2018 in Cupcakes

You read the title correctly: 2018 in Cupcakes!

Looking through my Instagram timelines and sliding through my phones pictures I noticed we made a bunch of cupcakes throughout the year. So what better way to go over 2018 then to go through all the pictures of cupcakes I found? Let's begin!

During Malak's 3rd Birthday party we all decorated cupcakes as one of the activities! The kids just piled on the toppings while the rest of us tried to make something cute hahah! Malak's birthday is on January 26th but we had her birthday part on the Sunday which was the 28th! We had so much fun at Malak's Paw Patrol themed party and I know Malak had a blast <3


More gorgeous cupcakes from Malak's birthday party with my nephew Karam staring intensely at them, all he wanted to do was grab one!
I know they aren't cupcakes but I had to document the gorgeous Canada Day donuts that I picked up after July 1st!

I made this a my nephew Karam's 1st birthday party! It was a Sesame Street themed party and we had a blast! Sis did a good job of organizing and hosting! Karam's birthday was on September 26 but his party was on the 30th! Love you Karam <3


I wasn't the only one who made a fabulous cupcake at Karam's birthday party, Malak made an even better one!

Malak and I whipped up a batch of Halloween cupcakes to help support LUSO Community Services' Fall Fest and Haunted House in the evening. All the proceeds went towards United Way so while Malak and I had time to bond we knew we were supporting a great cause in the process. The Fall Fest took place on October 27th so we dropped them off on the 26th!

Well Malak wanted to decorate her own monster cupcake too so she put together this adorable creature. She couldn't wait for me to take the picture hence the cute piece bitten out <3



On November 17th my sisters came over after I spent the morning at a breakfast with my best friend, we hadn't seen each other in months! We are committing to doing better with our get togethers and since we've done pretty well but we need to definitely keep it up in the New Year! Anyways after our breakfast at Cora's we headed over to the Family Centre where my friend works and Malak got to play in the playroom which is awesome! After that we bolted home and had my sisters come over where we baked and each decorated a cupcake.





On Christmas Eve my friend came over and we watched a bunch of Christmas/Holiday movies on Netflix and the day wouldn't have been complete without pigging out on pizza and wings andddd decorating cupcakes! 


Now that is my year in cupcakes! I noticed most of the cupcakes were in the last few months and there was a big break in the year where I basically baked nothing.. I have enjoyed decorating cupcakes lately as my daughter and I have determined to limit her screen time on the iPad, but I believe that's another post coming!

I wish you all a fabulous New Year and need to run off now and compile my New Years Resolutions! Blog you later!

Toys for Toddlers

Toys can be a crucial part of a toddlers development of the brain and the senses. My daughter recently turned a year old and loves to play and explore everything around her. Books can be a great way to stimulate the mind, my daughter often brings books from her playroom and gives them to me to read to her. Pointing to the words as you read will help them follow along I've caught my girl pretending to read a few times and pointing as she babbles. Monkey see, monkey do 🙈. I love when she picks up on things that I do and it helps you see that your little one is on the right track.                                          Boxes that helps babies identify and experiment with different shapes and colours helps children as well. It builds problem solving skills, allows them to explore, and concentrate on the task at hand. The red toy with the shapes has an outline of the blocks in the...

Limiting Screen Time

This post is dedicated to kids (and parents) with technology addictions. I have been struggling lately with a toddler who seems to be addicted to the iPad. She wants it in the morning, afternoon, and night; even sometimes falling asleep with it in her hand. Why are we struggling with limiting screen time? Disclosure: I do not own this image Parents need to stop using technology as a way to distract their kids. It always seems to be the easiest solution to get kids to be quiet. Parents need some quiet time to do some work, give the kid an iPad to distract them. Parent too tired to play with kids, hand them the iPad. Parent wants some alone time, give the kid an iPad. It's unfortunate but its true but sometimes we do not have the energy to be "on" all the time and it seems to be the quickest fix to the problem. Kids tend to copy what they see like they say "monkey see monkey do". When kids see their parent always glued to their phone, laptops, etc. Is it...

BRIDAL SHOWER!

My sister Ayah is getting married soon and as a surprise to her I planned her bridal shower and invited her friends. It took place May 1st, two weeks before the wedding. The colour theme for the shower is pinks, white, and gray. Originally I was going to make it a Beauty and the Beast theme for her favourite Disney princess but it seems harder than a colour theme and I was on a budget. My sister Iman can over yesterday and did some baking, it took longer than expected to bake eclairs and cookies but they turned out beautiful. Here are Iman's not so famous eclairs, they always turn out delicious! They didn't rise as much as we had hoped but they are still very tasty.                                            Just some beautifully decorated sugar cookies! It was messy but th...
