Three Sweet Orders And A Sad Lolly Cat :)

-

Hello friends! Well, right before we took off for Colorado you could find me in the kitchen dippin strawberries and writing "Happy Birthday Frog" on a strawberry cake! You may think that preparing all of this right before take off would stress me out but it's actually the opposite! Baking is so therapeutic for me! As you see there's a half dozen strawberry order, dozen, and cake. How exciting! I also handed out my first official menu and was told that I need to add my picture to it! When I get to a finishing point i promise i'll share a pdf will ya'll! Thank you for all of your enthusiasm and support.

While I was baking, poor kitty didn't get any attention. As you can see, Lolly was so sad that we were leaving her. She technically could fit in my suitcase! Poor Lolly :(
Don't you love this Paula Dean styled box? I'd want to get strawberries in this pretty thing! Thanks to Michael's and 40% off!!!
I also found pink ink pads on sale for two dolla! aah!
Something I must share with you cake lovers; always trim the top of the cake so that the cakes stack together evenly :) It's kinda scary at first but you can do it!

And there you have it! Happy Birthday Frog!!

    Your kitty sounds like ours, as she is sad when we leave her too! I also enjoy watching your baking as it continues to progress!

Jude's Little Blue Truck Party

-

Little Blue Truck Almost every day, Jude enjoys the rhythm and rhymes of a particular book about a little blue truck. This truck and a few adorably illustrated farm animals help a mean old dump truck ( HOOOONK ) learn a valuable lesson about making friends. We all need friends and the right kind; that is for certain. He can finish almost any phrase, make all the animal sounds, and turn each page as we snuggle together. We treasure those moments and hearing his animated "beep, beep, beep!" Since this little dude has such an attachment to the "Little Blue Truck" by Alice Shertle, we decided that it would be the perfect theme for his second birthday party. I tried not to go over-the-top since Jude could care less about all the matchy decorations. I get it. However, just as I thought, he LOVED the blue truck on his cake! I'm so glad his gaze stopped on the cake for two seconds to notice it... he wouldn't quite settle down until that truck was on th

What to Think

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.   Let your reasonableness be known to everyone.  The Lord is at hand;   do not be anxious about anything,  but in everything by prayer and supplication  with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.   And  the peace of God,  which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.   What you have learned and  received and heard and seen  in me—practice these things, and  the God of peace will be with you. ( Philippians 4:4-9, ESV) If there's one thing I find myself dwelling on lately, it's when will I have a normal day? There's something about predictability that is comforting. Every day after lunch I have to have some coffee... and

Fall Afresh On Me

Fall Decor At Our Tennessee Home I apologize in advance for this crazy and loaded blog post. I tried blogging about one topic and then it just exploded. So, enjoy! Fall Afresh? What does that mean? It happens to be the lyric of one of my favorite songs lately.  If you haven't heard of Bethel Music or Jeremy Riddle, here's a song that just might bless you. I love the lyrics! "Spirit of the living God, come fall afresh on me, come wake me from my sleep. Burn through the caverns of my soul, pour in me to overflow." That is my prayer!! I grew up singing hymns mostly so I knew this song came from this hymn , just in case you were unaware!   I've been thinking a lot about seasons, particularly fall since it's my first fall away from home. This song just so happens to have the word fall in it so I just had to share it with you!  I'm so thankful for the meaningful relationships we had in Tennessee. One special lady even surprised me just yesterday by
