My husband bought an exercise vest.
That he wears in public.
Is this grounds for divorce?
It looks like he has bombs attached to him like the bad guys in terrorist movies…
Yes, that’s him…getting ready to go out where living humans can see him.
This morning he put it on inside the house and did all sorts of weird calisthenics.
Some of those images can’t be erased.
I mean, I am all for keeping him healthy, yada yada…
but at what cost?
Tim Gunn, please hear my cry.
I just had to share that with y’all.
Misery loves company.
Back to things that make me happy: Push-Up Pops.
I did them a few months ago, but since then I got the fun book Push-Up Pops by my friend Courtney. Have you guys seen it? It’s super sweet and is chock-full with cute ideas! She did a rainbow version of the push-up pop in the book and my little guy loved it so much he asked if I could make them for the Spring Party in his classroom…but he specifically asked for “Easter” colors. That kid’s a thinker.
You can follow my step by step instructions here, or again, I certainly encourage you to get Courtney’s book 🙂
I used a vanilla boxed mix and divided the batter in half. I tinted one half pink and the other purple.
I baked the two colors in 9×13 baking dishes. You want them to be thin layers.
I used the push-up pops to poke circular pieces of the cake.
I made frosting using THIS RECIPE and tinted it spring time colors, yellow and green.
I used a ziplock bag to pipe the frosting into the pops.
Here’s the assembly process…
One round of purple cake topped with frosting…and if you’re feeling fancy add in some pastel sprinkles…
Then finish it by adding another cake layer in your other color and more frosting and sprinkles…
That’s it!

My husband is a Marine and often goes running in cammies, boots, and his flak jacket. It’s a lot sexier when he is all matchy matchy. Much better than seeing him run in his swim trunks
Thank you soooooo much!!! OMG I just busted out laughing at the vest story!!!! I love your push up pops!!!!!
WAY cute! Love the spring colors! I think I need Courtney’s book! =)

OK, so I bought those and I can’t figure out what to do with them! I think these spring ones are cute. Maybe I should get her book.
These are so festive! I love the color combos and the sprinkles. Perfect!
CUTE! I totally have to try these. Guess I have to invest in those pop thingies first!
I’m afraid to tell my husband about this post. Afraid because I feel certain that he’ll want that vest. 😉
OK…these push-pops are darling! I must get Courtney’s book and dive in!
There are adorable!! Does he wear this vest while running in jeans?! 🙂
bahahahahahahahahaaaa!! He just got back from a hike with the vest, jeans and, yes, a belt!!
So pretty…love them!
These are absolutely adorable! Love these!
