Mothers Day Tribute


A little about my Mommy.
Yes even at 33 years of age I still call my Mom Mommy sometimes{giggle}. There is no better feeling than hearing your Mom's voice when your feeling down, or need that little nudge when you feel like giving up. My Mom amazes me everyday. She suffers daily from MS and never have I heard a complaint.Even with her daily battles she works from morning to dark and still has a cheery note in her voice.My mom lives so far away and I miss her so much everyday. I hope I can beeven half the women my Mom is. Mommy I love you so much.
Always & Forever

My castle Nightmare...Turned Fun

If you have school age children at the grades of Projects you can empathize with me today{giggle}.

Last night I sit down to relax,dishes are done house is at peace and I am exhausted. My 9 year old Son comes up to me and says Mommy How much do you love me? I look at him and smile and tell him to infinity and beyond(our little thing together lol). He says oh good because I have to build a castle by Morning for school.{Yikes} I know what your thinking that is his problem let him deal with the consequences. But I have no power against my children's eyes{giggle}

So yes I broke the rules and built the castle..hehe.
Here is my 2 hour rush castle Job. Please let me know what you think...and please be nice i am so not good at this kind of stuff.

Skateboard Cake Directions...Grad Cake

If your child is anything like mine he/she is not into to fancy plain bought at the store cakes. So for my sons Grad I have Chosen this Skateboard cake. My 13 year old boy is Skateboard crazy. He eats breathes and Sleeps its and is really good if I do say so myself.

These are general instructions. I want to substitute the colors and maybe some other things to make it realistic. once I make mine I will for sure post the pictures here..{giggle}we can hope for the best.



So here is the Cake and DIY Instructions You Will Need:

9-inch round cake
9- by 13-inch cake
Yellow and red food coloring
3 16-ounce tubs of white frosting
Wooden toothpick
4 small chocolate-coated doughnuts
2 Pirouette cookies
4 peppermint candies
Pastry bag and tip

1. Cut the round cake in half. Trim the long edges of the rectangular cake so that they are contoured like the sides of a skateboard, then arrange the cakes as shown.

2. Tint 2 tubs of frosting yellow and 1 tub red. Then spread a thin base layer of yellow icing over the entire cake.

3. Create a pattern for the design by using a toothpick to etch a swirl and stripes in the frosting. Use a pastry bag fitted with a wide, round tip to pipe frosting peaks on the entire cake: red on the swirl and stripes, yellow on the remainder. If the icing is too soft to hold its shape during piping, simply chill it right in the bag for a few minutes.

4. Finally, for each set of wheels, use dabs of frosting to stick a doughnut to each end of a Pirouette cookie (you may need to make the doughnut holes a bit bigger first). Stick the peppermint candies to the outer centers of the doughnuts. Let the frosting harden a bit and then set the wheels in place atop the skateboard.
