my little bird Bridge & I admiring the cake we made for our good friend Naomi’s birthday, thanks for the picture Julia

Check out my recipe for homemade lemon funfetti cupcakes (baked in ice cream cones!) over here on the Free People blog.

Twenty two, what.a.year. There hasn’t been a crazier one to date. Three moves: Florida to New York to Philadelphia. Three jobs, three new homes. A handful of goodbyes to closest friends and a series of hello’s to some amazing new ones. An unimaginable number of goodbyes and tears with Alex but a million more laughs and incredible moments. Some number of state lines crossed in travel, a million barriers, obstacles and excuse me, shit storms, to tackle- and a million times better for it.

Twenty three. May this year make me a wiser/stronger woman, a more patient daughter, a better friend (who stays in touch), a more loving  girlfriend, a harder worker and a healthier woman in & out. I have high expectations for you 23, letsdothis.

Looking forward to Florida in February and early b-day festivities is pulling me through days like today. Cannot wait to wrap my arms around my best friend and visit my brothers while they make magic in the studio.
