Strawberry Cupcakes for a Family Celebration
At Nod, we believe your home should be a celebration of family. We’ll be featuring our Managing Director, Michelle, at home celebrating her own family with recipes, crafts and décor created by our friend Sweet Paul.
It’s a big day here at home for Nod’s managing director Michelle. Her youngest son Everett is getting ready for his first day of kindergarten. But Everett’s not the only one celebrating. The whole family has gotten together to throw him a party. And what better way to celebrate than with a few tasty treats. It just goes to show that any milestone can be a way to get the whole family together for a little fun & a little food.
