Cupcakes and Ballots: A Day of Sweet Choices”

Today, the schools are closed because of the elections in our town and county. So, I decided to spend this day doing something special with my two little girls. We chose to make cupcakes, a simple yet wonderful way to stir up creativity and get our hands a little messy. It’s not just about making a tasty treat, it’s also about touching, feeling, and experiencing the joy that comes from creating something with love.

In our kitchen, laughter and the sweet smell of baking cupcakes filled the air. The girls had so much fun mixing the batter and adding colorful toppings. I could see their eyes sparkle with joy as they used their hands to decorate their little masterpieces. It was a perfect chance to show them that even on a day when big decisions are being made in our community, we can find happiness and learn valuable lessons at home. This day reminded us that sometimes the simplest activities can be the most rewarding, bringing warmth and unity in a busy world. Today, we voted for joy, love, and cupcakes, and it felt like the best choice.
