Pizza Cupcakes



Did somebody say pizza cupcakes?? 

Yea I did! 


I’m into my third and final week of this practicum. My placement was actually switched during the first week, so I ended up being in a grade 5 class instead of a grade 2 class. Everything is lovely, and I am truly enjoying this placement! 

While on practicum, I don’t have a lot of time for… umm… anything. So I spent a few days prior to the start of this practicum filling my freezer with pre-made meals that I just need to pop in the toaster oven. I can handle that much meal prep… most days. 

These pizza cupcakes were one of the meals I made during that cooking marathon. I like them for lunches while I’m at the school. This recipe was modified from the recipe I found here.

DIY Dresser Re-Do Part 2: Drawers



Last week I posted about my shiny new dresser! It ended up being a beautiful reno, and well worth the amount of time I put into it. 


A large portion of this work revolved around the drawers. This was more than simply removing the hardware, slapping some paint on there, and affixing new hardware. It was a process indeed.

DIY Dresser Re-Do

Today I start my second practicum!! It's at the same school as my first practicum, but with a grade 2 class instead of a grade 6 class. I'm really excited! I love the primary grades!

So, this is what I did over my exam week: 


I had an exam on Monday and Tuesday, so that left Wednesday to Sunday open for Crafting Extravaganza! It was a great five days. The dresser was my big, ongoing project, but I had a lot of other mini-projects and cooking projects on the go throughout the five days as well. Check it out: 

I made a small ceramic chalk board, 
I made some stained glass snowflakes, 
And I stenciled an area rug for my bedroom (not pictured above). 

And in the kitchen: 


I cooked up some chicken parmesan meatloaf, 
I cooked up some pizza cupcakes, 
And I baked some BBQ sauce meatloaf. 

I’ll be blogging about those things soon, and linking as I do.
