Simple Spider Cupcakes

Since Julia's birthday (October 23) falls around Halloween, we have created Halloween themed cupcakes for her birthday bashes at school.

For her class party this year, we found several versions of these cute (and of course SIMPLE) spider cupcakes on Pinterest and we whipped them up in no time!

All it took was a package of Oreo cookies, black licorice cut for legs, and mini morsels 'glued' into place with some leftover icing.

Kirsten's 7th Birthday Breakfast

Today we celebrate Kirsten's 7th birthday! I am continuously amazed by her carefree spirit and the happiness she exudes!

We started our morning with our favorite special occasion breakfast... Cake Batter Pancakes! Just replace one of your two cups of Bisquick pancake mix with one cup of cake batter.  Prepare as usual.  Add a few tablespoons of sprinkles to the batter.  

Top with powdered sugar mixed with a little milk and some additional sprinkles... Crazy delicious!
