Ten Things To Do Instead of Shopping: #6. Make little ones happy.

I finished off the last of the pumpkin puree from the classroom pumpkins with three more batches of the well-loved pumpkin chocolate chip cupcakes.  And the kiddos were excited to decorate their own at our Holiday Party.  Though extremely stressful at times, I love that my profession allows me to use my talents for the “most good.”  Most good = little people who need to know they are valued and believed in. 

Christmas is a huge deal for kids.  So today, it is a huge deal for me too.  

Quite possibly my favorite cupcake recipe.
The beloved vanilla buttercream piped before them.

The kids’ stylings

P.S.A.: Making others happy sure feels good. Just like they say in the movies.
