Patrick’s Birthday Cake
So today is Patrick’s 29th birthday! Happy Birthday Patrick! We are celebrating Patrick’s birthday this week. I didn’t plan anything crazy like I did last year.

Happy Valentine’s Day!! I hope you are all having a wonderful day so far and that your honey is treating you well! 🙂 I am currently on Day 1 of my Detox and it is going well so far. I am really excited and really focused so we shall see how it goes. I wanted to make some yummy treats before I went on this detox because I knew that I wouldn’t be able to enjoy candy on Valentine’s day. So I made Red Velvet Cupcakes with buttercream frosting. HOLY MOLY! What a way to kick off my detox. They were absolutely delicious! I was kind of scared that they…
