After about 7 hours off and on of mixing, measuring, baking, more mixing, kneading, chilling, tinting, rolling, shaping, and decorating….the cake….is finished! I’m actually quite happy with how it turned out even if it is a tad different than originally planned. After realizing that black fondant is IMPOSSIBLE to make, I altered some of the… Continue Reading…
One of the first questions that came to mind after I got my positive pregnancy test was, Can I still breastfeed? What about after the baby is born, can I breastfeed them both?
Today I thought I would share my two favorite cake icing recipes since I will be doing a lot of baking this weekend. Most people tend to shy away from fondant because they think its gross or too difficult to make. I swear….you’ll like this recipe! This fondant has a very sweet, and rich… Continue Reading…
My daughter will be celebrating her 1st birthday on Tuesday…and of course we had to choose a theme. We decided to go with ladybugs, pretty typical but cute as ever. As part of our family tradition I always make the birthday cakes.
Cake decorating is another hobby of mine and while I’m not great at… Continue Reading…
I know we’ve only lived near each other for a year or so, but what goes on in my personal life is of no concern to you. I’m glad you enjoyed your garage sale and made lots of money, but I don’t prefer to have perfect strangers rifling through my garage. If us not participating… Continue Reading…
It seems as though it was just this time last year, I was moaning and complaining, begging for my daughter to get her foot out of my rib and come meet me. I blinked. Now she’s running all over my house as of one month ago, has a full set of teeth, and weighs… Continue Reading…

Now I have no family history of twins, or even the slightest inkling, aside from the dreams, that I would even have them. But the shear… Continue Reading…
Now I must admit, I don’t have a lot of time for hobbies, but this one has always been so interesting to me.
With my baby girl’s first birthday approaching I wanted to give her a gift that was special, something she could look back on when she has her own babies. So last week I… Continue Reading…
Every few days I stop by a blog that brings tears to my eyes just looking at it, I don’t even have to read the words. It’s from a woman I’ve never seen, never spoken to, or even commented on her blog. Why? Because it might bring back my own pain.
You see it’s the story… Continue Reading…
Many will equate this phrase with a 1955 Movie, others think of it as marriage superstition.
So let’s think about that for a moment….when doing some googling I found that the meaning is “after being married for seven years you start looking at other options. Hence you have an itch to scratch. In layman’s terms, one… Continue Reading…
That pretty much describes how our life has turned since the news. The initial shock of having a third child has officially worn, although I expect it will return sometime in the third trimester…you can quote me on that. My husband has actually been quite calm throughout the past week, with one exception. He’s turning… Continue Reading…
