Easter is just a few days away and I couldn’t not share one of my favorite things to bake on Easter Sunday.

Things have been insane over here these past few weeks and things are about to get even crazier. First off, I am running a half marathon on Saturday, April 2nd and I am so not ready. All of my unexpected traveling that came up kind of messed up my training so I am just going to do my best. I like to run non-stop but will definitely have to run/walk this 13.1 mile half marathon.

I also have two trips to NYC coming up very soon and will tell you guys about everything later!

And my kitchen is finished!!! Hooray!

My kitchen was completely brown, maple wood (or cherry wood?)  before. You can see what my kitchen looked like before here. We decided to keep the brown cabinets because 1) changing these to white is freaking expensive and 2) I still wanted to keep some cohesiveness throughout the kitchen with my living room and the rest of the house.

I think it still works and the main thing was my island and needing more workspace. .  and I got it! Hooray!

I shot a video showing my new kitchen and will be sharing that soon but for now . . here’s this video. I hope you enjoy!

And make these cupcakes!!! Happy Easter everyone!
