This year has blessed our family with a beautiful little girl in February and my son couldn't be happier to be a BIG brother!

I cannot BELIEVE that it has been almost 6 months since my last blog post - I am sooooo VERY sorry and miss you all!
The reasoning for my lack of blogging isn't because I am no longer baking cupcakes, it is because I have been busy baking the most delicious lil'cupcake in my belly!
Baby S was born on February 7th, 2012 and we couldn't be happier!

His party plan came together when I came across a site for these adorable knit mini-monsters! T's aunt knitted these little critters for T to give out to all of his family as part of his party favor. The other part of the party favor, I thought, was a great idea! It was a photo album with a photo of the birthday boy, from each of the Cupcakes On The Sidehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12626723183381454509noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978527450627991986.post-67674769364115429712011-05-28T11:26:00.000-04:002011-05-28T11:26:51.354-04:00BLESSINGS ON YOUR CONFIRMATION JIt still amazes me how crazy social media is!

So a BIG Thank You to all of those who have supported Cupcakes On The Side and let your family and friends know about me!

So bittersweet when your baby turns ONE! I love being a part of first birthdays because its such an event! Its a day where parents look at their little one and smile with such joy, but also weep for how fast the time has past. It is a celebration of what a wonderful little person you have raised.

As I am still trying to find my 'happy balance' between work, baking, and most importantly my Mommy duties; there are some of my past baking projects hidden in the 'pictures to post' album. As I scan through these pictures, it seems as though I have taken a bit of a break from cupcakes.

I know that it has been quite some time since my last blog post. I have been soaking up the little time that I have left on maternity leave to spend with my son before returning to work in January. I have been baking, just not finding the time to post as much as before.

Fall is, by far, my favorite season! Fall brings us a gorgeous backdrop for pictures, we often go for weekend drives and find little places we never knew existed. We are fortunate enough to live in an area rich in festivals and farmers markets so there is always something to do!
