The Hubs Birthday

Yesterday was my husbands birthday. I was trying to get the girls excited to celebrate daddy's birthday since they were so tired from walking and being in school all day. We made a stop to Rite Aide cause Amelia wanted a toy and I felt bad that i pick up jojo 20 minutes late from school, I felt the need to get her something. We ended up buying daddy his birthday present. By the time we got home I was able to prepare a nice meal before hubby got home from work. I didn't get to finish setting up his birthday table but thankfully he did. Our menu for dinner was brown rice, baked porkchops with parmesan cheese and caramelized onions with peppers,  then some spanish beans to put over the rice. We also had diced cherry tomatoes with kettle corn bites salad with a tastful vinaigrette, simple and easy to make. To finish off the meal a nice Entemann's chocolate fudge square cake.  Daddys surprise dessert was left for another day.  The hubbs was very surprised about everything but I was so beat trying to get things done with no car, two tired girls and this rainy day!!! But all ended peacefully and everyone enjoyed the the day. I love doing small birthdays like these because even though we don't have alot in our pockets to plan big parties and we living on a budget, its the small things that make it very special. So HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the man in my life and in hopes he gets better from the cold.

Until the next Blog.

Birthday Cake!

This last week i was so busy because i had a cake to bake and deliver that weekend. The client was a friend of my assistant manager of a previous job. The cake was for a little girl turning 1, the theme of the cake was baby Minnie Mouse. I did not want to replicate the cake of the image i was given to do, instead i work with the image and my touch to it so that the cake is I made not someone else. The cake is a two tier cake with a red velvet cake on the first tier and the second tier was a yellow cake. The fillings on each was strawberry mouse with freshly cut strawberries slices. I was so proud of this cake because it was done and hour before it was suppose to be deliver. I love this cake because it yet another practice on my baking and decorating skills, I'm not yet a professional but it's a nice hobby of mines. As a disclaimer i am not posting the photo to show off or advertise any business, i just like to share the things i love to do.

Hope you like my creations i will be posting a lot more of my creations in the future!.

Until the next Blog...

Happy Birthday AMELIA!!

Hey bloggers!

Today I thank the Lord for blessing me a daughter 4 years ago. Right before my eyes I'm a truly grateful that my baby is not a baby another. Us mom we wish our kids to stay small but time fails us. However, Amelia being 4 felt like for forever or like how she puts it "it takes to long", but its here and she is very excited to be 4. I really do thank the Lord every day for giving my kids another year of life and I learn to appreciate them every moment I have with them. I feel its important to be this way. I didn't understand why my mom wanted to be so attach to her kids and after having mine own it became very clear why my mother was the way she was. 

We are so excited because we are going to celebrate Amelia 4th birthday this Sunday. She is a huge fan of Disney Junior Princess Sofia the First, so i'm working hard to put my creativity to work once again. I am trying not to push my wallet for this party but i want to make it very presentable and look more like a elegant purple tea party.  

 Can't wait to show you all the decorations from the party! Until the next blog!
