Favorite Things

It's the first day of May and I'm so excited for summer to be here!

I just got back from taking a final and only have one more left this Thursday. It's so crazy how this semester is winding down.

Well, since I've had some free time, I've been looking at dozens of recipes and dreaming about when I'll be back home and able to cook and bake whenever I want. Oh, the joys of a fully stocked kitchen!

First up are these sugar cookie tacos. Such a simple idea that is way too adorable. These are definitely at the top of my to-do list. Perfect for parties!


The next two are from one of my new favorite blogs, that I stalk look at daily. It's called Cookies & Cups and you should really go check it out. Not only is she really funny, but her treats are so yummy. Even if you don't plan on making any of them, you should at least go drool over the pictures.

These s'mores cupcakes make me die a little inside. One of my favorite things to do, inside or not, no matter what time of year, is to make s'mores. I'm a little ashamed to say that I've definitely made them over a stove top (more than once). There's nothing that screams summertime treat to me more than a s'more.

The second treat are the key lime pie ice cream sandwiches. I mean, what a great idea! It's another perfect summertime treat- and key lime pie is one of my daddy's favorite desserts. That's a double win for this recipe. I can't wait to make up some!

I plan to make each of these sometime over the summer and am going to try to post my results up here. So, in other words, I need taste testers!!

Christmas Eve!

I can hardly believe it's already Christmas eve!! It doesn't even feel like it's December yet. This year has flown by so quickly.

I've spent my day today baking cookies, sewing on my Toms, making brown sugar body scrub for presents, and helping mom make her tortilla cup dessert.

It's been a really nice day, being able to relax and spend time with my parents. (Poor Lin is having to work today)

I'm about to have to get ready to go to our Christmas Eve service at Grace tonight at 6:30. Most of our family will be going and I always enjoy this service.

Have a Merry Christmas! I know I won't post tomorrow, but hopefully I will soon after.
