for the birthday celebration of a good pal, i decided to make some cake pops. as always, my trusty cake pop associate, bridgette helped out. and we knocked these guys out pretty quickly. as it usually goes, no one really ate them at the party, so lots of moms got to take some home to […]

warm days

we’ve been getting quite a few warm days here lately. and we’ve been taking advantage, getting outside as much as we can. for walks, to the park, or even just sitting in the hard, crunchy, mostly dormant grass in the front yard.
cupcake cake pops

so, some pals and i are throwing a baby shower for our other pal jessica. somehow, bridgette and i got the bright idea to try to make cake pops for the event. they’re like truffles on a stick. only the inside of the truffle is mashed up cake and frosting and the outside looks prettier […]

ice cream

we met heather and her two girls for some tasty chick-fil-a for lunch (and energy expending) on tuesday. anna had her first taste of ice cream. she wasn’t really a fan of eating the ice cream. just playing with the spoon seemed to work for her though. anyhoo. here’s some shots: livy: maya: isaac (who […]
halloween, part two. (the nerd).

as once promised, here are some additional halloween pictures. i did a terrible job of capturing the festivities via digital camera, but thankfully jude was on the scene with her fancy pants camera. she captured some shots of the oldest lid kid, dressed up in his nerd costume which i had NONE of. and a […]
