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...

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...
