Summer Break
I know, I know… I should have written this ages ago. Now that I’ve actually had to wear tights and a jacket to work I guess it’s really truly over. You know one of the best things about having your own blog is being able to stretch the summer season for another two weeks. (Yay!) Call it denial or you can call it luck. Luck because we had the luxury of having more guest posts for our summer series than weeks of summer. How awesome is that?
We want to take this moment to thank our wonderful, fabulous, talented guest bloggers who took the time to write a little something for our blog. (Fun fact: we had 19 writers joining Funfetti & Red Velvet this summer.) We are so proud that our entries were just as diverse as those who wrote them.
Here’s a little rundown of all the excitement:
-
Two of our guests (Snackcake & Fight the Future) traveled to Paris & London this summer plus Red Velvet went too!
-
The Eatinist Bitch concocted a key lime cheesecake in the comforts of her own home, while LatteLove learned a little bit about food during her time in Italy.
-
Giggles saw Greece. (Are you jealous of all this amazing traveling yet?)
-
Mila planned a staycation, and Funfetti daydreamed about the places she’d like to visit.
-
Jessica went to the Outer Banks, Waves of Grain took a road trip, and Pecan Praline locked herself up in school (sort of).
-
Cinnamon talks about being a teacher on summer vaca. (An awesome profession with built in days off!)
-
MKWonderland discusses the mysteries of her underwear drawer.
-
Butterbeer remembers a past summer, while Chocolate Chip talked about big and little moves.
-
Funfetti lists her favorite summer reads while Red Velvet is on the prowl for a series as memorable as the Hunger Games (she also read her first audio book).
-
Katie shares a great list of her summer beauty must-haves!
-
Random Ramblings memorializes the end of Harry Potter era.
-
Speaking of Harry Potter, Red Velvet and Funfetti review the last movie ever (tear) plus Red Velvet sees The Help.
-
Red Velvet stands up for herself; S’more gets used to hanging out with a bigger crowd.
-
The Eatinist Bitch recalls being a little girl in the kitchen while Pumpkin Spice takes a trip down memory lane herself. (Prepare yourself for some beautiful writing.)
-
Anni shares the hard-hitting fashion lessons she learned from the Baby-Sitter’s Club. (Who didn’t want to look like Claudia?)
We really cannot expect how appreciative we are to all those who contributed to our summer series! Thank you thank you thank you thank you! Thanks also to those of you who have tuned in to read every week!
While this isn’t goodbye, we cupcakes are going to take a little bit of a coffee break around these parts. Things are still pretty busy in real life, and we are looking to revamp COC entirely. We hope you will join us when we officially reopen in a few weeks!
We also want to wish a belated congratulations to our guest cupcake Lemon Drop who just welcomed a baby girl into her family. Congrats to all of you!
To keep up with us as we are creating a fun new COC, please be sure to LIKE us on Facebook & follow our Twitter account!
Talk to you soon!
