Homemade Almond Joys

49 things I’ve learned from my ___ years of existence, in no particular order:

1 Floss. 2 Wear comfortable shoes. 3 Go to the bathroom before you leave. 4 Spend less than you make. 5 Dance. 6  Just because it’s free, doesn’t mean you need it. 7 Master a recipe for something obscenely delicious. 8 Call your grandma. 9 Look both ways before you cross the street. 10 Don’t speed. 11 You will get caught eventually. 12 Give compliments more often. 13 Chocolate is good. 14 Diet pills don’t work. 15 Paying taxes sucks. 16 Coffee with cream is good. 17 Black coffee is gross. 18 learn from your mistakes. 29 Smile. 20 Naps are good. 21 Smell the flowers. 22 It’s the little things. 23 Don’t take things too personal. 24 Go to the doctor. 25 Buy insurance. 26 Write a thank you note. 27 Care. 28 Less is more. 29 Everyone knows more about something than you. 30 Nobody has it all figured out. 31 Go with your gut. 32 Don’t overthink it. 33 Swearing was cool when it was forbidden. 34 Swearing can make you sound dumb. 35 Try something new. 36 Things are not as you remembered as a kid. 37 Life is a solo trip with visitors, some long-term, some not. 38 Foil doesn’t do so well in the microwave. 39 It’s much easier to fall in love than to stay in love. 40 Family is important. 41 Do what makes you happy. 42 Timing can make all the difference. 43 My dryer eats socks. 44 Anyone who judges you by the car you’re driving or the shoes you’re wearing isn’t worth impressing anyways. 45 Zicam (zinc) really does shorten a cold. 46 The store brand jelly is good enough, the store brand ketchup is not. 47 Music is powerful. 48 I was young when I learned thirty eight, no worries. 49 Smiles and yawns are contagious.

None of these really have much to do with what I’m about to share - well, except #13.

Don’t you hate when you have to go back and figure out what 13 was?

#13 with coconut is even better.

Cup.Cake.Bites.

It’s totally okay to eat cake for breakfast, right?

As long as you go on the stair climber afterwards?

There’s Always Room for Cake and Ice Cream – Ice Cream Cake Pops!

These are my favorite cake bites (balls, pops…) for a couple reasons:

1 Just look at them! A-dorable!

2 I LOVE Ice Cream

I could eat a BOWL every night  before bed, & actually… I used to.

Seriously, every night. Ask my mom.

Had to knock that off though, you know how it is.

how cool are these though – cake! posing as ice cream! Bakerella is a genius, I think she’s the one who originally dreamed up these. Then I just took it a step further and added a cake ice cream bowl!

The day where rivers, beer, faces, hair, and food all have something in common.
