Alex and I have been on a cupcake kick and a few days ago I discovered the Velvet Sky Bakery. They specialize in cupcakes, and we are big fans after sampling these 6 different flavors. My favorite? Mint Oreo - it was amazing!
I know you can't really see them, but she has teeth (I'm amazed I even got her to open her mouth like that)! Her bottom two teeth officially broke through the gums sometime between last night and this morning.
My travel bug was back, so Alex, Nicole, and I took off for Palmyra this past weekend. Nicole did amazingly well - the only time I got frustrated with her was when she wouldn't take a nap in the car ride home, and she was just smiling and happy. Guess I can't complain too much about that!
We headed up on Friday and made a stop in Scranton (aka home of The Office) for some lunch. Alex looked online for recommendations of places to eat, and the result was the Keystone Restaurant. It had the best small town diner feel, and we enjoyed our hamburgers and hot dogs texas style (basically chili without beans, onions, and mustard). It was delicious!
We stayed at the Palmyra White House within walking distance of the Sacred Grove and the Temple. We had a whole house to ourselves, and it was perfect for our little family (although it can accommodate up to 10 people)! We hit all of the Church History sites:
My friend from business school started a business, Macadamia Threads, where she makes handmade, crocheted hats using funky yarns and unique buttons. I think they're pretty awesome, and I am amazed at her talent. Check the hats out here!
I found out about Kim's bows through some girls in my old ward. I love the simplicity of the headbands and bows, and they're so cute! You can check out her blog (click here) and her etsy shop (click here).
