The Sweet Life

I just thought I would share some sugary sweetness with you all.  One more day and it's Friday!!!  I'm so glad I no longer wake up during the middle of the week wanting it to be Friday so it's the weekend and I'm off from work. Life just goes by way too fast that way.  Anyway one of the main reasons I went to D.C. ( I'm back in Texas now) was to celebrate my niece's 2nd birthday. I wish we could have spent just a little more time together.  She warmed up to me the day before we left...typical...that always happens. 

Hope everyone loves cupcakes...Bella sure did!!

Photo Shop Love

Since I've been in D.C. there has been a lot of shopping.  Yesterday my sister drove me and my sister out of the city and into the country.  We stopped by some antique shops that my sister has been telling us about and saw so many pretty things.  Hope you enjoy the photos.

A bit of my Weekend

It took me a long while to finally sit down and watch Julie & Julia but once I did, I loved it.  Since then I've received a Julia Child cookbook and have already tabbed down the recipes I want to try out.  Over the weekend my sister took my family out to the National Mall.  We went to the Natural Museum of American History and I was really excited to see that Julia's show kitchen was there :)

I wish I had a kitchen this big...wouldn't that be lovely??

By the end of the night it became freakishly windy...and cold.  It was a little too much for the southern girl in me.  We were suppose to watch the firework display for the Cherry Blossom Festival so we took cover behind the Washington Monument.  The wind seemed to be coming from every direction and eventually we left...early :(
