Last week was FULL week, filled with many great highlights.  However, the thing that I enjoyed the most was making cupcakes with my three year old son on Saturday for his Sunday school class.  I’m not much of a baker…I substitute boxed cake mix and canned frosting rather than making them from scratch…but that is alright.  The great thing is that my son could care less…he just likes to mix the ingredients and decorate the cupcakes.  I just like spending special time with him.  We had so much fun making and decorating the jelly bean cupcakes…you can find the recipe at http://www.nickjr.com/food/seasonal_treats/jelly_bean_cupcakes.jhtml

[On a sidenote, if you don’t like to bake at all, you might like the “I Don't Do Cupcakes!”

Since Mom in the City neither charges membership fees nor adds surcharges to our events, we are very grateful to our sponsors.  They are the ones who subsidize the costs of maintaining our website and our monthly newsletters.  They also provide wonderful giveaways and goody bag items for our events. So here is a great big THANKS for all of your support!

Three sponsors (in addition to the others that have already been mentioned in our newsletter/on our blog) that donated items for our GymTime event (which was great….Mom in the City members have such cute, well-behaved kids!) were the following:

1. Earth’s Best (http://www.earthsbest.com/):  They provided bags of yummy organic cookies for each of the kids along with coupons for future purchases.

2. pediped (http://www.pediped.com/Home/Home.aspx):  They donated a pair of boys and girls shoes for our great giveaways.  [These shoes aren't just adorable but they are also good for young kids' feet.  They are soft, flexible and easy to put on (but not so easy to kick off).  I have a pair for my youngest son, Sean, and I think that they are great!]

3. Half-Pint (http://www.halfpintstore.com/):  They provided discount cards for each of our members in attendance.
