How to make a birthday cake fit for a 5 year old Princess.

1. Put your signature on your work.

2. ENJOY~ squeeze the bag with a smile to get the most of your decorating experience. Layers of icing are GOOD!

3. Pile on the sugar in all of your favorite colors! It helps to let Momma's friend help you instead of Momma. Miss Jenny encourages creativity and has the coolest decorations.

4. Add edible pearls, sprinkles, white chocolate hearts and the letters of your name made of different colored chocolates. Adore your cake and talk about it for days. Put 5 candles on it and show it off to your adoring fans, (the pride of one precious little girl!) When mom is not looking pitch icing off the piles. She probably won't mind anyway cause a girl only turns 5 once!

Great idea, Melanie. I love it. She will never forget making her own cake! Unlike the prefab ones that they never remember...

Oh,how this makes me miss when my kids were little. My sweet Lauren (15 now) used to "help" me in the kitchen all the time. She loved to make "coctions" she called them...big giant messes is what I called them. But how I would love to go back for just one afternoon and enjoy what you have in these pictures. Thank you for taking me back to such a sweet time with my children. Thank you for sharing!!! She is ADORABLE!!

Blessings,

Wendy

Pretty Woman

I feel just like Julia Roberts in Pretty Women (except for the business transactions.) Since My Dear husband loves teenagers, we have been invited to attend the local prom as chaperons . Finally, I have gotten my dream date to the prom and you know how I like to dance! I thought of how fun this will be. Then it hit me, as it does every girl going to the prom WHAT WILL I WEAR? Since being either pregnant or nursing a baby for about 8 years, I stopped buying dresses unless they are maternity. I have a couple of ' stylin ' friends- one is the size of my leg but the other is pregnant with baby #6. I knew she would have a variety of sizes as she has been blessed with 5 beautiful girls (yes, they are beautiful) and the transition that comes after each of their births. Sure enough, Missi shows up with a variety of sizes, styles and accessories! See, I am Julia Roberts, minus the you know what. Here is what I have learned or have been reminded of in this "Mama sized" dress...

Is this the lab?

I recall having to sign up for lecture and then the lab in college. You learn it in lecture and do it in lab. The labs were usually hours long and put an interesting (meaning not cool!) curve in your day. Yesterday, we had a sick one. Our kids are typically healthy but I am beginning to think it is through their illnesses that I learn. I better get it this time 'cause it is just not fair to the children that they are sick due to their hard headed momma! Sick children are needy and Man Cub was no different. I entertained Lydia with reading, playing a game and having school since she did not have Clay to keep her busy. Blake napped as normal and continues to experiment with the potty....still! This morning, I walked into the living room, one asleep on the couch and another asleep on the love seat neither of them interested in eating and especially not school. Now, 2 kids needing mama and another still experimenting! Meanwhile, my heart is heavy to do something...So many lives lost in...
