If you didn't already get it, I just referenced a good old Eminem song! Why? Cause I'm in a crappy mood from a weekend away (that really should gone smashingly well, besides the HUGE amount of pain I was in) and feel like blaring some angry Eminem song right about now!
But.........I think I will take heed and follow the lovely advice "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all!"
So, today is going to be a picture post, except for the cupcake recipe that I wanna share with you afterwards!
Notice a smidgen of icing on Bella's lip? Ya...she was helping Mommy!

Almost like a Glamour Shot eh?
Bella's first encounter with the turtles from Turtle Island!
d
I get that dogs sniff other dog's butts to say "Hey...how you doin'?"
But is it also customary for turtles?
Bella chillin' by the lake! That's how she rolls!
Alrighty then. I made some really amazing cupcakes Friday, before we headed out to the cottage.
I've made this recipe before but none of the family has gotten a chance to taste how great they really were. It was all just a myth till this weekend. Well there were no left overs...just sayin'!
