If you don’t know me by now, I love a good snack! And holiday treats are one of my favorite things to make! While there won’t be any baking for the class this year (Zoom Halloween party anyone?), we’re still going to get into cooking up some spooky halloween treats and probably enjoy a Halloween themed family Netflix and chill. Since cupcakes (and frosting) are a favorite around here, I thought I would share these fun and easy to make Halloween sprinkled cupcakes.

[10 MONTHS OLD] Time be still 😩😭😭 Briell [10 MONTHS OLD]

Time be still 😩😭😭
Brielle is growing so fast and I just want her to stay a baby a little longer. 

- This girl stands on her own and takes a few steps unassisted.
- Wants to eat and drink EVERYTHING.
- Thinks her brothers are hilarious.
- Says mama, dada, go, and “hey girl” 🤣 and I’m almost certain she tells her brothers to stop though the don’t listen.
- Loves taking pictures but doesn’t like when you try to sneak record her and she sees lol
- Likes to dance and clap her hands. And she recognizes songs. We Don’t Talk About Bruno and the Bluey theme song are her faves lol 

I can’t believe she turns one in two months. Time is a thief 😭😭 #itsbriellemadison #mamasgirl #girlmom #momtoaprincess #momof3
