2 weeks late, but better late than never. Yesterday was a beautiful day honoring a beautiful girl. It was so much fun to just be little again, and have a tea party complete with pink cupcakes and sweet orchid vanilla tea. We let balloons go, they got stuck in the trees, but found a way out after a few minutes, and just enjoyed the gorgeous day. Oh, and we kinda sorta took a few pictures! It was a successful day, and we will be having one next year for sure!
You're never too old to be young again!

Friends Are Like Stars...

...Sometimes you can't see them but you know they're always there. I love my friends. I love every single thing about every one of them. They can make me smile when I feel like crying, we can be crazy together, and we all just get each other. I'm so grateful to have people like this in my life. I'm excited because my mom still talks about and is friends with her best friends from high school. And starting high school this year means that when I'm a forty something mom, I'll still remember them. But then again, they are hard to forget. Thanks best friends. ♥

(We're not freaks all the time, I promise. We just dressed up like Lady Gaga.)

Cupcakes!

If you haven't seen or bought the book 'Hello Cupcake', you're missing out. They have the cutest cupcake decorating ideas and I'm in love with it! Today I made the slumber party cupcakes for a sleepover I'm going to tonight!
