For my birthday I invited Maria and Alicia along with her son to my apartment. We spend the first half of the birthday speaking Spanish, then Maria had to go, we switched to English. We ate SO MUCH JUNK, and it was great. We had doritos, chips, cupcakes, brownies, cookies, rice krispie treats...you name it, we had it. No real food was allowed. I made funfetti cupcakes and attempted to make a failed cake tip decorator out of a water bottle (see photos).
Unfortunately, I don't have many toys to entertain a 6-year-old. However, I do have tons of cardboard boxes. I think the inner child in me has a hard time throwing out cardboard boxes because I know how much fun I had making forts with my brother growing up. (Tangent: When I was little, my parents decided to renovate our kitchen. One of the best days of my life was when the cabinets and new fridge arrived. So. Many. Boxes. It was like heaven for me and Sean.) Anyways...Alicia's son spent the evening making not only a fort but also a very proud mom, as Alicia is an Architect by training. All in all a great evening celebrating 24 years on this Earth.

AuthorI'm Emma. I love food more than anyone will ever understand - specifically cheese, chocolate, bread and pretty much every fat & carb combo you can think of - apple cider donuts, ice cream, the list goes on. Fats and carbs just go so well together. Don't you think? Why is it when I'm tasked to describe myself, I always talk about food? I guess if you want to learn more about me, you'll have to read my posts about my year as a teacher in Spain. Archives
