sprinkles & pilates

We are all about copying celebrities in this family, so when I saw that Scottsdale had just opened a Sprinkles cupcake shoppe I started my dessert planning. I had Dallas all hyped up. Reese too. "Tuptakes, tuptakes." We all head in, anticipating the yumminess....and there was no where to sit and enjoy our fatness. We weren't too happy. Nonetheless, we headed home and safely guarded our ridiculously overpriced purchase. We all sat at the table and dove in. They looked so yummy...

We give them a C rating. I should have known better than to trust the judgement of Katie Holmes ever since her whole Tom Cruise decision. (she loves Sprinkles..or at least US weekly says she does). They are supposed to be so good. Eh. Dallas ate his because he just likes chocolate, Reese got a little sassy at the sprinkles stressing her out and I just kept comparing them to any other regularly priced cupcake I've ever had. It was a joy. We can turn any family fun treat into a fiasco.

It was a good thing we were headed to visit Natalie and Megan the next day. Reese was really wanting to work off her half worth it cupcakes. I was so excited to see them!

I fell in love with these girls from the moment I met them in 2006. Natalie and I even lived in the same neighborhood and we'd walk our kids (back when I only had Rookie) and talk and talk! They are so sweet and I LOVED working out with them. They own Boston Street Pilates in downtown Chandler, AZ. It's an awesome pilates studios and they kick butt. I really need them to kick mine these days! Megan is due with her first baby in July. We all three have (or about to have) fabulous July kiddos! I really miss you girls! You've meant so much to me!

Reese was like a mad woman in the studio. She stacked up all this stuff, everything she could find then wanted Natalie to help her balance. We really need to work on our core strength. It was a blast! Thanks girls!
We are having so much fun. I think I'll be blogging this trip well into July.

  1. I LOVE cupcakes!!! We have a cupcake bakery down the street, and they are SO good. S'mores, expresso bean, butterscotch...I think about them every day. Sorry those didn't meet the expectation. There's nothing like a chocolate let-down.

    My favorite part was, though, that you will be blogging this trip well into July! I love that y'all can be together for that long. Makes me smile - I know you've missed it!

  2. It was so good to see you, too! If my little guy turns out half as cute and fun as Reece, we will be blessed. It has been such a pleasure watching her grow on the blog. I can't believe she is almost 2!!! Time passes too quickly.

  4. I'm disappointed (but not surprised) that Sprinkles gets a C.

    It makes me smile so big to see Reese all over the pilates studio! I hope she was good and worn out for you afterwards.

  5. The Sprinkles Letdown...we had it too!!! A couple girls from the team and I were SO excited to go when we visited LA last year...we waited in line, we bought several, just so we could taste them all-YUCK!!! I even gave them a second chance and got two dozen for the kiddos at Beckett's first birthday party...no one ate them and Beckett ended up being allergic to them!!! GREAT!!! No more Sprinkles for this family...and what do the stars know...they only pretend to eat them for the cameras to make them appear more human!!! ;-)
