Okay, so it isn’t Friday. As a matter of fact… It is Sunday. 

And, in this past Friday’s post I wrote, 

“Come back later today for a new {Friday Finds}”

and then I didn’t write it. 

So, today’s {Friday Finds} is all about organization.

Looking for a good way to organize each and everyone of the projects you have on your plate? 

Right now I have a rotating set of notebooks that I use and I could sure use something else to organize my projects more clearly. I love this free printable and plan to fill a binder with it very shortly!

I found two different and awesome ways to organize the blog. I’m currently trying to decide which will work best for me and my blog or if I need to design some of my own. Check these out:

 Free Blog Editorial Calendar Printables

I’m not sure if I’ve posted about this little site before… but, I’m sort of a blog stalker of 

Love it.

Well, every Friday, Lauren posts a list of blanks for people to fill in on their own blogs and link up to her site. I love it. I love clicking through to see what other people have answered as well. But, because I have always tried to have a {Friday Finds} post on Fridays I have never linked up my own Fill in the Blank Friday. But, this week I thought… why not do both? So, there you have it. Check back later today for the {Friday Finds} of this week and please enjoy my version of Fill in the Blank Friday… 

(Oh, and check out Lauren’s original as well!)

1.   My favorite color is purple. I would say grey because that is the majority of my closet and a color I always gravitate to…but, that is Lauren’s favorite and I didn’t want to copy on the very first question! I do however really love the color purple. You might have noticed in the blog’s design! 😉

2.  My travel destination of choice is  anywhere I haven’t yet been. I love going to new places. I wish I could travel more… most of my travel consists of going back home to see family (which I of course love doing) but, sometimes I wish I could go see family in new and awesome destinations. Hey, family out there… what do you say?

3.  My favorite  food is bread. Any kind of bread really… I like them all. It is a dangerous love, my love of bread.

4.  My happy place is cuddled up against my husband’s chest. Sounds super sappy… but, for a non-hugger like me it is quite amazing that this is the one place I can always go to feel happy and calm. Although, my new nursery is also becoming quite the happy place… sometimes I just walk in and stand for a moment. 

5.  My favorite saying is… this one stumps me a bit. But, here are a couple of my favorites that I’ve been seeing on Pinterest and that I just had to “pin.” 

 — “Done is better than Perfect” — “You’re my Favorite Reason to Lose Sleep” —”My life has a superb cast but I can’t figure out the plot” — “I have so much to do that I am going to bed!”

6.  My dirty little secret is that while I am a BIG control freak and GREAT at organizing my room is a DISASTER area. We just shut the door… Oh, and while I am at it I’ll add on another “dirty” little secret: We often throw parties and invite people over just to motivate us to clean our house. I’m hoping that this is not a habit I bring into motherhood!

7.  Something friends might say about me is that I  am a planner (sometimes to a fault). I am also kind (sometimes to a fault). I’m also quite hard on myself. And, I have an annoying southern accent at times. Of course… my friends are kinder to me than I am to myself. 😉 

During this pregnancy I really have craved one thing more than anything else:

Peanut Butter! 

Before getting pregnant I could have gone through one jar of peanut butter about every 3-4 months. Nowadays we buy a new jar weekly.

So, when making a batch of cupcakes I thought it would be fun to make a cupcake that reminded me of a really good PB&J sandwich. And, let me say… these were the best cupcakes I’ve ever made. 

Basic White Cake Batter– your favorite recipe (or box mix*) will work great

Cream Cheese (2 boxes) Room Temp

Smooth Peanut Butter (4 Tablespoons) Room Temp

Butter (1 stick) Room Temp

Powdered Sugar (2 Cups-make sure it is fresh!)

A little bit of milk or cream

Jelly in your favorite flavor… I went with Strawberry

Strawberries for garnish

* If you use a basic cake mix try making it a little more special by adding in some extra vanilla extract

Cupcake Tin 

Cupcake Liners

Piping Liners & Tips

Small Cylindrical Object or possibly a spoon I used a Piping Tip

Big Bowl & Hand Mixer 

(or… if you are lucky enough to have one a stand mixer works great)

1. Bake Basic White Cupcakes according to your favorite recipe.

Let cool while you make your delicious peanut butter frosting!  

2. Make frosting by mixing together cream cheese, peanut butter, butter and powdered sugar. Add in milk or cream if needed to get desired consistency. This takes a LOT of mixing so be patient… it’ll be worth it. Then spoon into a piping bag fit with the tip of your choice. I used a larger star-shaped tip.

3. Take your cupcake and cylindrical object of choice and get ready to make some holes in your cupcakes. We are going to be filling these holes.

Use cylindrical object to put a hole in the cupcake’s center. And, by hole I don’t mean go out the other side… just need a big empty space in the middle of the cupcake.

I was going to use the insides of the cupcakes to make cake balls… 

but, instead I ate them. They were very tasty.

4. Fill holes with the jelly you have chosen. 

5. Pipe on peanut butter frosting and top with a strawberry for garnish!

(Or raspberry if you went with a raspberry jam…etc.)
