Teachers, mothers, and nurses, oh my!

  I'm not sure how teacher appreciation week, mother's day and nurse appreciation week ended up being all in the same week, but I know it should never happen again! Whew! Talk about a busy week. Oh, and did I mention that I also had my very first vendor event in the middle of all …

Snowman Cake

When I saw this snowman cake on The Cake Blog, which is one of my favorite blogs for cake inspiration, I knew I had to attempt to make it. It was soooo cute and I knew the kids would love it. It was also a very appropriate time to make this snowman cake. It was made …

Winnie the Pooh and Tiger too!

Don't you love when you agree to do a last minute cake order and it turns out to be one of your best?! That's kinda how this Winnie the Pooh cake went. It was a short notice order and the client didn't really have an exact idea for the cake other than it needed to …

How Morning Time Saved Our Homeschool

I was discouraged. I was frustrated. I was close to giving up. I had no idea how homeschooling four children, all different ages, was supposed to work out. And then I discovered morning time. I actually learned about the idea of a morning basket on Pam Barnhill's blog. I spent about a good hour on …

The lesson I learned from my Thanksgiving pecan pie.

I have made pecan pie before and it turned out really good, but this one did not. I think I left it in the oven a little too long. It came out of the oven and the crust and pecans were a little on the well done side. I went to cut a piece to …

A little longer.

Today I got my laminator back out. It took 30 minutes to find and it ended up being in my 7 year olds bedroom, but that's a whole nother blog post. Anyway, this laminator is the best thing I have ever spent $30 on. I bought it a couple of years ago, but it has …

Being Intentional When Life Gets Mundane.

This was a post I wrote about a year ago when I did a Proverbs 31 Bible study on What Happens When Women Say Yes to God by Lysa Terkeurst.. I highly recommend the book. Today is the Blog Hop I've been so excited about! So excited that I started this blog!! For the Blog Hop we …

A crazy(er) week.

I am definitely a summer girl, but there is something about a rainy, cold day with candles lit inside of a warm, cozy house and soup in the crock pot for dinner that makes me happy. This has been a crazy(er) week than usual. All 3 little ones have been sick and for us that …
