Mini Puddin' Cups with Graham Cracker Crust

One of my best girlfriends came over for dinner the other night and I wanted to make a dessert that was diabetic friendly, but not diabetic friendly obvious. Does that make sense? I mean, I didn't want to pull out a bag of sugar free candy and say "have at it." I was at the store picking up the pollo asado Jared was going to BBQ for dinner and wandering around looking for dessert inspiration. I thought pudding would be fun because it's sugar free and who doesn't love pudding?! Next to the pudding are the pie crusts and I discovered these miniature graham cracker pie crusts! I have never seen them before! They're like 3 inches in diameter and freaking adorable. On my way out I grabbed some strawberries (for a killer deal at $.99) and dessert was a go. I probably don't even need to tell you how I made them because it's pretty obvious but I will anyways:

Have I Told You Lately?

Have I told you lately...

that I made Jared go with me to this great nursery in Mission Hills to pick out some new babies? Their succulent selection is divine but we left empty handed because I seriously could not decide on just one.

that my brother-in-law barbequed up some ah-mazing pollo asado from the Mexican market? I sprinkled mine with cheese and avocado and it was heaven in my mouth and low carb!

that this girl has been seriously cray as of late? She has to sleep not just in our bed but on our heads and completely freaks out if you try to move her. Plus, she likes to sit on top of our headboard like a complete weirdo and just stare down on us during the night. Where's her boyfriend? She probably scared him away, that's where. Can't say I blame him. 

Rustic Baby Shower for Jack

In honor of my baby love Jack's 6-month-birthday today, I wanted to share some pictures of his baby shower last year. My mom and I went for a rustic theme, naturally. Everything in my life, whether it be design or decor, tends to incorporate the elements of an old barn. I can't help it! It's what I love.

For my sister's shower I had mason jars filled with fresh flowers EVERYWHERE. If you are ever at a loss of how to spruce up an empty space, flowers are your best friend. I used reclaimed wood pieces and vintage blocks and shoes to make the centerpieces which gave the party a very natural, earthy vibe.

Take a look at what else we did:
