How could I not fall in love with the blog lily jane? It is my first born's name after all. One of her latest posts boasts a diy tutorial for these fun Groundhogs Day cupcakes. I think two little ladies (and one little man obsessed with sweets) will find these the perfect afternoon snack on Wednesday.

I particularly love his shadow!

daydreaming.

I've been daydreaming of a citrus themed birthday party lately. All of my kids have their themes picked for this years birthdays, but I just may try to sway one of them. Here are some citrus party inspirations that have gotten the juices flowing, hopefully they will for you too.

Lime Slice invitation

I think it would be pretty easy to make something similar to this on your own to save on the cost of the birthday party.

Lemon spice cupcakes with gummy citrus candy as a topper.

juice boxes designed by student Yunyeen Yong

seen on black*eiffel and the starting point of the citrus inspiration.

Fun cake ideas, while these are definitely wedding cakes, they are a good jumping off point for a fun cake.

love this dessert table from none other than amy atlas, seen on hostess, perfectly implementing all the citrus colors.

I recently found these amazing DIY candy necklaces on paper and cake, and think it would be the perfect party favor in pink, orange, yellow and green.

Anyone else on board for my citrus themed birthday party? Now to convince the kiddos...

fail.

The other day I attempted to make my own version of kettle corn.

It was a complete fail.

Any tried and true recipes out there you'd care to share?
please and thank you.

nursery lust.

I want this nursery in my house. Words cannot describe how in love with it I am.

sucre {giveaway!}

I recently received a sample from Sucre. Their holiday macaroon collection. I didn't even want to open the box it was presented so beautifully. Upon opening I was greeted with these bite size macaroons in hot pink and brown, they had a shiny finish and were topped with chocolate drizzle and candy cane. They looked too good to eat, but we ate them anyway.

Holiday Macaroon Collection

They were crunchy and sweet, melt in your mouth and perfectly delicate. They would make the perfect hostess gift, grandparent gift, spouse gift, stocking stuffer.. or just because gift.

Peppermint Drinking Chocolate + Marshmallows

Browsing Sucre's site I came upon their peppermint drinking chocolate. I would love to find this in my sock Christmas morning. Oh how I love a good cup of cocoa. Be sure to check out all their sweets and treats, I've been more than impressed with everything I've ever tried from Sucre.

subway christmas art.

A friend emailed me this link last week. I LOVE this simple yet fun Christmas decor. Blog eighteen25 has a free downloadable version of the subway print you can send to your local Costco or photo center, then buy yourself a frame and voila you're done. The banner and glitter trees look pretty simple as well. Happy Crafting!
