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!!!!!)

What being in college has taught me

I know I have been terrible at writing on my blog the past couple of months. School has engulfed my attention and honestly blogging has been the last on my priority list. I wanted to write blog about my college experience... since I graduate in 53 days. I am thrilled beyond words to be this close to being done. I had know idea it would feel like this nor that it would come so soon. In just a few short months I will be able to call myself a graduate of Health Promotion and Education with an emphasis in Community, also being eligible to become CHES (Certified Health Education Specialist) certified. Wow what a mouthful! Being in college was not like I expected, it was much more. I have been through the worst of worst and the best of best experiences. I would like to share with you what I have learned in the past four years (From beginning to end), I hope you can get a good laugh about it. To those who have yet to start college, I strongly encourage you to start thinking about going. You w...

Staying Organized with a Baby and a Budget

Happy 2019 everyone! I hope your year has started off great and I hope it continues to be wonderful! I would like to consider myself to be pretty organized. Some people may find it weird that I love to keep things tidy and have a spot for everything. I hate clutter and huge messes. Yes I know I have a baby who loves to get into everything, literally. So I have had to learn to let her be little and let there be messes. Like most people I know, I binge watched Netflix show "Tidying Up" with Marie Kondo and her KonMari Style. Although fairly organized before the show, I felt inspired to get rid of more and organize deeper. I feel SO much better when my house is clean and things are put away. Spencer always makes fun of me for this slightly OCD quality I have. As I have been taking night classes and not getting home until 9 pm I have found it easier to not want to clean up the kitchen before bed. I do it anyway. Does anyone else have to have a clean kitchen before they go to b...

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...
