Mason Jar Cupcakes
I have so many friends and family that live out of town it's nice to have mail-able gifts. This is my favorite to send to loved ones, everyone loves baked goodies!
You'll need:
Cake Mix (Boxed works great)
Frosting
Half-Pint Mason Jars
Follow the directions to prepare the cupcakes. Line the muffin pan with cupcake liners, and bake as package suggests. I used a mini-muffin pan for mine, but you can use whatever you have available.
Once out of the oven, let cupcakes cool completely - about 1 hour.
Cut cupcakes in half vertically. Place each half in sterilized jar, piping (or spooning) the frosting in between the halves. Frost top of cupcake. Seal jar with lid and band.
You can decorate the jar however you like. I used colored ribbons and made little tags that say "Enjoy!"
Freeze jars overnight, then pack jars securely in a box and mail. The cupcakes will defrost in the mail, and you'll loved one will receive a little yummy gift ready to enjoy!

My Old Navy Steal
Old Navy is running a great sale right now through Sunday - 50% off all Outerwear.
I bought this gorgeous wool coat
It was originally $89.50, reduced to $44.75 after 50% off.
I also had a Friends & Family Coupon for 30% off - bringing my total to $31.32.
Isn't that a great price for an adorable coat?!
Friday Funny
I was due for an appointment with the gynecologist later in the week. Early one morning , I received a call from the doctor's office to tell me that I had been rescheduled for that morning at 9:30 am. I had only just packed everyone off to work and school, and it was already around 8:45am. The trip to his office took about 35 minutes, so I didn't have any time to spare.
As most women do, I like to take a little extra effort over hygiene when making such visits, butthis time I wasn't going to be able to make the full effort. So, I rushed upstairs, threw off my pajamas, wet the washcloth that was sitting next to the sink, and gave myself a quick wash in that area to make sure I was at least presentable. I threw the washcloth in the clothes basket, donned some clothes, hopped in the car and raced to my appointment.
I was in the waiting room for only a few minutes when I was called in. Knowing the procedure, as I'm sure you do, I hopped up on the table, looked over at the other side of the room and pretended that I was in Parisor some other place a million miles away. I was a little surprised when the doctor said, 'My, we have made an extra effort this morning, haven't we? I didn't respond.
After the appointment, I heaved a sigh of relief and went home. The rest of the day was normal. Some shopping, cleaning, cooking. After school when my 6 year old daughter was playing, she called out from the bathroom, Mommy, where's my washcloth?' I told her to get another one from the cupboard. She replied, 'No, I need the one that was here by the sink, it had all my glitter and sparkles saved inside it.'
Never going back to that doctor. Ever.
