We made it to the east coast! I was in Harvard Square for a day and walked by a very put together cupcake shop called Sweet. You know I can't resist a cupcake especially when it's well packaged! I thought this chocolate covered pretzel cupcake looked amazing, and the chocolate buttercream didn't disappoint. Good to know they have a whole tray of frosting shots when you just need a little pick-me up.

Today I needed to make something. Anything.
I had a small window of time with my sewing machine. I started with a bag in mind but then I thought of something else.
In preparation of our upcoming travels east and the simple fact that as a mom I always have crayons in my bag, I decided to make a canvas crayon roll up.
I labeled each one-inch pocket with the color and name using my trusty sharpies. This makes it more than just a handy storage case, it's also a matching game! We love matching games.
Whenever the little miss sees writing on objects she starts calling out letters. This will be just one more step in familiarizing her with words and colors.
"Whooooaaaaaa!" she said (imagine a deep raspy, drawn out whoa with her lips in a perfect oval) when she saw it. Yes, I think she likes it.
Sure beats carrying around a zip lock bag of crayons. This is much cuter.
Maple. Bacon. Local. Good packaging.
Fifty-Licks ice cream,
you're like a dream come true.
Now available in the NE Portland Whole Foods freezer section. Yay.
***It has been pointed out that not all Portland Whole Foods are carrying Fifty Licks. You may want to call first to double check or just head to the NE Fremont &15th location.****
It's no secret that Clementine LOVES cupcakes.
"Happy Birthday!"
She replies, "cupcake!"
Happy anything and she replies, "cupcake! cupcake! cupcake!"
Just the word "happy" alone will do,
mention whipped cream, ice cream...
"CUPCAKE!"
She's crazy for them; even if all she does is lick off the frosting.
These past few Saturdays the mister has taken advantage of the non-rainy {enter disbelief here} weather and put the little miss on his bike for a date with daddy-o at the cupcake shop.
It's really the cutest thing.
He likes to send me a picture from their sweet adventure.
I just received this one and I had to share.
but it wasn't a dream!
There were tulips as far as the eye could see, bursting with colors against a gray sky.
These pictures were taken at the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival. It was a quiet weekday at peak blooming time. It made my heart race to see such a beautiful sight.
Annie's bunny grahams are super cute and easy to use as a cake topper. Perfect for our carrot cake!
