red velvet ding dong

{New favorite treat: fancy red velvet ding-dongs from Essential Chocolate Desserts}

This year is going by so quickly that I find myself floored at the beginning of each new month. And yet March couldn’t have come soon enough. I’m so excited for the time change – just that extra bit of daylight makes the biggest difference in how I spend my evenings (ie not always curled up on the couch). But tonight we’re making an exception to see live comedy with friends and the rest of the weekend will be spent outdoors, since warm weather should always be celebrated appropriately. Here are a few of the things currently making me happy.

    I have been looking for a thin golden belt for a long time too! Just recently I was excited because I found one for $4! Then I clicked the link to where you bought yours and you paid way more than $4 for yours….
