There should be nothing more to talk about today then it is National James Day. Yes, I have a James! He is an incredible little 4 year old with a crazy funny mind. I could sit for hours and watch his facial expressions. My Bucket of Sunshine, James is a little on the wild side but gives great hugs and has such a pure little heart. He likes to be the center of attention so today I am doing a shout out to Jamesy… I am thinking I could also celebrate Poet in a Cupcake Day. Yes, you heard me right.. It is Poet in a cupcake day… Basically, you either write in the frosting lines from your favorite poet or you could just put a picture on a cupcake and recite the poem, either way you have two of my favorite things, poetry and cupcakes you just can’t go wrong… I did see that it is Clean Up your Pantry Day and that seems exhausting… I mean if you clean it, it will be empty because you will HAVE to toss all those products from 1998….
