Day at the Museum

Remember way back to this post?

I promised I would upload pictures from my day at the Museums in Montreal...I'm now delivering!

My dad surprised Mom and me by starting off the day with these yummy cupcakes!

(product review here)

The first museum was at the University in Montreal. They had a lot of animal skeletons and a couple of mummies.

Me and my mummy...

Another mummy...

sorry...I couldn't help it

I like my mummy more...

We couldn't really take any pictures in the other two museums because of bad lighting; but I did get a shot of Napoleon's hat!

I thought the hat was pretty cool, but the mummies really took the cake. 

Cupcakes that is...

Ok ok, I'll stop now...

Come Fly With Me

"Come fly with me let's fly, lets fly away..."

I wish I could.

Today Mike is flying back to university to finish up for the year. I was so lucky in being close by him while he student taught; but it had to come to and end eventually.

Next time I see him will be at graduation and I know it's only 5 weeks but those weeks are going to drag on and on. Anyway, we did get to have one last date...

On the way down to Vermont I crocheted this little flower and sipped on a Tim Horton's Iced Coffee.

Then I was able to meet up with Mike at an Asian restaurant and have a bite to eat.

I honestly think that my favorite thing about these places is the tea. Is that strange?

After dinner, we walked over to a little cupcake shop and had a little dessert. Of course that wasn't enough so we also stopped at the grocery store to pick up some Ben and Jerry's ice-cream. Interestingly enough, they were having tasting samples of Vermont goat cheese too. Being from the city, I've never had goat cheese and my first experience with it was...unique. 

I will leave it at that.

Eventually, it was time to say goodbye.

I'm really really really going to miss him but we'll keep in touch with skype and e-mails.

Some say it's get's easier to say goodbye after you have a ring on your finger but I think it just makes it harder.

Don't worry about me though, I've cried my tears and today will be filled with crocheting and shopping therapy.

Sweet Nicoletta: Product Review

Welcome to my second product review.

Tonight, I will be evaluating the makers of one of my favorite treats on the planet...cupcakes!

Is your mouth watering yet?

These cupcakes, made by Sweet Nicoletta, taste as good as they look. In the summer, the shop sells ice cream to beat the heat. But the long Canadian winter months bring out the cupcake bakers in this family owned shop.

The creativity in the flavors and designs gone into these cupcakes is absolutely wonderful. You can walk away with one of these yummy treats for about 3 dollars and the more you buy the more you can save.

One of the pluses about Sweet Nicoletta is that they not only to walk-out orders, but also party packages.

Sweet Nicoletta will do everything from themed birthday parties to elegant weddings.

Sweet Nicoletta is run by two friendly brothers. You're sure to meet either Micheal or Matthew when browsing the cupcake display; and since this is a family business, you know you can always get quality cupcakes made with care and passion. 

My family and I love stopping by the little shop about once a week and sometimes we receive an extra cupcake for free(just because the Matthew is that nice)!

Here's what we picked up tonight...

Cupcakes in a jar

Hey everyone, 

I'm still pretty swamped with finals and packing up this week but I wanted to make a post so badly.

I found this project on another blog and thought that I'd share it with you.

Here are the lovely cupcakes in their first stage of creation...I would eat them just like this to tell you the truth.

Nom nom, I want some!

If you would like to see how to makes these cute and scrumptious little treats click here. 

"I just made these for my co-workers and my boyfriend's family after you posted the photos from the shower. Thanks so much for the clever idea! Everyone loved them and I will be making them again... maybe with fun-fetti!"

"Love things in jars!"

"I made a batch today (sans jar) and they turned out great! So moist with great flavor! Thank you for sharing! :)"

"Your such a clever gal. I am going to try this, it turned out so beautifully. xxx."

Sigh, just one more day of finals, then white glove, spring concert, and I'm going home! 

Oooooh boy.
