Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween everyone! While I'm not dressing up this year or doing anything special I did take the opportunity to whip up a fun Halloween dessert perfect for bringing to parties or serving up as an after dinner treat...boo cups!

These tasty treats are so super easy to whip up! Find the recipe here. Even better, you can personalize them however you'd like making them a crowd favorite!

Halloween throwback with the cousins!

23!

Today is my 23rd birthday! I did a little pre-birthday celebrating over the weekend and am planning some birthday festivities for this weekend so today has been blissfully laid-back. Just some shopping and lunch with Jay (plus presents of course!) followed by some baking and just hanging out. A perfect way to start my 23rd year :)
Here's some old birthday pictures from years past: 

Second Birthday!

Fourth Birthday!

Sixth Birthday!
(Fun Fact: I've had that same Friendly's Watermelon Sherbet Roll ice cream cake every year since I was 6!)

new beginnings or bittersweet endings?

promises of a fresh start from the muted sun

condemning and damnation from the fiery pulpit crooner.

both turned to sand by her indifference

this moment alone matters.

the here and now, the immediate present

this gift he's given her, staying here

softly beside her in this vast expanse

of white.
