Let’s Eat Cake: Easy Cupcake Treats

5.26.2015

Cupcake Treats // Free Printable // Hostess Cupcakes TreatsHappy Day After Memorial Day! I hope you all had a wonderful free day off, followed by an excruciating morning of coming back to work. Or was that just me? Why is it so much harder to come in on a Tuesday morning after a Monday holiday? All I wanted was a cup of coffee and some mindless work. Which never happens. Of course there are a million things that need to be done now. So just in case you had a morning like mine, I’m going to do you a favor and give you an incredibly simple birthday gift project. Just in case you have a friend that has the audacity to have a birthday around a holiday. No one has time for that. But just between us, I already remembered to send my friend a card (point for me!).

Buy a pack of Hostess cupcakes, save and print this tag, and tie it with two candles (one for each cupcake) around the package. As fast as it will take you to put together, it’s really one of those “the thought that counts” gifts. At least that’s what you’ll tell your friends. And if they don’t appreciate it, send it my way. Lucy’s been itching to get her paws on some cupcakes.

Hope you all have a relaxing remainder of your day. Put your feet up and relax a little. Unless you’re still at work. That might be frowned upon.

      Thanks!! It’s really one of those “last-minute” easy gifts, which are my favorite types because I’m such a procrastinator. 😉

    I love those cupcakes, although I probably shouldn’t eat them. With a glass of cold milk, they’re delicious. Thanks for the great idea!

One day, instead of hearing little feet running th One day, instead of hearing little feet running through the house all day, I’ll be leaving voicemails hoping they call me back when they have time.

The sticky fingerprints will wash away, the car seats will come out, bedtime routines will end, and the house that once felt so loud will get quieter little by little.

It’s strange how the things that exhaust you in the moment become the very things you ache for later. 🤍
When did it become expected to spend hundreds of d When did it become expected to spend hundreds of dollars on Teacher Appreciation gifts? Don’t get me wrong, if it were in the budget you better believe it’s worth it. I am not advocating for giving them LESS, I’m just advocating for staying within your families budget. And maybe if we see more of these easy little inexpensive gifts, we can make it more acceptable to gift within budget. Because that’s what it’s all about. 

What’s that saying? It’s the thought that counts.
I’ve been seeing so many reels lately saying that I’ve been seeing so many reels lately saying that Mother’s Day is only for moms with small children. I couldn’t disagree more. To me, Mother’s Day is not just about me. It’s about the women who helped shape me, as a mother, a woman, a friend. It’s about my friends who help me be a better mother, even if they don’t have little kids themselves. It’s about my own mother, who is the biggest inspiration for me, to be a better mother myself. It’s about the many generations before me that allowed me to be a mother at all. It’s about every woman in my life that loves me and my girls as if they’re their own. That’s who I’ll be celebrating this Mother’s Day.

What are your kids always finding for you?
There’s something rare about being fully known and There’s something rare about being fully known and still fully loved. No shrinking yourself. No editing your personality.
Just being met where you are. That kind of friendship changes you.
It’s just a little walk… It’s just a little walk…
Unpopular opinion: kids don’t need more stuff. The Unpopular opinion: kids don’t need more stuff. They need more boredom. More freedom. More outside time. More chances to build a world out of sticks and dirt instead of asking for the next new thing.

I’m not interested in raising a child who expects constant entertainment or new toys. I want to raise one who knows how to create their own magic.

Something I tell my little girls all the time, yet Something I tell my little girls all the time, yet wish most grown women understood too. I see so many adults actively TRYING to fit in…work, church, neighborhood, sports, etc. 

You shouldn’t have to try. If you’re trying to be someone you’re not, it’s not right. For you, or for them. Your tribe will come along, I promise you. Even if that tribe is one person, it’ll be better than a hundred women who just don’t get you.
Listen. I’m all about having a good time. I love t Listen. I’m all about having a good time. I love to travel, I love to go out for dinner, I love having new clothes. But somewhere along the way, we’ve lost the ability to just say “No, I don’t want to spend the money on that.” 

Our budgets don’t always allow for the same experiences that our friend or neighbors may have, and that is perfectly okay. We need to stop overspending and start saving. We need to be financially secure before buying more junk that isn’t fulfilling, or going out for another dinner. 

Do you feel comfortable telling someone you don’t have the budget for something?
