Our house teamed up with a couple of other houses to put [...]

Happy Election Day!
In honor of this momentous occasion, I decided to make some festive cupcakes for my housemates. I debated (ha) whether or not to post a picture, but I don’t mind getting a teensy bit political just this once.
He is my state senator after all. But no matter who you’re voting for today, Happy Election Day! [...]
