Project 365 2013: Our Life in Photos February 3rd – 16th
One of my favorite Instagram pics from the week. I’ll admit that I haven’t been in the mood to take pictures lately. I get this way just about every year around this time… I feel like my life is just one day after another of the same old same old and get in a serious [...]

One of my favorite Instagram photos from the week. January 27th: As I mentioned in this post, Kelly is taking a cake decorating class for 4-H. We’be been practicing, practicing, practicing! If you have any helpful tips, please pass them along. She has really taken to it and is having a lot of fun!
Food Styling Challenge {White Chocolate Confetti Cake}
Cake decorating is not my forte, at all. You might remember that when I took a cake decorating class through Wilton several years ago, I made roses that looked like cabbage heads. My skills are quite comical. Well, my daughter, Kelly, is currently taking a cake decorating class for 4-H. She seems to be a [...]

Project 365 2012 – Finishing Up the Year Part 2
Taking a picture a day in 2012 hasn’t been hard for me. In fact, I take so many pictures each day sometimes the hardest part is choosing which picture gets to be the picture of the day. Getting them uploaded to my blog in a timely manner has also been difficult, but so worth it. [...]
