It was a monumental day yesterday...

in our household.

No, still no Baby JJ.

Adie let me french braid her hair.


You see, I was a gymnast. I also was a gymnastics coach for 5 years. There is a pre-requisite that you are able to french braid if one is either of these two. So you can imagine my excitement when yesterday came.. the day that Adie sat still enough for me to braid her hair. I need to give credit to the Elmo Potty Time DVD... not sure she would have sat still without him. So yeah, my little girl is old enough for braids, sniff, sniff!

Saw the fabulous Brooke at Natalie's birthday party on Saturday whom told me about these adorable pops.

Thanks to her I am now feeling all Martha and want to make them for Adie's 2nd birthday.

By show of hands, who thinks I am crazy to take on this task? (Go read the instructions and see that it's a simple but kinda a lengthy process..)

By show of hands, who thinks I should make the cutie head mini cupcakes or Elmo heads?


I'm pretty sure Adie would vote Elmo. So I better do Elmo since it's her big day and all. =/ And I can make these soon and freeze em so that would be a bonus to have them finished before her day. Yeah. I think I will.


I'm crazy loco, I tell ya!!!

yay! :) Aren't they so stinkin adorable?! Can't wait to see your finished product...I'm sure they will be awesome, either way. And yes, you are a tad crazy for doing them right now, but maybe they'll take your mind off of the baby not being here yet ;)

And I totally agree...we need to hang out, I'm certain we would have a great time. :)

Darce,

There is a lady that I follow ... her blog is great and she does tons of pops like this ... she's done everything from hello kitty to easter stuff ... check her out ... she usually gives detailed instructions on how to do them ....

Plus I thought maybe you might be able to find Elmo heads on there! LOL

Here's the link to her blog: http://bakerella.blogspot.com/

Okay, so I've been stalking your blog for a while (I knew Darin from high school and found your blog through a friend of a friend) and think your ideas are so fun. Thank you for the link to Bakerella--definitely in my bookmarks now! I love those cupcake pops; no idea what I'll make them for but I'm dying to!
