A FIND!

Okay, so I have a confession to make.  I.am.spoiled.  You can blame it on my Hubby starting back in 1997 when we were boyfriend and girlfriend and he used to give me almost anything I wanted. :)  A lot has changed since we had kids, but for the most part, my Hubby still lets me be a baby.  His baby, anyway!

In less than a month, it will be my birthday and I'm already starting to get excited!  Every year, I'm seriously like a little girl anxiously awaiting my birthday, only around here, we don't celebrate just the one day of my actual birthday.  We celebrate if for pretty much an entire week!  It all started several years ago when I would get so excited about my birthday, only to get the birthday blues after my birthday came and went.  My family teases me about me and my birthday week obsession but I know I can't be the only one out there who loves birthdays.  Please tell me I'm not the only one!!!

Anyhow...I've been working on my birthday/Christmas wishlist over the last few weeks and I've been shocked to find that for the first time in all of my adult life, I'm actually asking for things I can use in the kitchen!  It's so funny to me how not long ago, I would have died if someone wanted to buy me something to cook or bake with!  This year, I'm asking for things like stainless steel bowls, cookie sheets and accessories to go onto my KitchenAide mixer.  Boy how times have changed!

On Saturday, while at Costco, I made the find of all finds and I just had to share it on here!  The second I saw it, I told my Hubby I had to have it!  I even told him he could save it and give it to me for my birthday but he said no and to just get it.  I thought I'd share what it was so that in case any of you might be interested in picking one up too, you can get down to your Costco and scoop one up!

I've never actually seen anything like this before but here's what it's called...

It's really the perfect item for girls like me who love to bake cupcakes or anything sweet for that matter and need to transport them from one place to the other.  I've been hoping to find something like for a while now and I was just SO excited when I spotted it!

Basically, it's three rows of stackable cupcake receptacles.  If you want to use it to take maybe a pie or some cookies, it also comes with trays that go over the cupcake holes so that you can use it for other things.  Isn't it awesome?!?


----------------------
Today ended up being a blast at my MOPS meeting!   We made apple pies to take home in time for Thansgiving and that was so much fun!  I was also on breakfast assignment and I decided to bring some homemade peach french toast and this yummy pumpkin bread as well....


Both items were from a recipe book that my blog friend Sue sent me ages ago when I first started the blog!  I've loved making several of the things in that recipe book and I think this is by far my favorite recipe for pumpkin bread.  I'll definitely have to share the recipe on here soon!

Well, let's see what else I can get to posting this week!  I have a house that needs cleaning before we have Thanksgiving here and a pile of laundry that's calling my name! :)

LOL! You crack me up :D I have seen those holders before and always thought those were great inventions! I need one too!!! That pumpkin bread looks and sounds yummy! I bet it smells good too! I love pumpkin smells around the holidays!

My husband is the same way. I feel guilty sometimes because he never buys anything for himself (well most of the time anyway).

That thing is so cool! I've always found that cupcakes are hard to transport because they all have to be flat - now they don't have to be!

Julie said...

Oh I'm glad Fern told you to go ahead & get it! The pumpkin bread looks SO good. I've been wanting to make some for weeks now. Maybe now I can! Yummy!

As for the excitement for your birthday...I was definitely like that until probably last year. I was so bad that my birthday would be at least an entire weekend event & I would insist on celebrating my half birthday too! Maybe I'm just too old now. :)
