Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes with Salted Caramel Buttercream Frosting

First, let me just say, these are the best cupcakes I've ever eaten in my whole life. Second, I don't normally pat myself on the back, but they are SERIOUSLY THE BEST CUPCAKES I'VE EVER HAD IN MY WHOLE LIFE. 




Suicide

My life has been affected by suicide. My loved ones have attempted, I lost my very dear cousin and friend two years ago, two high school friends this year, and at a younger age I had suicidal thoughts.
I have started reading a book and just wanted to share. As a person that has not attempted and hasn't thought of it in over a decade, I didn't think this would help ME, I was reading it for someone else. But in the first three chapters, I feel a life change happening. I will be buying more copies of this book and am willing to share it with anyone that wants to read it. I am understanding more of my cousin's decision, I am learning how better to talk to people about it and I am finally understanding my own thoughts from years ago.

Sunrise Sausage Bake

Hello, I am Kakie, Rachael and Melissa's mommy.  I have always enjoyed cooking and recently have found a new interest in experimenting with recipes.  I'm even canning!  I made this recipe for my hubby and the guys at his work, it went over so well that they even offered to pay me to make it!  Rachael asked us to babysit her Nugget, the boy wonder, last night and I offered to make it for breakfast today.  She liked it enough that she asked me to post it here.  The recipe falls under my family legacy on recipes......looks difficult, but in fact?  Easy, easy, easy!  Enjoy! Oh, FYI, this freezes and reheats extremely well.

Stop Asking if I'm Pregnant

No, I'm not pregnant. I'm chunky.
No, I'm not pregnant. Sometimes, I get sick to my stomach. 
No, it's not "time" for a family addition. I don't know when it will be, but it's not up to me.
