Holidays are here!!!

Happy to report that the holidays are here again "werent we just celebrating new years" I honestly believe the older we get the faster time flies.
Anyhooo very happy because it officially kicks off baking season and I just recently purchased a few pieces of bakeware from Wiltons (LOVE)so Im on my way to succesfull baking lol..... or ill try at least.

Castle cake

Made another cake this time for my four year old baby girl.
So happy to report that she loved it, I do have to say that its getting easier every time.

Have been doing a lot of baking lately (yeah crazy I KNOW mid-summer),but I have been having a blast only problem is my pc has been acting up ughhhhhhhh! I have so many pics to upload don't know where to start. So my recent acomplishment with the help of my beautiful daughter was this Betty Boop cake I have to say I was very pleased it was for her thirteenth birthday and it turned out to be delicious.

ON THE UPSIDE

Cant find time for myself lately, in-laws are temporarily moving in and I keep finding that I am feeling so overwhelmed with things to do but yet nothing is getting done. Making room for their things, cleaning this,emptying out that is really starting to take a toll on my very happy demeanor.....I guess ill just take my always encouraging positive approach to things its only temporary..lol....after all life is always good.:)

My baby turned nine.

Not so small anymore, where does time go? I still remember when my baby was small.

We didn't do much he wanted to go bowling and have a nice dinner, which was just great for me (no cleaning), instead I made him my first home made cake from scratch, and if I may say so myself it came out great

Hi everyone I'm so excited about this holiday weekend ,and I wish all of you a safe, but very fun 4th a July. Throw the diet plans out the door ,and eat until your full then eat some more, enjoy the fireworks , have a beer or glass of wine (no drinking and driving), and just enjoy how lucky we are to live in this awesome country.

Enjoy life

Our daily lives are so full of great things to appreciate it, and yet too often we choose to focus on the things that seem to be going wrong, why does that seem to be the case. Life is filled with many more positive, and uplifting things then bad ones. We always have a choice of going about our day as usual with very little or no satisfaction, getting trough the day like one more chore to cross of our list, or we can choose the alternate option that is always readily available for us in making this track around life meaningful. It really is easier then we make it out to be. Start by waking up in the morning, and look for things to be grateful for, the air in our lungs the sun in the sky ( cliche! maybe, but what would it be like without it, right!!). As living human beings we always have the option of looking at things in two ways good or bad why not opt for the better feeling thought that serves our life, and feeds our soul. For all of us moms, what better then to be the shiny example our children would want to aspire to be like. Time is essential and our power to improve is now be happy, and laugh often.
