  • Recipe: Mud Pie Cups

    Last month was Ethan’s birthday and he made a request for homemade mud pie for his party. Mud pie has been a staple at family birthday parties for as far back as I can remember, but Ethan threw a little wrench in my plans when he asked…”Can they each have a little individual mud pie…like a cupcake??” CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!!!

I don’t know if it was because the snow just kept coming (WELL into March) or if I just woke up on the lazy side of the bed this month, but I was in NO hurry to pull out the spring decor around here. Now that I have FINALLY started though…it feels SOOOO good. There is just SOMETHING about Spring…like a fresh start after a LONG season of BLECH. SHOP SIMILAR: I started by simplifying and adding spring decor in my dining nook. These open shelves are ALWAYS my favorite to decorate. With very…
