The best is yet to come!

I have thoroughly enjoyed each stage of my life, but I've got to say that these mid-life years are really, really nice. Thanks for stopping by to check on this Austin Nana. I like the real thing, though, so come on! Drop by for a coffee date with me sometime soon.

3.2.1 cupcakes


The girls came over this afternoon and I used my Pinterest board to remember something simple and fun to do with them.
You mix 2 boxes of cake mix together in a large zip lock plastic bag. One of them has to be angel food cake mix....the other is up to you. I had a spice cake mix which really smelled great as we were 'mixing it' and baking it.



So, get a coffee cup. Put in 3 tablespoons of the dry mix. Add 2 tablespoons of water. Stir very well. Microwave for 1 minute. Let it cool a couple of minutes, then use a knife to slightly loosen around the edges. 




It should just fall out. It actually was fairly good. I added a bit of peanut butter to the top of mine and had it with my afternoon cup of coffee and cream. Nice little treat when you don't want a whole cake around the house.


One of these girls likes to dive into her cupcake.



ok, on to other stuff, now. That's why I chose the 3.2.1 method of cooking!

  2. One of the reasons I asked for that lens was to get 'close ups' of the girls, but they still move pretty fast, so most of them were too blurry! The 2 year old is constantly moving!!
