<div style="text-align: center;">
That's it!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the words of one of my favorite chef's Ina Garten, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"How easy was that???" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are really a million different takes on this easy dessert, but I thought I would keep it festive!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can switch out the Oreos for any flavor, use whipped cream instead of Cool Whip and what ever candy is your favorite. When I put this dessert together I used the left over candy that we filled our Easter eggs with! So this is a perfect dessert for all that left over candy!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Easy right??</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you all have a very blessed Easter!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks for stopping by!</div>

Hi Friends!</div>
<div align="center">
I am going to take it back a few years to Gracie's 3rd Birthday party! Gracie LOVED the Disney movie <em>Lemonade Mouth</em> so I decided to make the theme for her 3rd Birthday, Lemonade Mouth Rock -n- Roll Party!!</div>
<div align="center">
We had just purchase and outdoor movie screen and part of the fun was playing the movie and songs during the party....</div>
<div align="center">
So here are some photos from the big day!!</div>

Hi All!!</div>
<div align="center">
I am thrilled to announce that just his week I it 10,000 views!!! I've only been blogging for about three years and this year consistently and I am just so happy to know that I actually do have some listeners out there!! So THANK YOU to all those that read my posts and stop by here and there for inspiration!!</div>
<div align="center">
Now back to business!</div>
<div align="center">
This past week our daughter Gracie had her 5th birthday, which also happens to be her "Golden Birthday" as she turned five on September 5th!!</div>
<div align="center">
Everyone has at least one golden birthday, its a fun little thing that my husband mentioned and I just rolled with it!</div>
<div align="center">
So if you know me you know I LOVE a party and more so love throwing a party. Getting things together, coming up with a theme and bringing things to life is really my passion. The one thing I have always done since Gracie's first birthday is make her birthday cake and cupcakes. I really want my kids to grow up and look back and say "Wow, Mommy went all out for us for our birthday!!" Growing older should be a joy and creating those memories should be just as fun!</div>
<div align="center">
This year we decided to keep it a little low key and had her party at a local gymnastics facility, but I let Gracie choose her "theme" and she asked for a mermaid cake and cupcakes (not too much pressure!).</div>
<div align="center">
So, without further adieu, here are some cute memories from Gracie's Golden Birthday. I will give you info on how I make her cupcakes at the end of this post!!</div>
<div align="center">
ENJOY!!</div>

Cute right? The cupcakes were super easy!</div>
<div align="center">
The shell cupcakes were made with white Oreos. All I did was very carefully take them apart and then just used the tip of a sharp knife to draw the lines of the shell.... for the oyster shells, again I used white ores. I added some hot pink icing and a gum ball for the pearl! Then I chopped up some graham crackers to make sand!! Pretty simple, but takes patience and some time!! </div>
<div align="center">
Anything for my "golden" girl!!!</div>

As Labor Day has come and gone I thought I would share a special cupcake family tree I created in honor of my husbands 60th Family Picnic. It's a weekend celebration that brings together more than 100 family members on my husbands maternal side of the family. It's the one time of year where we all get together, eat, drink and share stories, memories, laughter and tears all weekend long..... For us this is the "official" end of summer... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This tree took me a total of eight hours to create, bake and ice and it was worth every second! It was the least I could for such a special family!!</div>

A little history on this family tree....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It all started with my mother in laws grandparents that migrated here from Italy. Rocco & Carmella made their home in the United States and had nine children which are represented by the nine apples on the tree.... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
From the "original nine" as everyone in the family refers to them, has evolved a growing family of 158 (and counting) and I am honored to be able to say I am a part of it!! </div>
