Somehow, in the last week or so, I managed to throw together this little quilt for my friend carlye’s (and mike’s) baby-girl-on-the-way. I originally planned to mail something closer to the due date (they recently moved to the Midwest 🙁 ). But, she’s coming back to town this weekend for a baby shower, so once […]
friends
anna, parks, friends.
the weather has been pretty mild here in the carolinas this almost-winter… we’ve been out to the park twice in the last week. i didn’t get many pics of the kids at the first park. mostly because it’s got a ginormous two story play structure that my kids seem to have very little fear of, […]
luigi and a dragon
this year, we went all out and trick or treated twice. on sunday night, we went to old salem. mistake. there were approximately 650,000 other trick-or-treaters and it was slow going. our kids didn’t hang in there for very long. but, they were cute and we got the best pics there, because it was still […]
matching robot shirts
my friend bridgette made these super cute shirts for my lid kids. i’m very excited.
there’s a wocket on my cake
Our friend graelyn is turning two. I think today, actually. And, though adamant about my hiatus, I convinced her mom I would be willing to make a cake for her, since we are pretty good pals. We compromised on me decorating a plain Costco cake, which I can completely get on board with, since I […]
schroeder farewell cupcakes
we attended a little farewell party for our good friends mike and carlye who are moving to Kansas city in a few days or weeks or some such short time frame. Rather than make my typical box cake with buttercream and a stupid fondant decoration, I decided to offer more grownup options… Chocolate chip cookie […]
batavia ny. tuesday.
i’m trying to cram this post in quickly before i head to bed. after a restless night of being eaten alive by mosquitos, i awakened, fed the lidkids breakfast and we headed off to austin park, once home to the dirtiest, diseasiest wading pool in america. or maybe batavia. and i can proudly say, i […]
our new favorite pool
this summer, i researched joining a bunch of different pools, before deciding that the cost to go to tanglewood park’s pool was only $7 per trip and we’d have to go a lot of times to justify paying $400 or more to join any of the “private” area pools. plus, we finally paid the yearly […]
propeller luigi and blue toad cake
i think the title speaks for itself. this cake is for caleb, the eldest of three boys, but with the third birthday in the calendar year. earlier this year, i made a james cake for jesse and a bulldog cake for ezra, caleb’s younger brothers. a very specific request, for his two favorite super mario […]
dixon wedding
as previously discussed, isaac was a ring bearer in a recent wedding of two friends. these two friends, to be exact: on top of providing the ring bearing cuteness, i also brought half of the wedding cupcakery. my friend regi (she’s awesome) provided a cake and the other half of the cupcakes. unfortunately, i didn’t […]
