The end of the 30 day challenge...

This is the end of the 30 day challenge. Did I work every day on my house? No. Are we ready to put our house on the market? No. But I am looking at this as a success...why? I'll tell you why... Because.

Because I am blogging more {and that makes me happy!}

Because I love my bathroom every time I go in it {seriously every.single.time.}

Because I got a new sink today {with a garbage disposal!!!}

Because my entire house has new matching electrical outlets! {thanks dad!}

Because the nasty old stanky carpet is gone! {nuf said}

Because I love my new spare bedroom {thank you Ryan for letting me get a floral duvet at IKEA this time}

Because this has given us the kick in the butt we needed to get this cozy little house that we love on the market and on to the next owners who will love it as much as we do {fingers crossed}

And here is a picture preview of our master bedroom {with more before and afters coming soon} just... BECAUSE!!! : )

Snow and snacks...

Brrrrr!!!!! I don't know about you but we are in the middle of quite the winter storm. Ice, rain, sleet, snow-thunder! What? Yes! We have chances for a thunderstorm in February. But I am not complaining because I got to leave a whole hour early from work today! {my doctor NEVER lets us go home early so this was special!} I also don't have to go in tomorrow morning!!! Possibly {fingers crossed} not at all.

So what is a snowbound girl to do on a blustery winter's night? Make Valentine Cupcakes! {obviously!} Cake mix, tub of frosting, and clearance aisle Christmas sprinkles = super cute red, pink, and white cupcakes!

My cake mix was white because that is the only kind that Ryan likes {how can one just like white cake I do not know} To make my cuppy cakes a little cuter I added red dye to the wet cake mix. This turned the batter a loverly shade of pink.

Just add sprinkles {99 cents!} and cute liners {IKEA} and you have a truly scrumptious winter snack. Eating these makes me want to craft a Valentine Box {you remember making those in school? For all the Valentines you got from your friends? I use to adore making mine every year}

Are you stuck inside with this winter weather? What do you do to pass the time?
