Perfect for sleepovers at grandma’s house.

Well, there she goes again. Mom pulled out that purple bag with the handle and wheels. She’s filling it up with clothes as we speak. This basically means one thing…

I’m headed to grandma’s house for a few days until mom gets back from wherever she’s going.

Now, don’t get me wrong. Grandma is cool. She let’s me lay in her lap, sneaks me a few extra treats, and her house even has these giant steps that I can run up for fun. But Mom, well, she’s life. She just gets me. I miss her each and every time she goes away.

This time, however, Mom baked me some tasty gingerbread pupcakes.

Gingerbread was actually my great-grandpop’s favorite. Since today would’ve been his birthday, Mom thought these would be the perfect treat to hold me over until she gets back.

Well, off to Grandma’s house I go. While I’m there, I’d love to read your comments on the recipe.

Did you love these gingerbread pupcakes? Do you think you’ll take them to your grandma’s next time you go?
