{the candy shoppe}

A few days ago my babes were with me for a morning full of errands, and whole lot of running around. So not fun for the kiddos. So I told them if they were really good I would take them to the candy shop; and they could pick out a treat. They were so excited~ Works everytime :) I found out that candycorns are Zoee's favorite {fa-bo-wit as she would say} love it!
*i promise i don't feed my kids treats all day everyday :)

{some for moi}

After making little Z some headbands, sis and I decided to get together to make some for ourselves. Of course I am sure I will stick them on Zoee too. We like to share~ Here are a couple i made. PS: I feel sheepish about these picts ! ahhh!--i was trying to get the headband--and then do you look or not look? who the heck knows! so whatev :) I kept the picts very small :)

{My Cousin AMY!! is making these crocheted headbands!I love mine~the perfect width & everything. She does such a great job! any takers? }

{plates, plates, plates}

I have been adding, subracting, and rearranging the plate wall in my kitchen. Here is the finished product...I think.....but I am not sure I am in love yet....hmmm.....the search continues???

this pict is kinda crappy--my wall color is actually a light green-but you get the idea..

I got a question on how you hang the plates. All you do is get these little

plate hangers {they come in all sizes and colors} from Michaels; or any store like that. Then you just plan your layout and hang them right up. So easy~

{a ~sweet~ day}

drew had the day off yesterday, so we decided to head to SLC with C&Z; and check out a couple little shops i had heard about. First up on the agenda was Mini's Cupcakes voted Best cupcake shop of 2009 by the salt lake city weekly {let them eat cupcakes!}. When I walked in the front door, i was in absolute heaven! the place is decorated floor to ceiling with fun vintage stuff~ tons of retro tables&chair sets, sofas, and pink striped walls! it is seriously darling! and i did take a bite of the cupcakes--yummers! Zoee got The Diva cupcake (fitting i know!) - Dark Belgium Chocolate Cupcake with Pink Crème Cheese Frosting.
and Caleb got the Breakfast at Tiffany's cupcake-Madagascar Vanilla Bean Cupcake with Tiffany Blue Crème Cheese Frosting topped with edible gems!
