Fiona wanted hearts on her cupcakes…


I might have gone overboard. But I think she’ll like them, and so will her classmates.

This is so easy to do, by the way. I piped melted dipping chocolate onto waxed paper, let it dry for about twenty minutes, then carefully peeled the hearts off and stuck them into the frosting.

I’ve even piped cursive words to place on cakes. As long as you’re very careful when peeling them from the paper, they’ll hold their shape. Plus, you can keep trying on the waxed paper until you get it right, instead of messing up your cake trying to draw with frosting.

So cute, so simple, so many different shape possibilities!

I have an audience tonight for my Power 90 workout. I think he’s trying to say, “Got Sweat?”

Umm…those aren’t pants

You can wear tights as though they’re pants, but that doesn’t make them pants.

I think @TheToughCookie would be proud!

I’ll put up a how-to post later, along with the video from Gail Dosik that inspired this cookie tree. But for now I have to jump in the shower to get to Christmas Eve service for choir!

Stepping out of my comfort zone

I’m in a cab on my way home from a fabulous event put on by my wonderful friend (and occasional employer) Barbara Jones of the One 2 One Network, and the awesome Catherine Connors of Babble. They hosted a really fabulous group of bloggers at Hotel Lola to introduce us to Sole Society and their gorgeous shoes.

Sole Society is like a personalized shoe subscription. You can sign up for free (you don’t even have to give any credit card info) and you take a very quick style quiz, choosing pictures of clothes and shoes that speak to you. Once you make your first purchase you become a member of the subscription club, and you get a selection of shoes to choose from each month. Each pair is only $49.95! And if you don’t want shoes in any month, no worries – you can always just skip that month.

I was allowed to pick a pair to bring home, and my first instinct was to grab a pair of flats, since they were adorable and exactly the kind of shoe I would buy.

But, this was an event! Free shoes! Why should I go practical? So, I chose the tallest, awesomest platform heels there.

I was surprised when I tried them on that I didn’t fall over. Despite having a five inch heel, the front of the shoe is about two inches high, so it doesn’t seem so bad. They’re absolutely the most stylish pair I own. I can’t wait to wear them out somewhere.

As long as there are no stairs.

Thanks so much, Barbara and Catherine. Great night out. And thanks to Sole Society for my new shoes!

UPDATE: I forgot to thank Barbara for taking that awesome picture of me and my shoes!
