Vintage toys, because I'm really still just a kid

I was at a friends house the other day and they had a cute little vintage robot and I first of all wanted it and second of all it made me think of being a kid again and all the cool toys I used to have...So I decided to do a little post on some of the toys from "back in the day". Take a sip of some tea and sit back and enjoy a step back to being a kid again.

How To Fry a Candy Bar

Ok, I'll be honest, I still think this is pretty nasty, but I think I need to try it. What do you think? I mean there's already so much fat in there, but people seem to go crazy for these things, so there's got to be something good about them. I think it would be a fun thing to try for a double date!

Can you say love?

I've had these beauties on my wish list for a while and guess who has the best man in the world and got them yesterday for Valentine's Day? I thought they deserved a post all to their own. I might become vain enough one of these days and take a picture of them on and post it...we'll see.
Thanks baby, you're the best!!

The Hour I Ate My Cupcake

Ok so you know those posts that are going around about taking a picture an hour for ten hours? Well I thought I would document the hour it took me to eat the amazing cupcakes I made the other day for V-day. I know, I should have waited, they would for Love Day after all, but I did make a lot of them, and well, they just looked too good for me to wait...

My Valentine's Day

Oh, yes, Valentine's Day! We invited my mom over last night and made a fun little meal. The plan was to watch a cute lovely dovey movie after dinner but we got detracted with buying cheap glasses online (more on that in another post)

So you know me, always for a good time here's our evening described through photos

Nothing like a good amount of heart shaped candy to remind you what we're celebrating.

Turned out pretty good right? (2 cups flour, 6 Tbsp Olive Oil and water as needed. Best thin crust recipe I have found yet)

Almond mandarin orange salad with a raspberry vinaigrette.

It was a very good night.
