April Showers

As I mentioned in my last post I've been on a baking and cooking spree this week.  These peanut butter chocolate cupcakes were a hit for a sort of belated birthday celebration today for Bea's cousin. The recipe can be found here. They turned out amazing. I almost forgot to take a picture so some of the chocolate chips are missing.  I used half the sugar it said for the frosting because I really can't handle how much they put in most recipes.
I found a new location for rainy days on the porch.
I should really start a post called $1 shirts because this one was less than $1 and is amazing. I really need to dye my jeans blacker again. Has anyone done that without dying their whole bathtub black? Accessories are thrifted of course!
Beatrix got a very large sleepsuit secondhand from her cousin. She was very intent on watching Dora the Explorer for the photo though.
Yesterday I took some photos of an outfit but I didn't actually end up wearing it. I think it needed a different top. I haven't been feeling super inspired outfit-wise.  It was so bright outside I look like a ghost! Everything is thrifted. I was pretty excited that my hair is finally long enough to french braid though.
 I am going to stop making sweets for awhile. I want to make more savory breads and such.  These are the heart shaped apple gallettes we made earlier this week.

  8. All of that food looks so good. I love your shoes in the second outfit too and the skirt. I'm always tempted to hem my long skirts, but I love how it looks here.

    Thanks for responding to my question. I've made appointments with two programs to meet with representatives and find out more information. I'm trying to ask questions and explore lots of different options right now.
