Happy Friday!
Hard to believe Ruger turned 2 years old on Saturday. I wanted to do something fun to celebrate, so I came up with a little puppy cupcake recipe with some peanut butter frosting on top. I added some bacon strips to decorate…he loved them!
I will share the recipe soon!!
The only reason he AGREED to wear this hat was so he could eat the cupcakes! His head is so big, we could barely squeeze it on too 🙂
We also celebrated my Dad’s birthday which was the week before. If you follow me on snapchat (if not you totally should @alexisroch), you saw my coffee cake experiment for his birthday cake. I really wanted to do something different, light, and unique, so I made a cake that turned out really good! It was great with coffee, not too sweet either which was nice! And I made it dairy-free so my husband could enjoy it too! I will be sharing some more recipes on snapchat this weekend, so feel free to check it out!
I shared some fun posts this week that I was really excited about!
If you missed my introduction to a new blog series: chemist solutions, you can catch up here. It will be starting next week with a fail proof, easy, and the most effective cleaner ever! I am so excited to be sharing some more great tips with this new series!
Many of you were asking on snapchat about my current reading list, so I shared my spring reading list this week too! I am already starting on some new books this week that I will also share soon.

Whoa, that’s a lot of candles on your dad’s cake! Were you going with an actual number, or just a lot for the cool fire effect? 🙂
Alexis says
I wanted to get 63 candles on there….but it was just too many lol! So, I did a mirror image of that and went with 36 🙂
