Thin Mint Mini-Cheesecakes

Bad day means, you guessed it, I baked and drank wine :)

cream cheese batter

mini's..aren't they the cutest!?

thin mint crust...yum!

So amongst full time school and my baking obsession and my unhealthy tv addiction and Alan and friends and trying to read the bible in a year, I have somehow joined a book club...so currently reading Committed by Elizabeth Gilbert and A Million Little Pieces by James Frey.

Yay, me! ;)

Holy cow it is already April! This semester is kicking my ass but I have been so inspired and motivated...with clearing out some friendships, working on myself, learning and learning some more, pursuing my baking love and a side career with it, applying for an internship (which I got!) and becoming a domestic goddess (never thought I would see the day but I love being home and gardening, sewing, baking, decorating...).

baking love

I am OBSESSED with all things cupcake..I don't even eat them, yet still find myself baking once a week and just giving them away, but you can't put a price on practice! So my goal is to start doing them as presents and then eventually start charging, then eventually start a side business and then hopefully one day a full on bakery! :)
I am even going to start making my own cupcake liners!
Awww, happiness!!!

Spring cleaning..

I have decided to do some major spring cleaning, and not just my dirty house but my life. My friend the other day reminded me about a book that talks about emotional bank accounts and people/things that drain it. I have several of those in my life and I justify fighting for them due to length and past closeness of the friendship but to be honest they haven't been beneficial or good for me for a few years. I really am drained..tired of caring, fighting for people that I only hear from when it's convenient for them. I need to toughen up, get a thicker skin...how do I do that? I'm letting other people affect me so much, even letting them take away the good things that I have going on..and this is a problem I have every year! Ugh!
