Are you my mother?


      Last year, two days before mothers day I was leaving a yoga class to find a beautiful potted plant on my car with a note from a friend who was also in the class. At first I was a little shocked, I wasn't her mother.  Then I read the note and it said something to the extent that she thought I was a great mother and how lucky my family was to have me. Even thinking about this simple event in my life I get a bit emotional. She truly changed the way I look at mothers day.  It is a day for mothers and to honor women.  So I have been thinking about how I can give back this mothers day and I think my form of appreciation is going to come in the form of a cupcake. 
  

  I found some boxes just the size for one cupcake and some beautiful ribbon. I am planning on taking two dozen to the salon so Shep and the other stylist can pass them out to there clients.  There is nothing that makes you feel special like getting your hair done and having a cupcake, right ; ) I think I will make one more dozen to pass out to friends. I will keep you posted on how it goes and my final decision of flavor.  Right now I am thinking of chocolate with a fresh strawberry buttercream, but I might change my mind......

Love it!! Where did you get the boxes? I probably don't have time (wait I know I don't have time--but maybe for next year!) but I would love to do this even for birthdays for my friends. I still read you all the time, even though I don't always comment, but love the shirts LIz, loved the ham soup--I made it after Easter, love your daughter's clothes!

Wow, we must live pretty close!

Ali- I don't go to Shep. I own him : ) just joking, but he is my husband.

Lisa- I got the boxes from Expedx. I chose the 4 inch size but they where a bit big so I need to go back and see if they have a 3 inch size.

Ali- You need to email me your moms name. Shep was wondering : ) tdottie14@yahoo.com. I always joke that no one knows my name they just know me as "Shep's wife", but It is really true. So you can call me SW for short.
