confided that she used store bought frosting, which is nearly a sin in our family since our mom was always a “from-scratch” woman, but it is nice to be able to cut corners every once in a while. Especially in the name of cuteness!
Ack!! Those are adorable. And I’m all about the store frosting. When it’s on sale for $1 a can, you can’t make it cheaper. Ć I buy a bunch and put it in our food storage closet, along with the cake mixes that were on sale for $1, too. I think that may have to be our next themed party! (2-year olds don’t get a say, do they??)
Kendra – We are all doing well…and I do have a blog:
