Family Picture ♥



It seems as the kids get older and my husband and I get busier, we take fewer family pictures. This is something I plan to change! Easter Sunday, I demanded everyone stop and take some pictures. Rory, my husband, set up the tripod quick and we got some really cute shots. Needless to say, the kids were pumped full of Easter candy and it was a pain getting them to sit and smile. Enjoy!

I love cupcakes!


I LOVE how trendy cupcakes have become! They are cute. Simple as that. They remind me of being little and taking cupcakes my mom made for me to school. My mother made AMAZING cupcakes. Just thinking of coming home and smelling warm, vanilla cupcakes in the oven makes my mouth water!

As a mother of a seven and four year old, trying to run a business, along with running a house, I do not have nearly enough time to make cupcakes as often as I'd like. So incorporating home with work, I made cupcake soaps! They smell D*I*V*I*N*E. I made these soaps earlier last year and some how the mold got tucked away and forgotten about.

Though as yummy as they look and smell...they still can't be eaten...so I think I may have to have a REAL cupcake baking session with the kids this weekend....less I break down and try a taste of my soap...

You can find these adorable soaps (they are HUGE by the way!) in my Etsy shop. CLICK HERE to view.

Just an idea if you make candles...


I. Love. Candles.

I've been experimenting since last year trying to create the *perfect* candle. Believe me, it ain't been easy! If you've ever tried to make candles you know there's TONS of testing involved...and a lot of botched experiments. If you've ever made a candle that didn't burn correctly, no need to toss it! Simply buy one of those candle warmers (you know, those little hot plates) and melt! Its a great way to use what you've made rather than wasting your creation. I've had plenty of oils that smelled kind of funky when I burned them, but they smell *perfect* when melted on a candle warmer.
