Happy Friday

Wow it's Friday!  I happy to say it will be a slow weekend for me, well that is after I finish the princess castle Cake ... LOL.  I really have no baking to do, but I'm sure I will find something to do .. lol.  Hopefully kick this stupid cold that has been hanging on to me!

Had to share the fun flower cookies I made for my friend for Mother's day.  I used my go to for Sugar Cookie recipe.  I then made 1/4 of the batch pink and 3/4 of the batch yellow (which came out more orange).  I used my cupcake middle cutter (takes the middle out of cupcakes so you can add jams etc) and cut the centers out of the cookies.  Used that same tool to make my centers.  I had a few circles left at the end and baked those too!  Of course served with a tub of my favorite Sturdy Buttercream Frosting.

On the diet side I've been sticking to it, it's been SLOW verse last time loosing.  It's frustrating but I'm sticking with it.  As of Sunday I was down 3.8 lbs.  I'm going to try the Omni drops starting tomorrow.  I have a friend who sells it and has lost 25 lbs in 3 weeks!  So I leave you with diet humor!

Have a Happy Weekend!

Then Comes Baby ... Mom to be Kit

After the wedding comes baby, in my case baby #1 came home from the honeymoon with us.  My dear friend is having baby #2 and it was her birthday so I did a duel gift.  I thought it would be fun to do a Mom to be Kit for her.   I looked on pinterest and didn't find exactly I wanted so I went and picked up what I always wanted when I was pregnant.  I think it turned out pretty darn cute.  Next time I may add some fun ribbon and a baby themed item glued onto the front of the basket but overall I was really happy with it.

What you Need:

A Good Book (who doesn't want to put their feet up and read)

Sprite (for upset tummy)

Pretzels (always good to snack on)

Red Vines (always a good snack too)

Saltines (Helps with tummy)

Gum (Mint helps with tummy)

Chicken Noodle Soup (Reminds me of childhood)

Tea

Chocolate (who doesn't need chocolate)

Plastic Cup with Straw

Crystal Light or Store Version

Basket

I won a giveaway a while back so I have a ton of bins on hand which helps since you all know my love of gifts in a bin.  I put some tissue paper in the bottom to make it easy to prop up everything.  I then placed the items in the bin and arranged it to make it look the best.  I really like how it turned out and my friend really enjoyed it.

Give it a whirl I'm sure you'd make any mom to be very happy!
