Wahoo! Today I’m celebrating. Well, actually I’m celebrating all month, because that’s how I roll. I highly recommend that when you have a birthday, you celebrate all month too. I can’t take credit for that brilliant idea. It’s a suggestion I got from a friend of mine a long time ago and it means the [...]
I just looked at the calendar. It’s the 17th, can you believe it? How did we get to the 17th with only ONE blog post for the month?! Maybe it’s time to create a blogging schedule. I’d say I don’t like schedules, but my mom might call me a liar. After all, I’ve always had [...]
My name’s Leila Shea Christensen and I. Love. My. Life. I’m a 20-something lawyer chasing big dreams (but not ambulances!) out in Kansas City, Missouri (KCMO for short).

I watched the BYU-TCU football game this past weekend. For a BYU fan, that was a pretty brutal game. I don’t even want to think about it. The one part I did like came in the form of festive cupcakes – I made white cupcakes filled with white chocolate mousse, topped with vanilla frosting. DELICIOUS. [...]
There is something about a cupcake that makes it impossible to hate. And most of the time, impossible to resist. Maybe it’s the fact that it’s your own personal little cake. Maybe it’s the pillows of frosting that all good cupcakes come with. I have been to a few cupcake bakeries in my time – [...]
