Carson's Cupcakes

During my my time away from Sass-a-rilla, I started a gourmet cupcake business called Carson's Cupcakes! If you are in the Salina area and need some cupcakes for a baby shower, bridal shower, birthday party, or just because, email me at ashley.finan2@gmail.com and I would be more than happy to work with you!

Fall Porch

After being M.I.A. for 6 months, I would like to announce that I am back! And just in time for Fall! We recently went to the local pumpkin patch, Sunnyside Pumpkin Patch, with some close friends and their 4 year old son! Of course, the moms were in Pinterest mode! After filling our cars with picture perfect pumpkins, we headed to Hobby Lobby! Here is what I ended up with:

It's still a work in progress! If you have any tips for me, leave a comment!

Random Fact Thursday

Happy Thursday, everyone! It's almost the weekend! I thought that I would share some random facts to get you through the work day!

The lion used in the original MGM movie logo, killed it's trainer and two assistants the day after the logo was filmed!

Under SOPA, you could get 5 years in prison for uploading a Michael Jackson song. That's 1 year longer than the doctor who killed him!

The first man to survive going over Niagara Falls later died by slipping on an orange peel!

You would have to walk for 7 straight hours to burn off a Super Sized Coke, french fries, and Big Mac!

It would take about 1,000 years to watch every video currently on YouTube!

British people are drunk in 76% of their Facebook photos!

99% of people backspace their whole password when they mess up just 1 letter!

"Vanilla" comes from the Latin word "Vagina"

Fake Patty's Day

Good Afternoon, All!
I just wanted to check in while the Little Monster is napping! What a gorgeous day! I don't know about you guys, but Carson and I are going to the driving range this afternoon! Mamma got a new club! *Whootie Whoooo* There is a 99.9% chance that we will end the afternoon with Shamrock Shakes! I live for those shakes! Speaking of St. Patty's Day... Today is Fake Patty's Day in Manhattan, KS! This is one of my favorite holidays! A 5k to start the morning, followed  by green beer, friends, crazy shenanigans, and good food! I couldn't make it this year due to my date being under age but I'm crossing my fingers that by next year we can get Carson a fake id! (I'm kidding, People! Don't get your "Irish I was Drunk" t-shirts in a bundle!)

I have been working on Carson's 1st birthday party a lot this week. I MIGHT have been planning this party for the last 355 days...but who's counting?! The theme is "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" and I am bursting with ideas! I will show you the details of the party at the end of the month. Every time I bring something else home or start a new project for the party, my husband just shakes his head a walks away. He should be used to by now, right?

Well, the Little Monster is ready for destruction, so check back tomorrow when I will post some pictures of our weekend! And don't forget, please spay and neuter your pets! Have a happy and safe FAKE Patty's Day!

Irish you a Happy Birthday!

A co-worker and close friend of mine, Andrew or as is most famously known AK, is in Belfast, Ireland working. AK and I started working at KWU 3 days apart! We had a couple undergrad classes together so I knew that us working together was going to be T-R-O-U-B-L-E!!! Not only is AK a close friend and co-worker, he is my Boo! Some of you may be thinking to yourselves "Your boo? Really?" Yes, Ak is my Boo. I cannot remember why we started calling each other this but it stuck. Anywho, today is Boo's birthday! So in spirit of the magical day that a Mexican stork dropped you on my doorstep, "Irish you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BOO!!!!"
