Giant Triple-Chocolate Cupcakes

IMG_7092
Seriously, I'm having a rough week.
  • It's still January - will this month ever end?
  • Had a fight with my boss (and cried in his office - hate doing that).
  • Have no money because I caught up on all my Christmas bills and first-of-the-year taxes.
  • P.M.S. (see zits in above self-portrait)
Last night I decided to turn things around, so I made giant, triple-chocolate cupcakes, just because. And we ate them for dinner. All of us - including the dog. Needless to say, the little guy was bouncing off the walls at bedtime, but we were all in much better spirits.

This morning I was all pouty and weepy and Mike just hugged me and said, "if I was your boss, I'd give you the biggest raise I could." That lifted my spirits - almost as much as the chocolate. Almost.

"When life gives you PMS, make giant, triple-chocolate cupcakes. For dinner."

  8. Funny, the only vitamin that I have no trouble taking daily, is, CHOCOLATE!! Without the lows, there would be no highs, may you be rewarded soon with lots of highs to balance your universe. God knows and SHE is in control!

  10. I will definitely be making these! They sound delicious!!

    Good luck with the boss. I know it's hard (not to mention stressful) when management issues arise at work. I suggest venting as needed to us (your readers) and getting a daily dose of Dilbert. :)

    Keep up the great work on your blog!

  16. Hey Stephanie! We made it! Tomorrow is February!!! I think a celebration is in order!!!! Should we all dress up like groundhogs and go dance in the snow?? I thought about streaking naked through the neighborhood but I can't run that fast and it would probably give somebody a heart attack!!! Any ideas??

Star Wars Gift Bag Tags

Two years ago, for Walker's Star Wars birthday, I created Yoda tags to attach to the gift bags for the party. Little did I know these bag tags would become so popular on Pinterest! To date, these tags have been repinned almost 500 times!!! So I thought since there's so much interest, I'd add them to my Etsy shop . So now, for just $8.00 - you can receive the file electronically and print them for yourself! I jazzed them up a bit with some sliver glitter puff paint on the light saber and some silver ribbon to attach to the dollar store bags. Print as many or as few as you want! So, if you are planning a Star Wars party, check them out ! And may the force be with you!

Baby Shower Inspiration Boards

I got all excited about the baby shower inspiration board contest over at Sippycups Are for Chardonnay , but only ended up submitting this first one on time. I managed to pull the second together this weekend just for kicks and loved the colors, so thought I'd share here. The first board is call "Nesting Instincts" and the second is "Over the Rainbow". I think I could get addicted to creating these things.
