this is the moment, extremely late at night, when i sit and wonder when this year came to an end and where december went. the past month has completely flown by and 2015 is basically hours away. i’ve been taking a little break from blogging while i’ve been home on break, but i will be getting back into the swing of things soon. so until then, this is december in a nutshell.

so i haven’t done one of these posts in forever, but it is honestly up there with one of my favorite things to write about. every single time i sit down to write one of these, i always reminisce like crazy, and basically wonder how time literally flies by. one minute i’m sitting on my bed with my little man, brady (aka the greatest pups ever) and the next i’m sitting here in my school library, missing that same little man. it’s moments like these that make me miss my home and family, but as my mom keeps reminding me parent’s weekend here at georgetown is getting closer and closer. so until next time, here is a little update on my daily ongoings here in dc. (plus a few summer throwbacks)

cherry-blossoms-2MTrecently i have been missing georgetown quite a bit. i love my school and the area, and there are those moments where i wish i could be walking past the surrounding townhouses on my way down to m street. for the weekend of the fourth i headed on down to dc and i could have stayed longer, but it definitely was what i needed. before i get completely sidetracked i decided to make some cupcakes and happened to be inspired by my little trip.

1. if you ever have the chance to visit dc, make sure to visit the georgetown area. just walk around and i promise you’ll love it.

2. one of the best times to visit dc is during the cherry blossom season.

3. everyone talks about georgetown cupcake and sprinkles, but baked + wired is where it’s at.

childhood dreams are something that i treasure… i still remember mine and today, a few of them have come true, for which i’m so incredibly lucky. others, time will tell, but the biggest dream i have is to own a cupcake shop! i have a name, store decor, flavors, color schemes, menus, etc. a little overboard, but let’s call it productive!

make new friends, but keep the old

You guys will come to learn that I absolutely love baking and cooking. Culinary school used to be a dream, but it was replaced by my dreams of Georgetown, a decision I’m happy with! My mom has been my best teacher when it comes to cooking, but baking is a different ballpark for her and my comfort zone. I will bake any time, but whenever I have a test that doesn’t go well or a bad day, baking in my dorm’s common room is where you’ll find me. These cupcakes were from this recipe and are HEAVEN! http://melssweetlife.wordpress.com/2012/01/22/peanut-butter-oreo-cupcakes/

 Mel suggests using it to make friends, and that we did. We had a storewide meeting for J.Crew tonight, and me and another friend, Barbara, made these to help break the ice. Instead of just regular cupcakes, we made the majority mini so they could be a quick snack. We left out the Reese’s on the inside, but the frosting was AMAZING and I was so happy with the way that it turned out. (Literally wanted to package it and just eat it with a spoon. Bad, I know.)

P.S. Those last photos are a few from some J.Crew styling sessions. We may or may not have gotten a little carried away… 🙂 (I’m in the middle!)
