Miniature Cupcakes

This is my last cupcake post for the year, I promise!  But when I came to 'm,' all I could think was 'my' or 'mini'... so then I thought of the millions of mini cupcakes we made for Cupcake Day 2011!


From right: my wonderful mother, who gave up her only sleep-in Saturday this month to get us to the church and bake all day; my brother Jon; and Joseph, a volunteer from the middle school group.  In the left/background area, you can see my brother Eddie's head behind another volunteer, RJ.


My mother's and friend Hannah's hands frosting the first of the cupcakes.


Cupcakes! Yum. :)


And more cupcakes! Only prettier this time ;)

    Hey! I remember the last picture! That was fun! But on a serious note, I sincerely hope that those fliers raised awareness about abortion. Can you wait till next year?!

    Hey Nathan! I can't believe you actually commented! *fake gasp* Haha, I am excited for next year, yes. Right now, though, I'm trying to 'live in the moment' and focus on other pro-life events - like yesterday's Silent Solidarity Day.

When eighteen-year-old Levi returned from Denver City with his latest scavenged finds, he never imagined he’d find his village of Glenrock decimated, loved ones killed, and many—including his fiancée, Jem—taken captive.

One thing you, my lovely readers, may not be aware of - or may be confused about - is that I wear glasses.  Most of the images on my blog show me wearing my lovely Vera Bradley glasses, although my main photo (see me in the green dress in the right sidebar?) was taken while I was wearing contacts. My entire family actually wears glasses, contacts, or a combination.  That adds up to a good deal of money in eye doctor appointments, prescriptions, and new glasses - lens and frames - and contacts.  So when Firmoo , an international online glasses company, approached me about a review and giveaway, of course I said yes!
