Phew! It's been a busy week. I can never complain about having too many sessions because that is a gift and I am more than thankful!

What I can say is that I can quickly lose sight of some balance in my life when work gets hectic, so I am really attempting to keep my quality side of life nourished. I have the best family and friends and I love spending time with them.....but I am not always so good at it. My introvert personality can kick in and sometimes I just want to sit on the couch and not think about anything! Binging on a This is Us marathon is sometimes my speed and I use those kinds of moments to recharge when I am at my max. However, family and friend time is the best. So, I have kicked it up a notch and found time to do the little things....like baking! I've got a dear friend who can't have dairy so when I saw these boxed ORGANIC cupcakes that could be made dairy free....it was a go in the kitchen.

I mean, even the packaging is cute. And can we talk about the name? JONES!? It was a done deal, people.

These are seriously good. You'd think that doing the dairy free subsitutions like using coconut oil and coconut milk might be too much of a compromise but it was still that phenomenal vanilla goodness!

And the frosting....dairy free for the win again!

So, what really matters....the little baker's verdict.

I think a picture says more than words.
