It’s Friday! The first day of summer vaca! YIPPEE!

No more teachers, no more books, no more mean girls’ dirty looks…

{I’m dancing in the streets now. Give me two weeks before I start complaining how she’s totally bored and when is school going to start again already???}

Did you all have a good week?

I made you some good sugar this week. Let’s look back, shall we?

1. The Pie That Started It All:

To numb my brain during long softball games or exercise, I think about themed treats.

And I thanked the bestmostawesome teacher.

Now it’s summer, my daughter is home 24/7, and she’s a second grader.

Excuse me while I go cry into my pillow.

2. Jordan bridged to brownies on Monday. I made cupcakes. And she walked over an actual bridge. So the ceremony is quite literal.

3. The ICEE cupcakes were so popular, I promptly got an order for 30 of them. I now think Target has my face on a poster reading WANTED: Straw Stealer.

4. Our room moms had a really cute idea for the end-of-year teacher gift. Everyone donated what they could and they made a poster.

5. Tell me if this is creepy: a man sits at a park with a sign that says “Free Ukulele Lessons” and kids go up to him (without their parents present) and he lends them an instrument and teaches them to play. Creepy? Yes? I thought so too. Actually happened one day after school this week. I never quite know what to do in those situations. (Except watch the guy like a hawk until he leaves the park.)

6. Time for Flashback Friday! This one is seriously, hands down, one of my favorite pies ever. And it’s a WW recipe!

7. So…you may have noticed a few changes ’round these parts. I changed up my page tabs, some of my dividers and a few other things. I hope you like what I’ve done! I did them myself, with the help of PicMonkey. But I wanted to say, I could not have done any of it without the fabulous Ashton from Something Swanky and her blog design tutorials. She’s got easy, step-by-step tutorials for social media buttons, post dividers, and more! Go check them out, you’ll totally be inspired to give yourself blog a face-lift.

Have a great weekend everyone! See ya’ next week.

  1. I love these links. That apple crumb pie looks amazing, and the pb pie recipe. Mmm! I’ve also been playing around with design tutorials and picmonkey recently. It’s a bit addicting.

  2. Bridging to brownies!! Oh my word, that brings back memories. Awkwardest picture of me to date. 😉 Good thing you got a cute picture of your daughter.

    I pick up at least six straws when we buy Icee’s at target because my kids keep dropping them on the floor. I’m pretty sure by now they’ve calculated all those extra missing straws into the price 😉 Totally justified.
