Cupcake Friday

January 27, 2017 Rachel

Last Friday, I - and I'm guessing a little more than half the country - really needed a treat. It was a long, anxiety-ridden, busy week, capped off by what I will call a difficult Friday for our nation. After work, I quickly stopped into the Buttercup Bake Shop, a charming little bakery downstairs from my office. I'd never gone in prior, but knew that it would hit the spot for my emergency treat situation. As this Friday approached, I started to have yet another hankering for cupcakes...and so I'm declaring it Cupcake Friday...because we all need a treat at the end of the week!

What do you have planned for the weekend? We will be getting ready for a certain almost-four-year-old's birthday coming up and I'm planning to take my second prenatal yoga class tomorrow morning (more on that next week). Meanwhile, here are some fun links to keep you busy today. Have a great one all!

Do I need to own these in metallic? They are pricey, but I think I do.

I really want to make this blood orange vanilla upside down cake. 

Love these app ideas to make life easier

12 documentaries on Netflix to watch right now if you want the bejesus scared out of you

This matcha honey hot chocolate NEEDS to happen this weekend

12 kitchen tasks for toddlers --->and I'll add one more: peeling & breaking up bananas for baking!

Super pretty small batch red velvet sugar cookies

Oreo Cadbury Creme eggs are a thing and they are coming soon!

An ode to surviving mornings with your kids. This is me and it's been a rough couple of weeks.

And finally, a sad week for women, feminists and TV aficiondos. Here's why Mary Tyler Moore's legacy is so important
