Strawberry Sprinkles Cupcake Recipe | Diada Biada

Sprinkles Cupcakes is always a treat because #1...they're $$$ and #2...we live so far from the nearest location!!! So what better way to get a bite of this sophisticated take on a classic American cupcake??? Have DIADA BIADA bake 'em for you!!! They taste just like the real thing too!~ Only downside...we used the food processor, stand mixer, and hand mixer. There sure was a lot of cleaning up to do! :)

(I completely forgot to take a picture of the final product =( ...we were too busy eating & passing them out to the neighbors)

Recipe from here!

D&R Princess Party | Already 4

Low on milk...again...

My 2-year-old can drink a gallon of milk in just a week so we're always making trips to Costco or going on late night runs to the local supermarket. I prefer to run errands without the hassle of loading and unloading kids, stroller, groceries...having to feed/change in the car...and the possibility of a meltdown. Just yesterday, I went out at 10PM to pick up some milk, when I found myself walking up and down every aisle...walking at a snail's pace...reading ingredient labels...looking for sale items...talking to strangers. Then I texted a friend of mine:

"Going to the market at 10PM without kids feels like a mini-vacation!"

Moms are nocturnal. We are productive at night. Evenings are golden. We strive when the house is quiet and kids are asleep. So if we're not making late night runs to Target...of course we're cutting glittery tulle to make the most adorable DIY princess tutus!!!

A tiara doesn't make you more precious or pretty because God has created you in His image. We pray you girls will take delight in the Lord and be an outshining of His glory. Happy Birthday to D&R!

Now onto the pictures!!!
