After our move to Texas, its been a slow go with making new friends. Between settling in, after school activities and exploring the city itself, the past 6 months have gotten away from us. Plus I realize its not as easy as I thought it would be. I forgot how hard it is to meet people who are relatable, friendly and have kids. My friends from back home just started having kids so as happy as I am that they can now share in this… exhausting… I mean rewarding experience… I miss having friends that I can relate to. We’re done with the dirty diapers and the late night feedings and have moved on to extracurricular activities and homework help. So when my kids were invited to a play date by some adorable kids with some pretty cool parents, I knew I had to bring something special. And since it was a week away from Halloween, I knew these Chocolate Ghost cupcakes (with fluffy Swiss meringue frosting) would be perfect for both the kids and the adults!
