Happy Monday friends! How was your weekend? Happy Mother’s Day to all you wonderful mothers out there. I had an awesome weekend. We didn’t do much, but that is exactly what I wanted. I woke up on Sunday around 10:00am. It was awesome! My 2 wonderful kids didn’t bother me while I slept in for once. It was the best Mother’s Day gift ever!

The rest of the day was uneventful, but that’s exactly what I wanted. My mom ended up coming over for dinner around 5ish. It was nice having her over! Mother’s day is always hard on her. We lost our grandma about 4 1/2 years ago, but these big holidays always remind my mom of her.

My grandma was one of the good ones. She always thought of others and spoiled me rotten. I remember one winter weekend, my family went up to visit her. Her and my grandpa lived in the mountains and it was cold during the winter months. Well, my mom told me to grab a jacket, but me being 12 didn’t listen to her. When we got to grams house, mom said she wouldn’t get me a jacket, but I was freezing. My grams being the awesome person she is took me to the nearest department store and had me buy whatever I wanted. She was amazing and I miss her everyday!!

On to these Lemon Blueberry Cupcakes. I made these a few weeks ago and knew I wanted to have them for Mother’s Day. They’re so light and airy  and have the perfect amount of blueberries and lemon zest. The cream cheese frosting adds such a great flavor and completes them.

My hubby kept calling these muffins and I kept telling him, ” Honey these are cupcakes, not muffins. Anything with frosting is considered a cupcake, not a muffin.” He was still calling them muffins, until they were gone. Silly man. But cupcake or muffin, these babies are delicious and one of the best cupcakes I’ve ever made or eaten!! I hope you made them soon and love them as well. 😉
