L'Oven

Today Loren and I took my mother to have a root canal done in Southaven, MS. (FYI I have never had this procedure done and it takes FOREVER!)

While waiting on my mom we decided to venture over to the little shops across the street. We were on Getwell Road, about 5 seconds past Snowden Grove Park.

We stopped at a cute little monogram store, then went into a store called Janie Rose. Interesting, very hip, cute clothes, not my style, but I had time to kill. Found a cute top...then looked at the price and I believe my jaw hit the floor. $100 for a summer top!!!!??? Seriously now, I am a bargain shopper, but have been known to splurge now and again. I just don't understand, even if I had the money, I'm so tight with it I don't think I could bring myself to buy something that expensive!!! Not a top! I get bored with clothes so quickly I can't even imagine!

Anyways, the dental assistant had recommended we try this little cupcake shop called L'Oven Cupcakes.

The lady running the place was so very sweet, and patient with all my questions about the cupcakes and their flavors.

Loren finally decided on a strawberry cupcake with white chocolate cream cheese icing. I tried a bite of hers and let me tell you, DELICIOUS!

I got the tropical cupcake. It was pineapple cupcake with fresh strawberries in the center, strawberry icing (the real stuff, not imitation) and shredded coconut on top. YUM!!!

They were only $1.75 each. When I told the dental assistant that I really liked it and what a great price they were she seemed shocked and said she thought they were kind of expensive. Haha, I told her she hadn't been to Gigi's cupcakes! I believe they are $3 a pop?! After hearing that she said maybe they aren't expensive after all.

If you're ever out that way, L'Oven cupcakes is definitely worth a try!

Poppy picked up Miranda from the school bus and took her to run errands with him after school. He took her to Kroger and she was so excited that he let her check them out. From beginning to end she pushed all the buttons and scanned everything herself. I forgot how cool the grocery seems when you're a kid. I remember playing in the grocery store at The Children's Museum. Ah, memories!

We had a wonderful night and the girls are so excited that all three of us and Homma will be home tomorrow! Poppy's a little jealous, haha! Hope we get at least some sunshine tomorrow. I'm just excited and hopeful that Easter Sunday will be a beautiful day. It's been years since it hasn't been cold on Easter! I gotta go buy their Easter baskets tomorrow.

Two days left! :)
