Whoever thought Kim was the new Kate was seriously disturbed.

      There are few issues I will fight people on, I live by the philosophy" To each his own." One of America's best qualities is that we are blended nation, you can wear whatever you want(although you might end up on what not wear), say whatever you want(even if it fills my newsfeed on facebook), and believe whatever you want(whether your place of worship is Target or a church  we will except you! ).

With all our differences there are some similarities that are cohesive throughout America.  We believe in the american dream; that no matter where you are from you can be successful,  That friday nights aren't complete with out pizza and pop (or beer if you are of age.), that summer is filled with bbqs & fireworks, and we know every move of american royals- the Kardashian Family. WAIT WHAT? I don't think I have ever been so appalled in my entire life. Kate Middleton is a classy, educated, duchess and Kim is famous for her horrible eating habits and big behind.  Just because Kim is on TV doesn't make her wedding the new Royal Wedding! I am sure that people who have been calling the Kardashian wedding the royal wedding are the same people who think Snookie from Jersey Shore is intelligent. Sometimes America, I wonder about you.

Here is an article that depicts my same feelings on this touchy subject.

Kate > Kim 

 Thank you for listening, I hope you feel a bit more educated on Celebrity/Royal Trivia.

Quick Update and Heaven in a Bundt!!

Happy Tuesday, everyone!

I am extremely sorry that we are such slackers. We have been busy enjoying the end of summer. Lots of fun has been had and blog entries will hopefully follow with all of the craft projects we've done and trips we have traveled. Already time has flown by and the start of school is only weeks away with Fall officially starting in only a month!! The chilly winds of Ann Arbor have put me in a baking mood. I dug out The Joy of Vegan Baking cookbook by Colleen Patrick-Goudreau and life has been sweet ever since! I first baked delicious oatmeal raisin cookies and today I crafted up some mini bundt cakes with the carrot cake recipe in the book. My mother has named these little treats "Heaven in a Bundt." Below is the recipe. I didn't have walnuts, so I added extra raisins. Enjoy! --Hannah

3T ground flaxseed
1/2c water
2/3c canola oil
1 1/2c finely grated peeled carrots
1c chopped walnuts
1c raisins

1c granulated sugar
1 1/2t baking soda
1t baking powder
1t ground cinnamon
1/2t ground cloves
1/2t ground nutmeg
1/2t ground allspice
1/2t salt

Directions

4- Add oil and blend completely
5- Add carrots, raisins and walnuts and stir
6- In a seperate bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, allspice, and salt
7- Add wet ingredients to dry and combine
8- Scrape batter into pan and spread evenly
9- Bake until a toothpick comes out clean, about 30 mins (I only baked the bundts for about 18)
10- Let pan cool for 15 mins
11- Loosen cake from edges and invert cake out of pan

YAY! Mad Men Collection coming soon at Bananna Republic!

First off, let me say that I am 2 seasons deep in the amazing show that is Mad Men. I am loving the clothes so much and feeling so drawn to the 60s style. Thrifting is always an option, but sometimes the quality is sub-par. I went in search of some at the mall, but nothing was truly 60s through and through. But the fashion gods were working! I got home from the mall to find an advertisement for a Mad Men inspired collection coming to Banana Republic! I screeched with joy and have been flipping through the pages over and over trying to figure out what I don't want to get... I may just buy it all. Take a look at the collection through this blog entry I found through Google. Try to act like you don't love it---a impossible!

Da Wolfpac

Before I begin this post, i must tell you an important fact about me. I HATE WEARING HATS. However with that said. Like life there are exceptions to every rule. I love fascinators (which is more of headband, but some would argue that it is a hat.) and I really adore these funky yet fantastic fuzzy hats. Wolf hats were created by my designer friend Elise. Each hat is handcrafted from recycled faux and/or real fur coats. Elise can custom make a specific hat to your paticular fancy, or you purchase one she has already creatively constructed!

 some close family friends and I (Elise on far left) sporting the Wolf Hats, We like to refer to ourselves as "dawolfpac"
