Look At Me Being All Domesticated

and Crafty!

For once in my life. Ha!

I helped host a baby shower for an old and dear friend of mine on Saturday. She is having her first baby, a little boy, at the end of next month and I was incharge of the desserts for the shower.

I had a small panic attack on Friday afternoon that there would not be enough dessert for everyone at the shower. (55 people were invited!) So I decided that I would attempt to make these babies below.

Cake Pops...stollen from the website of the one and only Bakerella!

She is way better at this than I, but for my first attempt I think they turned out pretty well...and a note to self...it only takes 1 cake to make about 45 cake pops...wish I would have realized that before I baked two cakes and glad I didn't do all three of them! :)

Found another awesome use for the cooling rack. :)

The little 'baby boy' ribbon is the cutest!!

Time Flies When You're Having Fun

Yesterday my first 'baby' turned 5 years old. I cannot believe it! The years have sure gone by fast. This is him right after he had his very first birthday:

I had the last two days off of work, so for his birthday yesterday we met up with some friends at the Children's Museum. I haven't been there in years..probably since I was 5! :) And the boys had never been there, so it was a fun time for all.

Here are a few pictures of our day:

So..I wasn't going to add this to my 'blog role' for fear that I'd never get past the first post, therefore embarrassing myself for even mentioning my plan and then not completing the task...but then I thought If I threw it out there and actually made it known that maybe it would hold me more accountable for actually following through with this crazy idea.

So here you go! :)
