I once had a cupcake....

FRIENDS!!! I had a fabulous weekend!
To all of those who have Celiac disease or a gluten intolerance... Sweet Tooth Fairy has the best gluten free cupcakes! I normally would not spend my money on a single cupcake, but I felt like I can when it comes to these yummy things! Plus, I had a coupon for buy one get one free! It has been a little bit since I have had a gluten free cupcake but I made the last one I had. As I walked into the bakery, I was overwhelmed with the sweetness of cakes, and baked goods. I was greeted with a warm welcome, and could not stop smiling when I asked for my gluten free cupcake! Since I was with my mom, I felt like she should get the free cupcake, I got her a red velvet one (I hear those are to die for too!). I couldn't even wait to get home to eat it... yes I bit into in the car, and oh my goodness, it was heaven! The frosting was melting off the top of the cupcake, so it made it a messy but delicious treat! I was very proud of my cupcake purchase. I am embarrassed to admit this, but I ate it before I thought to take a picture, so I apologize!

I had kind of a crappy Saturday morning, so my therapy is different from everyone. I love to drive, clean and organize, and craft. So I took a drive to the craft store and thought of something to make. I had lots of fun. When I came home, I got rid of my papers from this semester, and other papers that I had just kept. I filled up a grocery paper bag of paper to recycle... wow! I feel that my room is a less junky looking, oh what college does to you, I swear the amount of paper I use each semester is enough to fill a forest. Not that I am a tree hugger, but really? I use a lot of paper and I need to cut back I guess. After making my room look fresh, I went to my craft.

I had no idea what I was doing, but I planned to make a wreath for the spring season. Here is a list of things I got just in case some of you want to try, which I am sure you will do a much better job than I did.
-Styrofoam wreath, 8 inches
-silk flower
- 9 ft of ribbon ( I ran out, so I would get two spools)
-buttons, different sizes and colors
-pins with color bead on top
-hot glue
That's it! It was pretty cheap too, and use coupons, to make it even less expensive! I had fun experimenting with where to put the buttons and the flower (which had to cover up the part of the wreath that had no ribbon) It turned out pretty good for my first wreath, next time, I could do better!

I hope you guys are enjoying the nice weather and now that school is out (ah a week will go by fast) I want to relax and not think about school and stress. Just keep smiling and life will bring great things! I love you guys! (Let's see if we can get to 2000 views, in the next couple of months!!!!!)

Potty Training and tips

I know most of you won't care about this post, but I know my future self will be grateful for it. Potty training is so tricky and it really tested my patience. I know everyone experiences it differently and each kid is different. I did a bunch of research on tricks and tips. I didn't just stick to one, I tried a few different ones and even combined some. Let's start from the beginning. Spencer and I wanted to have Evie potty trained before our new little one arrives. I can't even begin to tell you how many people told me I should wait until the new baby came. A good chunk of these same people told me Evie was too young (she is 22 months) and it wasn't worth my time to even try. Here's the thing; I kind of get why people told me these things, but it really made me doubt my abilities to teach Evie a hard task. Let's all be kind and not mom shame those who try things differently and earlier than others. I am with her all day, every day and paid attention to a...

Help me raise money for a cause (Part 1)

As many of you know, I have Type 1 Diabetes for 10 years in August 2013. For those of you who don't know, I would like to share my story (in summary). At the end of the school year while in the 5th grade I started to lose my vision. Things started to change quickly inside of my body. I was never feeling fully energized and I was constantly feeling like I had to go to the bathroom and drink lots of water. I started to lose weight and the color in my cheeks started to disappear. The first two weeks in the 6th grade I weighed a scarce 73 pounds. My eyes were sunk in and my cheek bones were poking out. My mom took me to the doctors. After a quick finger prick, they found out that my blood sugar was 831mg/dl. (Normal target range is 80-120 mg/dl) That was a very dangerous number! I was then told I had to be taken directly to Primary's; I couldn't even go home to get things. Both my mom and I were in a mix of emotions. Not long after being admitted to the hospital, I was given th...

Shiveley's take California 2015

This is our California adventure. Lots of pictures here because I didn't want to blow up your Instagram feed or Facebook feed Spencer and I have been dying to go back to California pretty much since we got back from our honeymoon. (I don't really remember the exact time though). Suddenly we were saving up and then we bought our tickets to an Angel's game as soon as they were available. We were like little kids and were counting down the days until we could go. Finally the time came for us to leave our little apartment for a few days to enjoy our vacation. We woke early on the day we left and literally hit zero traffic. Of course I drifted off for a little bit, as I normally do on road trips. While driving we came upon this huge and long cloud that covered the road. It was way neat, so naturally I snapped a picture in the midst of it. On our way there we realized we were making great timing. We arrived in Vegas around 11:30ish. We decided we needed to get out and stret...
