Delightful Quote of the Day

While driving in the car in total silence...

Annalise:     "Mommy, I want to be a giant."
Me:            "You do? Why's that?"
Annalise     "Because giants have magic beans and grow big bean-stocks and live in the clouds."

At first, I was totally amused, but on second thought, that actually does sound kinda nice :)

Cupcakes for Kaleb


About a month ago I heard the story about a 9 year old boy in our community who was fighting a long battle with cancer. He is so brave and his story moved me so much that I wanted to be a part of of a fundraiser held for him last weekend. So I did what I do best, made cupcakes!

About a year and a half ago I started a small catering company doing cupcakes and cookies for events. I loved it and business was rolling in, but my kids were very small (18 months and newborn) and they would cry when I would bring out the mixer because they knew Mommy would be occupied for awhile. I knew I couldn't be the best Mom I could be while doing this so I made the painful decision to quit.

When I heard about Kaleb, I wanted to do something and since everyone loves cupcakes, I made some and brought them to the fundraiser. His favorite colors are navy, white and orange. I had so much fun making these for Kaleb and think he is an amazing kid!
