Frosting

April 16, 2011 | Uncategorized

 

Hiya! Saturday night already? BBOOO! I hope you had a good day though! After the crazy tornadic weather (is tornadic a word?) We had a BEAUTIFUL day today! Breezy, sunny, high of 73. Awesome. Bobby and I started the day with a nice easy, but hilly, 3 mile run in 30 minutes. It was just so nice out, very odd for April on the coast. It’s usually hotter than heck around here by now!

Post run Sweatiness.

After getting cleaned up and looking like a girl again, I made lunch, we had new friends from church coming over!

We ate lunch outside, because, well, it was too petty to stay inside! We played the Wii and hung out. They have the cutest little boy, I think he’s 1.5 years old. So stinkin cute. The pups aren’t used to little people so it was funny to watch them interact (or bark at) him.

After they left, we went to Lowes. We had a few things to pick up for the house and I had a $10 coupon to use. After Lowe’s, we went to Dinner somewhere new (to us) called Aristos. It’s a Greek place modeled after an old favorite of ours in Jackson where we just moved from.

 

It was really yummy and very reasonably priced. Just enough food, too. I was full after but not that ohmygoshIamgoingtothrowup full. Even though I WAS full, I was determined to eat a cupcake. You see, right next to the restaurant is a Gourmet Cupcake place called Frosting….oh. my. gosh.

Not only is it pink and green and fun with couches and funky chairs, but they have AMAZING cupcakes! They have 6 flavors that are there daily and then every day there are also 6 other different flavors. I am for sure going back on a Tuesday when they have WEDDING CAKE! Bobby got one called “prozac” that was basically death by chocolate.

It was good…but not as good as my COOKIES N CRÈME!

HUGE and AMAZING. Seriously one of the best desserts I have put in my mouth, and trust me, I have had a LOT of desserts! After inhaling said cupcakes, we came home and took the girls on a walk. I didn’t feel quite as bas about myself for eating all my dinner plus a whole huge cupcake after my walk!

Now I am quite full and falling into a food coma. Ok, I am off to enjoy the rest of my weekend, and you should do the same! Tomorrow is church and working in the yard, and relaxing. I love Sundays!

QOTD: What is your favorite cupcake flavor?

    Oh yum! I am obsessed with cupcakes. Those look good! My favorite at the best place is NJ is the cookie dough or peanut butter cup. My favorite at the places here is either lemon or peanut butter banana. mmmmm. And now I want a cupcake at 8:30 am.

    Oh wow, girl, we would so be friends in person! This post sounds like one I could’ve written! Doing something active with the husband, hanging out with friends from church, eating outside ’cause it’s too gorgeous to go inside, going to Lowes (waaay too much time here, haha!) and finally, trying new places to eat (especially with coupons)! Haha! Seriously, this is like a day in the life of Christopher and Rach. Love it! 🙂 Looks like you had fun!

Pigeon Forge Snow is the perfect family activity no matter the time of year: real snow, comfy temps, and endless winter fun even in the middle of summer. From tubing and snow forts to sweet treats at the candy bar, this is one spot my kid never wants to leave.

Plus, it’s just minutes from Dollywood, the Titanic Museum, and Dolly’s Stampede, so it fits right into any Smoky Mountain trip.

So many people I know follow and like posts and st So many people I know follow and like posts and stories from content creators, but when it’s people they know in real life….forget about it. All of the sudden, we just don’t need or deserve the support. We just get lurkers. 💔 

Women, I encourage you in 2026 to find a table where women champion other women. And I encourage all the ladies here to be a girl’s girl. There is room for everyone, and we ALL need a little support, even those that look like they have it all together. 

Let’s commit to helping each other on AND offline. A simple smile, an “I love your dress” or “your kid did great in the school play” or “hang in there, you got this!” Goes a long way. 

I will never understand people going out of their way to intentionally bypass a person online or in real life. People matter. It’s a tough time of year for a lot of people, so let’s all act like the friends we claim to be and be there for each other however we can. ❤️

This one is great for busy folks who want to make a “special” drink without too much fuss. 🎄 

It’s literally just water frozen in the bottom of a glass with some rosemary taped in it. I waited a few hours the poured in some Prosecco and added in edible glitter (you can use multiple colors!) pretty and delicious, and keeps your drink cold! Cheers! 🥂 ❄️

The end of the year is always a time that I reflec The end of the year is always a time that I reflect on how things went, what I want to do different or better in the new year, and to be honest…I’m always really hard on myself.😕

I often end up sad or frustrated that things didn’t “turn out as planned.” But planned according to who? Success according to what? 

As we were ice skating last weekend at Gaylord Opryland, laughing and just having so much fun as a family, I was hit with what I can only describe as a warm fuzzy. I wanted to smile and cry all at the same time. I thought to myself….this is it right here. 🥹

If nothing else good happens, I’ve got this and am so rich because of it. These moments. This is what I always prayed for as a girl when imagining my family one day. And it’s here, happening right now. I don’t want to wish it away waiting for the next big thing to happen. 

I just want to ice skate with them in a place that makes us so happy. Wha a year. ⛸️ ❤️
