New Food Craze

Are Doughnuts the new Cupcake? Oh I hope so! If there were a plate full of doughnuts and a plate full of cupcakes - I would always go for the doughnuts. (Especially Krispy Kreme.) So if you've followed this blog for more than a couple months then you already know this little tid bit about me. I've said it before but this love for doughnuts started back at the age of around 4. Beginning with going on dates with my dad to Krispy Kreme (age 4), driving to Montgomery at 10PM (which is 35 minutes away from Auburn) in college just to get Krispy Kremes, then having Krispy Kremes passed out at the end of our wedding, Hubs surprising me with Krispy Kremes after going through Penn Station. The list goes on and on. So you can imagine my excitement when I heard that doughnuts are becoming the new cupcake. For the past month I have read article after article regarding where the best doughnuts are around the city and I intend to hit all the places! Here are some of the good reads on my beloved food item...

I obviously wrote this blog post out of the goodness of my heart in trying to inform you of the new craze that you should all jump on! (wink wink) By the way, where have you had your favorite doughnut? I might need to take a roadtrip...

Terrarium Tour

I promised for some terrarium love today and so I must deliver. We really did have fun making these little tiny house-friendly gardens. There were lots of materials, layers, and tiny figures. All played a major part in the making of our house gardens. Here are some examples of ours and then of course where you can get your own supplies, etc.

Sorry for the poor quality of pics - they were taken on the phone.

Can you find the elephant and tiny mushroom?

Now its time to build your own (or just buy your own)

Go here to build your own.... here or here

Go here if you want to buy one.... here and here and here

Have fun with your green thumbs!

MoMa and Mexican

Good Monday Morning to you! How was your weekend? Our weekend was a busy one! Friday we went to the MoMa and had a look around. It was the first visit for both Hubby and me. There were definitely some exhibits that I did not understand. The normal - "why is this considered art?" question popped into my head more than a few times. But then there were also some quite famous exhibits. After our walk around the museum we ventured back downtown to the Mexican restaurant I mentioned on Friday. We had a feast! And I'm still feeling it. Saturday, we volunteered in the park again and then ran home to get ready for our girl's terrarium party. The party was so girly and fun. We again had lots to eat and then learned how to make our very own terrarium! They turned out so cute. Tomorrow I'll upload the pics from that party. For now, check out MoMa!

We tried to get artsy and modern as well

Do you think we created art?

Now its time to work!

Weekend Fun

If I had given some preparation to this post like normal I would have tried to play some sort of April Fool's joke. However, I didn't and therefore failed with a joke. :(

However, let's talk about this weekend! Hubby brought home roses for me last night - just because (no joke!) It started the weekend off in a great unexpected way. We're also using a groupon for this neighborhood place tonight. So what are yall up to this first weekend of April?
