Confession

I have a confession. Maybe this makes me a bad person but some sort of planning go into my posts. Usually I know what my next post is gonna be a while before I post. I actually have several posts lined up for you all. Fun stuff too! I show you the insides of my purse, a super fun package came in the mail, we bought something new and exciting, AND I went out to eat at a great local "Spot". However, plans change. Plans fail.

I had this fun post planned about this wonderful dinner I had planned for my husband. There was going to be oven roast, crisp, colorful salad, golden corn, and yummy dessert. Makes my hungry just thinking about it. I took this cute picture with some sort of goofy caption in mind like, "swirling cake makes me feel like a little kid" or something cute yet witty.

See? Now I think the chipped nail polish is a sign. A sign that this was doomed to fail.

Take a look at the results of my cake. Keep in mind, I haven't uterally failed at a cake in a very long time, not bragging, just fact.

Does something look off in the picture? Wait, what is that green thing? You see it right? Holding the knife, looks like there might be a finger in there right?

Correct.

I burnt my hand Not lightly either. I poured boiling sugar water over my hand. It wasn't my smartest move ever.

I still kinda finished dinner. I finished cooking the roast (slightly dry from cooking while I was waiting in Urgent Care) and I finished icing the cake.

You can totally tell something is wrong with this cake. Oh well, it was not meant to be. But alas, I must digress from you all and go nurse my hand. Don't worry though, I'm totally being overdramatic. I went back for a followup and it's only 1st degree burns but my pinkie got it pretty bad so we are babying it. No major damage.

First Day of School

It seems like everyone is going back to school! Jaxon started preschool this last week. He actually went for a few months last school year but this is his first "first day of schoool" experience. Everyone has asked how he's doing and it's kind of funny. The question almost seems odd to me. He LOVES school. He gets to go outside of the house for 2 hours, 3 days a week and see his friends and play with his teachers. Yes, I understand it's school and he's learning, but at preschool age it's a lot of fun for him. Here's some fun photos from his first day. How cute is he with his little backpack? They had this adorable little photo booth for kids on their first day. I tried to get him to pose so I could read the sign. Of course the sign turned into a bird. What can I do. I tried. Jaxon posed with his teacher. She's so sweet, it's her first year teaching and she reminds me of gum drops and rainbows and puppy dog tails. Everythi...

2 Year Anniversary

May 15th is our anniversary. For out two year anniversary we went to the Grand Canyon. It really couldn't have been greater. Here are some of the pictures from this past weekend. This was our cabin and the view from our window We learned how to lasso and saw tadpoles Relaxed and enjoyed the view I do have some travel tips for you. If a place if called "Out of this World", you really should stop and try their food. Eat a burger, take a picture, order a cake (try to be better than me and snap a picture before you scarf it down), also, order a pizza to take back to your room. It'll be worth it. Trust me.

Pake

When did life change so much? One kid become two? Stay at mom become stay at mom and worker? Errands become errands and more errands because they are never finished? Seven become seven and eleven? Wait... I may have gotten a little off track with that last one. Life is always so crazy it seems that one you finally get used to it, something changes. That's what pake is. Something you're not used to but it can totally work. A pake: half pie, half cake. Don't worry, we're not talking apple pie with frosting. It's a pie crust with red velvet cake and cream cheese frosting. Now this is a learning lesson. The original recipe I used is from  Lifetime . It was originally made on a show called "Drop Dead Diva". Total chic show but it was fun. The only thing it that whatever world they cook in, cakes rise several inches. Here in the normal world? Not so much. I've modified the recipe slightly below. Ingredients: Pie Crust - Either make your own or ...
