Hey, Cupcakes! I hope y'all had a great week. Before we get to my book haul I'm going to be super annoying and share some pics of my 6 week old niece, Aeicha Elizabeth because they're super cute and I'm such a proud auntie and she's even wearing a cupcake outfit in one! So enjoy the extreme adorableness...
