Hello friends, I’ve missed you! This weekend was a busy one. Liv’s school follows French curriculum so when they have holidays off, so does she. She’s on October break for a week. We went to Cake 🎂 Club this past Saturday. I missed the last one since we were in Europe so I missed everyone. I made pumpkin squares with cream cheese frosting. I was concerned about the recipe since I ran out of granulated sugar and substituted brown sugar but Antz thinks it made it taste even better. He loved them and devoured about 5 squares!

| Here’s the recipe I used |
 |
| Sara’s Mom made this beautiful cake |
 |
| My sweet friend Ellen made this amazing Dutch waffle cheesecake |
 |
| Honestly I always kick myself for not taking better/more photos at Cake Club but I’m usually stuffing my gob or chatting so much to remember. |
 Thanks for another fantastic cake club, Sara!
 |
| Liv and her Cake Club BFF ran around like Superheros all hopped up on sugar |
My friends and I decided it was a good idea to head over to the Hello Kitty exhibit at the Japanese American National Museum after lunch since we were so close.
 |
| We went to a kid-friendly Japanese diner in Little Tokyo |
 |
| The food was excellent |
The museum had timed entry so it wasn’t very crowded.
 |
| She’s adorable |
 |
| I owned about half of this stuff in the eighties |
 |
| I think it would be a rad idea to paint the walls in our garage like this one |
 |
| I still think my bike is the best Hello Kitty beach cruiser ever! |
 |
| I’ve been search ebay for this Mike Carroll for Sanrio skateboard for months, no luck |
 |
| I hope to book a flight on EVA airlines one day |
 |
| I loved Hello Kitty, My Melody and Little Twin Stars when I was growing up |

 |
| This piece was made out of tiny Hello Kitty heads all by hand using a ballpoint pen! |
 |
| Cuddly Rigor Mortis seems to be following me |
 |
| I was a little too excited so I didn’t keep a steady hand while snapping photos, whoops! |
 |
| This reminds me of Mark Ryden but it’s not *gorgeous frame* |
 |
| I own that tiny beaded purse on the right! |
