oh, hello dear

i hope everyone is having a wonderful Monday.  the weather in Texas {at least in my part of Texas} is beautiful and i want to take full advantage of it. which means i’ve been day dreaming out the window all afternoon instead of working on research.

i found a candle that smells like my mom’s perfume. at first this made me really sad, but now it makes me really happy, which is nice.

in order to change things up this Easter, my dad and sister are coming to San Marcos for a few days.  i’m really looking forward to it.  the thought of spending Easter back at my parent’s house was making me dread the holiday {and honestly, i don’t know how i feel about the holiday right now, it was my mom’s favorite}.  we’re going to make the most of it and have a little backyard party, complete with burgers and cupcakes.

if anyone has a good homemade cupcake recipe, i’d love it if you would send it to me!  i’m going for the whole “i didn’t make this from a box” theme this weekend. carly.smith27@gmail.com
