Counting my Blessings: Making the best of the worst.

Well, sadly my entire family is sick. I was so miserable today, but having a 2 year old means you have NO time to rest. I recently learned in my moms group at church that we need to be great full for the things we have. So, today my out look on life was " at least I have a child to take care of.. sick or not!" We really made the best of our day. We snuggled on the couch and watched " Ice Age" We also took a nap, cleaned the house, did some laundry, and baked some rainbow cupcakes! I truly have pinterest to thank for all my new creative ideas. I love spending time with the boys and maybe after all these cooking lessons they will some day make very good husbands! ( just not for a long time)

They are so simple to make I am just hoping to find a way to make the colors more vibrant. I feel like mine were kind of dull.

1. Whip together a boxed cake mix ( I used cherry chip)
2. Separate the cake batter evenly in bowls. ( I used 5 different colors)
3. Add food coloring or Gel.
4. Drop a tablespoon of each color in the middle of the cupcake so they are layering each other.
5. Bake accordingly to direction on back of box.

I also thought this would be fun to use at various events, baby showers, super bowl parties, birthdays, etc... :)

Please excuse the mess on my pans. I never said when we are baking that it stays clean!!!
