Sisters and Cupcakes

Another week already?? Yep!

It's hard to believe that's it's the 13th of April already!! Crazy! Speaking of today ... it's my wonderful big sister's birthday today, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KARMON!!! (she doesn't always read my blog but I'll make sure she reads this one;)
Growing up I always wanted to be JUST like her. I'm so thankful and blessed to have grown up with such a wonderful, helpful, sister who was my best friend. (And still is except I miss her and don't get to see her enough).

We're three years apart, always got along, and I have so many great memories with my sissy. In Junior High/High School we shared each other wardrobes (and really everything). When I went off to college it was awful having to figure out who got to keep what (unfortunately all the good stuff was technically hers, haha). But I snuck away with some of her stuff that she didn't need ; )So, thanks for being my sissy and I love you sister ... BURST!So how was everyone's Easter? Mine was good. We went over to my mother-in-laws and had yummy food! She always makes sweet potaotes in a crock pot and they always turn out so moist and sweet tasting. On Saturday I made Berry-Filled Vanilla Cupcakes
I got the recipe out of the most recent Clean Eating Magzine, and the recipe involves spelt flour, vanilla, berries, among a few other things. Now I'm gonna go change before my husband gets home so we can pump some iron ; ) Random Update: I'm beginning to like lifting more and more and I actually look forward to it lately whereas before, I just about dreaded it! Hooray!

Tune in next for my next post about a few of my thoughts on dining out!

Hope the beginning of your week is off to a wonderful start : )

  3. thats wonderful that you have such a great relationship with your sister AND that you are only 3 years apart - my sis is 7 yrs older than me, so we never really clicked - anyhow, the cupcakes look amazing, hard to believe that they are healthy!

  23. Happy Birthday to your sister! I love the pic of you 2 looking at each other - you're both so gorg! I have 2 sisters - they are my best friends, and I can't imagine life without them (and their shoes/clothes/accesories). ;-)

    I am so jealous you like lifting more! What do you think changed? I need to get inspired - I just always talk myself out of it.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Those cupcakes! Yum! Cute pictures of you and your sister. I have a sister too and we still always borrow (or steal) each others clothes. :)

    ReplyDelete
  25. That's awesome. I have three older brothers so I always like reading the sister experiences of others. :)

    Great news about lifting. I have to get back into it more. I used to love it more than any other form of exercise, but lately I've gotten into doing more at-home stuff with the ball and Pilates.

  26. The photos of you and your sis are so cute. I'm close to my sisters but they are much older so I saw them more as role models and less as friends growing up. It looks like you guys have both :)

    ReplyDelete
  27. Wow - fabulous cupcakes!!

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUR SIS :)

    ReplyDelete
  28. You are both beautiful! :-) My sis was like a second mom to me - she's 15 years older. I so need to check out Clean Eating mag. That's one I haven't ever read before. I need to go look for it! It sounds good! And I prefer to lift rather than do cardio. I think weights have changed my body more than anything. I would gladly abandon the treadmill for the weight room!
