So Very Sleepy

Hello Sweets,

I'm tired :( This whole moving process is wearing me out, and making me sore. Which is why my post today is going to be a check in/what's up with me post. I promise tomorrow we'll be back to baking some yummy treats, pinky promise!

So I cleaned out my part of the deep freeze today, along with a good portion of my cupboard (don't worry I left enough for me to survive). My grandfather and I brought it all over to my new place **happy dance**, and now my kitchen is starting to really come together. Now with that being said, I'll probably reorganize it a bujillion times over the next week or so, but that is just me and I'll want it perfect lol. I know for sure there is one cupboard that won't be changed at all. That is my tea and spices cupboard, that's because it is a small narrow cupboard so it's just the right size for them! Tomorrow I'll be bringing a little more food over and also a small piece of furniture for my bathroom. Anyone who knows me knows I love to organize, so this is going to make my bathroom counter clean and that's harder for us girls ;) I'm also going to pick up some new baking pans, because some were ruined by a cleaning solution and one seems to have disappeared O_o Luckily there is a sale on Wilton (my favorite baking brand) products so I'm getting the good stuff! While I'm buying that I also need to buy a step stool since my shoulders are always in pain. Slowly but surely I'm making my new apartment a home, I'll take some progress pics tomorrow to share with y'all.

For now I am back to my final stages of packing, anyone want to come finish this for me? Lol can you tell I hate packing, doesn't help that I'm tired and sore already. *Sigh* Just thinking about getting to work is making me sleepy, enough procrastinating I am off! Until next time....

Stay sweet,

Long and Overdue

Hello Sweets,

Well it's been almost two and a half months since I posted :/ Life has been a little crazy lately and busy too, but I had the urge to give y'all an update as to what is going on with me. I haven't been in the kitchen as much as I would like to be, but that doesn't mean I haven't been creating when I am. I have a few recipes that I have not shared with y'all, so I should have no reason to not put some posts out for everyone.

Part of the reason I've been busy lately is that I am searching for a new apartment, well actually I was ;) Yup I found my perfect apartment and it's even a new build, so everything will be brand new!! I was starting to feel a little hopeless while searching, then I passed this apartment building and knew I had to apply. Have you ever had the feeling that something was meant to be? That is exactly how I felt about this place, I could see myself in the apartment and everything. I was so confident that this was where I was destined to move to, some people would say that's crazy but it worked for me! Needless to say I've been going through all of my boxes in storage, purging everything I should have the last time I moved lol. I move in to my new home on the first of February, and I couldn't be more excited :D Here are some pics of the building in progress, they're not great but you get the idea;

my apartment is not on the street side, woohoo!

brand new bathroom

it's small, but I don't need a huge space so it's perfect!!

I didn't do anything for Halloween :( but I can thank my fun time health issues for that. Christmas was quiet too, I spent the holidays with Nathan and his family in Texas. Nothing too big but just enough of the holiday spirit to make you smile. Now the way we spent New Years eve was pretty amazing, we flew above the Dallas area checking out the Christmas lights from above until about 11pm. Then we went home to ring in the new year with a glass of bubbly and some cuddles. Check out some pretty lights from above;
