So, you're going to be a big sister

In case you haven't heard the good news...Travis and I are happy to announce that we are increasing the population of our little suburb by one! He or she is expected to arrive in September, we couldn't be more excited/nervous/happy/scared and all the other crazy emotions that come with bringing a child into the world. Hah!

Lessons from my First Blog Conference

I attended my first blogging conference this past weekend and I just can't wait to share what I learned with you. If you're a blogger, I highly suggest checking out a conference in your area and if you're in the Houston area and didn't attend the Thrive Blog Conference you HAVE got to come next year!

Easter Basket Cupcakes

Easter has always been one of my favorite holidays after Christmas of course. My parents and grandparents always made it so special with a new Easter dress for church, Easter baskets, a delicious feast and of course a huge Easter egg hunt for all of the kiddos. 

My mom is a talented baker, {I get it from my mama} growing up she made each holiday fun for us way before Pinterest creativity was the norm. For Easter we made Easter basket cupcakes and I've kept up this fun tradition in my household as well. They are always a huge hit with kids and adults because they are just so fun and delicious. If you haven't tried making these yet, pin this post and make it a tradition with your family this year. 

Here's what you'll need...so simple!
