take a bite out of summer

Do you remember hearing the magical music from the (ever so distant) ice cream truck when you were a kid? Do you remember how it instantly triggered excitment and anticipation? "What should I get today?? An ice cream cone, sandwich, push pop or popsicle? Oh, the possibilities!" I remember devouring those Mickey Mouse-shaped ice cream bars with the gum ball eyes and those nostalgic red, white & blue popsicles (aka Astro pops). Oh, how those classic ice cream truck treats continue to float around in my head. So, I made “popsicle-shaped” cake pops! They won’t melt like ice cream & I promise you they’re just as delicious! Happy 4th of July & happy summer!!

Au revoir! Catch me on Instagram

I initially started this blog in 2010 to chronicle  my baking adventures. In 2013 I became a mother and this space shifted to sharing my DIYs and inspiration for creative living. Since then, I've been fortunate to work with multiple companies producing creative editorial content. As I look back at this blog, I'm reminded of how your passions can actually unfold into a career. And if you're really patient and willing to put in the all the work, dream jobs do come true. So it is here where I say au revoir to my beloved blog, aka my creative journal. You can still find me on @craftedbyjen .  xoxo, Jen
