Do you ever feel like you need a little more fun in your life?
Sometimes while
Then I start wondering about what they do, how do they manage to have so much fun all the time? where do they work? how do they get all that vacation time? can I get a job there? do they go to work every Monday morning exhausted? how do they save any money? Why does it seem like they're having so much more fun than me?
Do you ever wonder if people are looking at your life and asking those questions?
Now don't get me wrong.. I have fun. It's true..ask my friends..I'm generally a fun person.
Does this look like the face of someone NOT having fun?
Every now and again I get stuck in a rut though (that's normal right?)...stuck in the day to day routine of work and don't get enough play and just feel like I need a little more fun in my life.
When it comes to baking, nothing says fun like funfetti cake.. I mean, it's in the name for goodness sake.
Of course, now that I have a blog, I feel like I'll be judged for using a boxed cake so when I found this recipe on ReFresh for Homemade Funfetti Cupcakes I just had to try them out...sadly Kori stopped posting and her site no longer exists, but luckily I got this recipe before she took it down.
