Hello friends, and Happy Fri-Yay!
You guys know that I have been on this baking kick lately but I definitely need to scale back before the bathroom scale steps forward too much! The problem seems to be there are so many new cake mixes on the market and those pretty colors just seems to draw me in – lol
Just take a look at these amazing Blue Velvet Cupcakes and tell me that they don’t draw you in!
It’s was also due to the fact that hubby was fasting for Ramadan so I liked to have something a little extra sweet for him to eat after his evening meal.
The recipe was easy, only calling for butter and eggs but the batter was thicker than regular cake batter. This was probably due to the fact that were more calories…I never check so it didn’t matter anyway.
After they cooled I frosted and then topped them with a fresh blueberries and sprinkles – another Duncan Hines dessert winner!
Which is your favorite, cake or cupcakes?
Stay Blessed ~ No Stress in 2014!
Don’t forget to come back at 6:00 p.m. for the #WWDParty!

Hello Friends and Happy Christmas Eve Eve!
This afternoon #2 son and I went to Costco and Target and it was a crazy madhouse, I left tired with a headache and empty handed (too many crying babies). I have one more day to get a gift for #1 son and do my grocery shopping for the week so I will be up and out early tomorrow.
Last night I attended a Holiday slash “Obama Victory Party” hosted by a member of a OFA team who touts themselves as the ones who gave a Pennsylvania victory to the President. The hostess has a beautiful home that was fully decorated with the sights and sounds of the holidays. The dining room table was festively set with delicious foods and sweets and Poinsettias filled each room. It was a wonderful mix of guests and for a few hours we bonded, sharing stories, laughs and genuinely enjoying each other’s company. It was a lovely way to start off the holiday weekend and for that I say, thank you Delores!”
Heading out for the night
I hope you guys have a wonderful night – Smooches!

I am still trying to come to grips with the fact that my oldest son is now 20 years old. Although he had been diagnosed as being mentally challenged there are so many things that he can do and does well, including driving. His birthday gift was a Tom Tom GPS from Best Buy to give him more comfort when driving to new destinations. Expanding his world giving him more freedom and us a sense of security made it the best gift, although he probably would have preferred a splash party like the ones he had when he was younger!
His choice for dinner was Ruby Tuesdays and I had a $10.00 gift card so of course it was a good choice for me as well!
