Whew I am back! I'm not really positive how on earth I successfully surprised my mom. Geez, I'm only 15, and I don't think I ever want to see another cookie, brownie, or pie ever again. BUT...if you would like to undertake the task of throwing a budget friendly dessert party, you are at the right place :)
I love cupcake toppers. It's a little weird how cute I think they are. So... why not top everything with color coordinated cupcake...

Miss American Pie.
I love blueberry pie, but today I didn't exactly have all the time in the world. Not a problem.
I went to my local grocery store (which happens to be H.E.B) and they had Athens Phyllo Shells to make miniature desserts out of. They're about $2 per 15 shells, and make pie making a breeze.
Literally all you have to do is whip up a pie filling, fill these shells, and bake them for around 6 to 8 minutes. It took me around 15 minutes...
Oatmeal Cookies with Coffee Icing!
My two favorite things in life are oatmeal and cookies. You could say I can get a little obsessive about each. How about oatmeal, a cookie, and coffee combined? Heaven. One of many desserts I made for my mom's party includes these oatmeal cookies with coffee icing.
For the avid reader, you might recognize these from The Peach Keeper, which is a book by Sarah Addison Allen. If you haven't read it yet, I highly recommend...
Prepping for a Dessert Party.
Happy Thursday everyone! It is officially T-minus 1 day until my Mom's surprise birthday party. We've decided to make it a homemade dessert party by making all of her favorite desserts into bite size treats.
This is a morning's work. (Don't worry too much, the brownies were still in the oven, and the oatmeal cookies are on the counter!) Ready for some recipes while I procrastinate take a quick break before making cream...

Christmas in July: The Attic Adventures
Welcome to paradise. Or my type of paradise. It's not my fault that I'm obsessed with Christmas, and my grandma happens to have closets and attics overflowing with decorations.
This is a bathroom closet in the upstairs. Who says Christmas can't be in the bathroom?
So many decorations! I seriously thought I was going to die right then and there. That was until I took my Canon into the attic. I'm still getting shivers from that.
You...
North Carolina Charm and Great Attics.
Hello! Should I reintroduce myself? Sorry for the reeaaallllyyyyy extended vacation. Emphasis on the extended please. I was enjoying the lovely state of North Carolina, and have come back with some adorable decorating ideas courtesy my lovely Grandmother.
We drove up to my Grandma's beautiful home in early June!
Her little floral touches by the garage were oh so charming!
Look at this pineapple sign! This is something...

Keep Calm and...Fill a Blank Wall Without Paint!
Today I was feeling quite exasperated with out laundry room. We have tried painting it more than once, but the paint always peels. Apparently we would have to sand the walls and then paint so many coats of various paints on the walls just to make one coat stick. I give up. You hear me? I give up! Or do I...
Here's the wall. Think what you will. Yeah, I know...it's gross. It's not even white anymore, it's that horrific...
Keep Calm and...Throw a Budget Friendly Wedding Shower!
The wedding shower. The party that everyone remembers. So why did I decide to give one when I had a choice? Well... About a month ago, I decided that I should give a wedding shower for my church's youth director. It was the least I could do for a guy who has done countless things for my church. I mean Pinterest makes party planning seem really easy right? Wrong. I found myself a little over my head. Who wants to spend $100 on...
