Last year, for Christmas, my two year old received a tickle me Elmo from her papa. Since then she has been slightly obsessed with Elmo. So when it came time to decide what to make for her birthday it was a no brainer. Plus, I just love how she says Elmo in her sweet little voice `el-o` 🙂

These cupcakes are super easy to make (although I do have to warn you they are fairly time consuming)

Want to see how I did it?
Alrighty.

Sweet angel,
Do you know how much you are loved?
And what a crazy joy you are?
Do you have any idea how you have changed this family?
Changed me?

Do you know how much Jesus loves you?
Can you feel His presence?

Do you realize your potential?
Can you even imagine how He will use you?

Do you like brownies?
And chocolate chip cookies?
Mmmmmm.
Me too.

Well my friend, today you’ve come to the right place.
These yummy Congo Bars are the perfect marriage of the two.
They taste like chocolate chip cookies but are soft and chewy just like brownies.

We spent the whole day yesterday garage sailing. It was our community parade of garage sales, which means you’re pretty much guaranteed a sale on every corner.

I love garage sales. I love finding treasures and paying very little for things that I would normally walk away from in the store because of the cost.
It excites me.
I am a deal hunter at heart.
It is just pure entertainment.
I especially like finding old things and loving them back to life…
