My mom came for a visit over the long weekend and snapped this picture of me and Amelia. It's my favorite picture of us!

I've been out of town, and stayed away longer because there was a haboob and other crazy weather. Also, my momma is visiting, and we decided to go to Old Navy during Memorial Day weekend. Obviously we survived, but just barely. Somehow, I managed to read a few blogs this week and here are my faves.

I want to plant some succulents and not kill them! Here's a simple how to

I like spying on other people's reading lists. I might be stalking you on Goodreads.

I love making risotto, so I'll definitely need to try this recipe.

I loved Kara's design for one of her finals. I would buy this product because of the cute packaging!

I feel I need to buy this for my gamer husband. His hands are always freezing! He will get over how cute it is. (Seriously we have a Hello Kitty bathroom, he will get over it)

Happy reading! Let me know if there is a blog post you really enjoyed this week, I'd like to check it out!

Happy 5 Months Babycakes!

Today Amelia is 5 months old! Time has flown, and half a year will have passed soon! I've been craving sweets and curious about what is actually in red velvet cupcakes. After looking at a recipe, turned out I had everything on hand, except red food coloring. Luckily I had hot pink food coloring, so I made pink velvet cupcakes.





Amelia loved watching the mixer, and I managed to get powdered sugar everywhere.







I also managed to double line every other cupcake. I have no idea what was going on there. Lol.





I think they turned out pretty awesome (I only had 5 for dinner). It was my first time making a cream cheese frosting. I used Paula Dean's recipe, I tweeted the link or find it here.

Although its a little late, here are my favorite reads from around the blogosphere.

My favorite new iPhone photography app

If I lived in Marfa I would sneak into all the beautiful weddings.

I love how positive and inspiring Kelly Rae Roberts is, and the fact that she's not afraid to share her journey.

I'm sure we will be needing some Tangled Tantrums in the near future.

If you haven't heard Elsie and Emma from A Beautiful Mess just launched their amazingly cute photo app. I may be up all night playing with all the cute features. So much cute for only .99!
