Baking Goodness- Chocolate Toffee Cupcakes

So, what do you do when you have graduation party treats to bring? You go chocolate or you go home. Well, really, you go chocolate and lemon in my case. I made Toffee Crunch Cupcakes and Lemon Bars, both were gone before the end of the evening. Hooray for not having yummy leftover treats tempting me at home. I will share my lemon bar recipe soon but for today, more cupcakes are front and center.

I love toffee. No, let me help you understand...toffee is my VERY favorite candy. So, when you marry toffee and light fluffy moist chocolate cupcakes, and a chocolate ganache, well heaven is the only word to describe this goodness. You will just have to trust me and make it for your next gathering. People will love your cupcakes, and people will love you for making them. Wink Wink.

So, head over to my cooking blog and check out the recipe. The only warning I am giving you is to plan ahead. It isn't a whip together recipe, it is a easy but takes some time recipe.

Officially in the Limelight!

I had an interesting experience this evening. Without divulging more than I should, let's just say that I was told that people in my area are concerned that I have not kept my information about the stake changes private until the appropriate time. They were concerned that because I dated my blog post for the date of my writing some people thought that I had said something before the stake split announcement. Let me assure you that this isn't the case. I date my posts for the day that I write them but I didn't post them until Nov. 9th, the afternoon of the day of Stake conference. With that being said, this experience brought to my attention how much being a bishop's wife really is somewhat like being on show for everyone. Sometimes you are scrutinized and it is good, and sometimes it isn't so good. I felt truly inspired to write and keep this blog so that people can get an idea of what a normal bishop's family is like. This however can be difficult because I ...

Pushed to the Limits Sometimes

I have been pretty overwhelmed lately. Actually it seems to be a recurring theme in my life that I am not very pleased about. I tend to wonder why it is that I get into situations where I feel overwhelmed. I question my ability to put my life in the right perspective. So, next week in particular is going to be beastly! My larger roles will include....teacher, preschool teacher, employee (24 hours next week), mother, maid, and cook. The problem is that I don't feel like I am excelling at any of them. For instance Zach. He needs me to be a great teacher, to give him my best and most undivided attention. Instead I am giving my all to stay awake and the rest goes to him and Jillian.

Battling Anxiety and Depression With Christ on my Side

I have been pondering this topic for over a week and still don't think I can express fully the depth of my thoughts. I write of which I intimately know and battle every day, that of depression and anxiety. These life debilitating illnesses sometimes rule my life, and sometimes I rule them. I go through times in my life where I feel happy and content, and other times where the weight of my flaws brings me so low. Yesterday was the final straw of an emotional drain that I have felt as of late. Any of the events in and of themselves shouldn't have been enough to put me into a tailspin and yet today it was more than I could handle. Let me preface my day's events by saying that there are things I won't write about due to the privacy that my husband and children deserve, so most of what I write about concerns only me. With that being said, we have been battling some big issues in our family and that has already made me feel quite frankly like I am failing...
