SIX MORE ORDERS!

-
Hello again friends! I can't believe it; I've had six more orders this week! First, Mr. Carey Hook and his wife happen to be family friends of ours. They own many Marble Slab Creameries including the one in Murfreesboro, TN where I worked as a new college student (hints the ice cream cone added on the top right due to my lack of center spacing). My sister and her husband knew that his favorite cake was Red Velvet so I gladly whipped up a miniature one for my old boss! If he orders it again I'll probably give it to him for free because one time I dropped a whole bucket of chocolate sprinkles!!! (One topping is like fifty cents these days!!) 


As I delivered the Red Velvet cake I met Karen who ordered a cookie cake! I've had a hard time learning how to write pretty with this new Pampered Chef frosting gun! Basically, I've learned that using my normal small tipped decorator tubes (as seen above on cake) that it looks wrinkly on cookie cakes since they're textured. Chocolate chips are bumpy, challenging, and unpredictable!! I'll keep practicing. Although I'm not proud of my writing, I heard that it tasted wonderful...yay!!
 I'm almost ready to print my menu!! The next orders are treats for a babyshower, two orders of chocolate covered strawberries, and a Happy Birthday Frog cake. Not sure who frog is but I'm delighted to help celebrate his Birthday! THIS IS CRAZY! I'm having so much fun.  
Well, thank you for sharing this journey with me! Blake's been so helpful and supportive; I'm sure it's a challenge constantly smelling tempting aromas! Time to broaden my horizons and glean from this mighty book... I'm going to go put on an apron to study it. Hahah just kidding.

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...

Grief, Glory, and Guacamole

Florida Herrons May, 2018 To my friends who have shared this little blog with me over the past ten years, thank you!   There's a part of me that has been avoiding writing lately because I didn't know where to start. My heart has been heavy this year. Moments where you stop and pray ;  But you, O LORD, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head. (ESV Psalm 3:3) So, as I begin to blog again I feel the need to clarify something; transparency is not my goal here. I hesitate to focus on simply being transparent because it's important for me not to shortchange the TRUTH of God's word and lordship over my life. Another head-nodding in affirmation is nice but I need Jesus. I need the power of His word.  My aim is to glorify the Lord and tell of His faithfulness. After all, " For  we are his workmanship,  created in Christ Jesus  for good works,  which God prepared beforehand,  that we should walk in them . (ESV Ephes...

Let the nesting begin! We have been so thrilled to be able to start putting the baby room together! Thanks to Blake's workmanship and our wonderful Leigh Ann and Lonas, we now have an assembled crib and changing table for little baby boy!  little kitty is not allowed in baby's room i was a super tool holder! the changing table was a lot harder to assemble than the crib! Thanks to the wonderful world of Pinterest I have been able to successfully organize many creative ideas for our little baby boy nursery!! I definitely do not want to get carried away but I LOVE making little creative projects.   Our crib!! Room idea #1 our crib :) also, we are probably going to paint the nursery this color! I'll be hanging some lanterns too! We are SO thankful that Blake's amazing momma,"Granna," will be making the baby bedding for us! It makes me kind of sad that sewing is a dying art but it's so cool that we'll have a li...
