Editors' Note: Bring on Spring!

Ahhh, March! We adore you! You are bringing us one step closer to warmer weather we all have been craving! Last month wasn't our favorite and we are happy to say goodbye to February. Why? Well, for those of you who follow me on Twitter you know that I battled a bad case of double pneumonia causing me to go on bed rest due to complications with my current pregnancy - 24 weeks now! It was not fun and pushed us way back. We finally were able to share the Under the Sea Birthday featuring Anders Ruff Custom Designs! As for the First Birthday Feature for my sweet Kennadi, well her party was canceled twice and we finally were able to get everything together. You will see it next week! She also has been under the weather and struggled with RSV and asthma the last few weeks. Never a dull moment but many thanks to all those we worked with for being so wonderful and understanding! 

I am extremely thankful for my wonderful cupcakeMAG team! You may have noticed - it is growing! This month we welcomed some FABulous ladies to the team! Lauren, Emily, Kim and Tiffany are the newest cupcakes to join the team and they are simply amazing! I couldn't ask for a better group of cupcakes! Make sure you get to know all about them here and follow them on Twitter. They are simply the best! And of course, my assistant, Liz, has gained a new title - she is now Director of Chaos! Last month was quite a whirlwind and I couldn't have done it without her - big thanks to Liz! 

Last night I received a tweet from a follower @LittleEllaBug, she said "Now that Life's settled down or does it ever?". We came to an agreement. It never does! But we are happy to be back in full cupcakeMAG spirit and are ready to take on March!
