Simple Things Thursday: Rose of Sharon

Today is a post that I write with a heavy heart. I took this picture a couple of week ago, when our Rose of Sharon was just starting to bloom and hadn't yet been plagued with Japanese Beetles.



Two weeks ago, they were just flowers..lovely purple, bright wonderful flowers with a simple beauty.

Now, when I look at them, I think of my friend Christine who passed away suddenly on Sunday. She loved the colour purple...

My heart is heavy, even when looking at the simplest inspiration.

Y3W Friday: Happy Super Bowl!

Happy Friday everyone!

What's on tap for you this weekend?

Like many years in the past, we're hosting lots of friends for Superbowl Sunday!

What does this mean for me? Well...baking! Tomorrow, I will be in the kitchen with the best 8 year old sous-chef a girl could ask for, whipping up...

Mint Chip cupcakes

Cotton Candy cupcakes

And Vanilla Bean cupcakes

Fun!

Stay tuned for upcoming How-To Tuesday's when I share the recipes, and finished results!
Until then, have a fabulous weekend!

Thankful Thursday: My Ladies

This morning, while pondering a new product, I knew exactly who to go to for advice.

My ladies.

When I was pregnant with my son, I frequented The Bump and quickly established amazing friendships with a group of women whom I am very happy to still be chatting away with today. All of our babies were due within a month or so of one another, and it made the journey...bearable. I had a difficult pregnancy, and they were there every step of the way, cheering me on.

That hasn't changed, and for that I am eternally thankful.

I posted my idea for the new product, which actually isn't new for me at all but is something that I've just been doing for the past 8 years and giving away as gifts to new mom's, and waited for the reactions. The ladies did not let me down.

Not only did they encourage me to do it, they helped affirm that my price is on point, that shipping is manageable as it is a large item, and were incredibly supportive.

So...Lisa, Emily, Andrea, Amanda, Holly, Jenna, Barbie, Jaffra, Ally, Patty, Christina, Kassi, Censie, Aubree, Crystal, , Megan P, Megan C, Janet, Theresa, Kristin, Cassie, Melissa, Shmizz...I thank you. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you.
