Marshmallow Popcorn Balls

Happy Halloween!!! My kids are so fricken excited for today. Every time Little Mister sees anything Halloween he yells “haaoweeenn”.

I love Halloween. It’s not my fav holiday, which is totally 100% Christmas but Halloween is fun. I loved going trick or treating and eating candy as a kid.

Easter Mini Egg and Peep Cupcakes (Devil’s Food Cupcakes and Vanilla Buttercream)

I’ve decided that Easter is my favorite holiday.  There’s chocolate and bunnies and Mini Eggs (my fav candy of all time).  All good things in my book.  But then you add the cute factor with little girls dressed up in beautiful pastel dresses and boys in dress shoes and ties.  For a holiday, it doesn’t get much better than that.  Easter is all about the cute. keep reading
