Silicone Baking Cups

These are the coolest new things I just got! They are silicone baking cups! No more buying the paper ones to throw away once you eat the cupcake, muffin, etc. I love them! I got to use them for the first time yesterday when I make Banana-Blueberry Muffins.

A Christmas Bloom

This is a picture of my Christmas cactus that my friend gave to me for my 22nd birthday! Yes, its getting quite old! It has even survived a move half way across the country! It had a little rough spell when it first moved here but since then its gotten some new spoil, a new pot and a new spot closer to the window. I am SOooo happy that it bloomed this year. It hasn't every year so when it does it's super exciting!
