So, Sunday was my bestie's engagement party, so of course I volunteered to bring dessert! Being that Oreo cupcakes are the Conway's favorite thing I have made so far, it was  no brainer what to bake!

So, have I mentioned I love baking? Ever since I've been a stay at home momma I've been kind of a baking addict.

Welcome to my blog! I have been wanting to start a blog for what seems like forever, and I finally got to it and started it! So, for starters i'll tell everyone a little about myself. My name is Kayla and I am 22 years young. I am a lover of God and a hippie at heart. I love to laugh and to make people laugh. I love to bake and be girly. I have the best friends and family a girl can ask for. I am not perfect, I make mistakes, but I live a beautiful life and am thankful for every breath God gives me. I am a wife to an amazing man named Bryce. He completes me. He is the most hard-working, selfless, and loving person I know and I am honored that God chose me to be his. He makes me laugh, he's my best friend and I wouldn't want to live side by side anyone else. We were married on July 17, 2010. It was one of the best days of my life. I say one of the best days because its tied with another amazing day. On September 10, 2011, I became Landon's momma
