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!

Don’t spend today wishing for tomorrow. Find five Don’t spend today wishing for tomorrow. Find five things every night that you’re thankful for, and BE thankful for them. So much of our lives are spent waiting for the next best thing when in reality, it’s sitting right in front of us.
If there’s anything I’ve learned in this life, it’ If there’s anything I’ve learned in this life, it’s to SLOW DOWN.

So much of life is spent going, going, going. Waiting for the next stage. Telling ourselves, “Once we get through this, things will be easier.” Once the kids are older. Once life settles down. Once we have more time. But what if we’re missing the whole point? Because the moments we’re so eager to get through ARE the moments.

Today is the important stuff. The ordinary days. The messy days. The little conversations, the giggles, the routines, the chaos, the moments that don’t feel significant while we’re living them. We spend so much time wishing for the next chapter that we forget we’re already living one we’ll someday wish we could go back to.

So slow down.

Be here.
Pay attention.
Let the moment take as long as it needs to.

Because someday, these will be the days we miss.

This is your permission slip to let the crafts be This is your permission slip to let the crafts be messy. 

They don’t need to match your house. They don’t need to be Pinterest-worthy. They don’t need to be made with a neutral color palette and a Cricut. They just need to be theirs.

Because someday I’m probably going to miss the paper scraps, the glue everywhere, the questionable color combinations, and the little masterpieces I had no idea what to do with. Let them make the ugly craft. Let them make a mess. Let them create something that looks nothing like what you had in mind.

Childhood doesn’t have to be aesthetically pleasing to be beautiful.

This is NOT a post to bash moms that are happy the This is NOT a post to bash moms that are happy their kids are going back to school. My neighbors and I commiserate all summer long about how long the days are, how frustrating the kids can be, how much they’re fighting, etc. 

But my days are always like that, and even though it’s exhausting and overwhelming at times, I wouldn’t trade it for the world. Even if I only have ONE moment like this a day, it’s one moment a day I could miss out on if they were in a traditional school. 

So here’s to whatever choice you are making in regards to your kids education. What’s best for YOU is most important. And what’s best for us is this.

turns it into an activity. We spent the afternoon mixing the slime, experimenting with different textures, and (of course) testing out the ridiculously funny booger and fart pranks. 🤣

My girls were completely entertained, and I loved watching them create, experiment, and laugh together. It feels like pure fun for the kids, but there’s actually some pretty cool science and engineering behind it all, plus Mark Rober walks you through even more with the QR code inside the kit.

Who in your family would be the first prank target?

A core memory I didn’t know I’d be making… This w A core memory I didn’t know I’d be making…

This weekend at church, my daughter got to light the candles for the first time. At the end of the service, when she went up on her own to extinguish them, proud tears dropped from my eyes. And as I looked around at others, I noticed I wasn’t the only one. 

If you had asked me in my early to mid twenties, I wouldn’t have imagined how much this community, this faith, and these little traditions would come to mean to our family. There was a season of my life, long before I became a mom, where I drifted away from actively going to church. Now, getting to watch my girls grow up surrounded by faith, love, and a church family who knows them and celebrates them feels like such a gift.
