For the Sake of Sanity

Mothers have a very difficult job. Often times they are the first ones awake, and the last ones to sleep. We cook every meal, clean every mess, match every sock, and mend every boo-boo. It is extremely taxing sometimes to not have a break. Its like a person with a full time job; they truly embrace the weekend as a break from their "work life" and usually do things that make them happy. Every mother needs this little break as well! For the sake of her sanity!!! I was extremely blessed to have been given a break like this last night. I was able to go to my friends house, drink wine, play games, and hang out with a bunch of women that I really look up to! And guess what... instead of being tired or hung over or whatever this morning... I was REJUVINATED!! I got up, got breakfast, dressed my kids and we went to the park... all before 9:30am! So... that just proves to me that a "break" is the best way to make a happier, more efficient mama!

A YUMMY Way to Save Money for Bdays!

I figured out a way to make my own cake with fondant... I'm pretty proud of myself. Being that it was my first time ever doing it, it didn't come out perfect... but it was WAY better than I expected... now that I know how to do this I plan on practicing a lot. Who knows, maybe I could start up another new business!?
