My New Baby

Yes, that is what you think it is. Doesn't quite look human, does it? Well, it is the best behaved kitchen helper I have! I LOVE this new addition to my kitchen! I've been wanting this mixer since my Kitchen-Aid mixer died last year. Jon got me this for my b-day, and on that day my Bosch-y was used three times. Let me tell you ... these rolls are so much better having been kneaded in my Bosch-y. Their texture was just so satiny and they were so yummy! To date, I've made rolls, wheat bread, and red-velvet-cake-balls. I think I'll try him out again when I make pretzels for the girls to take for their snack at school. And, I can't wait to make cinnamon rolls! YUM!

And, Jon? Well, he broke in my Bosch-y last Saturday to make my birthday cake! It was a yummy recipe for a raspberry cake that I found online.


However, I'm not a big fan of buttercream frosting (the recommended frosting for the cake), so I found a recipe for Raspberry Cream Cupcakes and used the cream filling from that for the frosting. Actually, I didn't use it ... Jon did. Isn't my hubby wonderful? I gave him the recipes and a little direction and he made me a "first-ever-made" birthday cake! He's awesome!

Yea - so you did get a great cake! I'm glad, sounds like the perfect birthday! I mentioned getting a mixer one time - Mark said, "and what would YOU use it for?" I got a long ways to go before I get to be like you!

I want one of those soooo bad! I'm very impressed your husband baked you a cake and it looks delicious! Cooper does a wonderful job cooking, but I don't know if he's brave enough to bake. Happy Birthday, by the way!

Pink Day

By
Today I was sifting through all the clothing and pulling out clothes that were stained and torn, as well as clothing the children had outgrown. There was a huge pile of clothing to sort through, and an ever growing pile of clothes to donate.  At one point, I pulled out a pink t-shirt and asked, "Whose is this?" Someone said it was Maryanne's, which couldn't have been true because it was a size 8. It wasn't her color anyway ... So I tossed it in the donate pile. (In hind sight, I now think my mom gave it to Maryanne for Christmas, and she said that she wasn't sure what size to get for Maryanne. Whoops on my part.) That's when Adam exclaimed that he wanted a pink shirt. Other children chimed in with, "It is his color." (Referring to his Dressing Your Truth type.) Adam bolted toward the donate pile and seized the shirt, promptly pulling it over his head and the collared shirt he had on. (Later he removed the collared shirt, after much cajoling from ...

85+ Books!

By
It's been almost a year since I started keeping track of all the books I've read.  When it's all in a list ... by date ... it really makes me realize how much I read!  I burned through almost a book a day in the month of January: 24 books total ... the greatest number of books in one month!  After compiling the list, I figured I may as well share it with all my friends!  I've organized them by genre/topic ... and now I realize I need to branch out more!  Books I read multiple times this year have asterisks. REGENCY/HISTORICAL ROMANCE The Apothecary's Daughter, Julie Klassen Edenbrooke*, Julianne Donaldson The Girl in the Gatehouse, Julie Klassen The Heiress of Winterwood, Sarah Ladd The Maid of Fairbourne Hall, Juie Klassen Lady of Milkweed Manor, Julie Klassen Short Straw Bride, Karen Witemeyer The Silent Governess, Julie Klassen The Tutor's Daughter, Julie Klassen CLEAN ROMANCE Bah, Humbug!, Heather Horrocks The Cubicle Next Door*, Siri L....

My Two Teenagers

By
As personalities come, these two girls are like night and day. Both are silly at times, and both can be serious at times. And yet, that rarely happens at the same time! We have entered the world of teenagers, and it is quite the dramatic world! My oldest daughter is dealing with all the drama that teenagers bring: ostracism, judging, and feeling friendless. My younger teenager is just full of fun dramatics: silly faces and expressions, acting wonky and crazy, and saying that "everyone is my friend, even their mom and dad!" At any rate, I couldn't be more in love with these two. They fight over their littlest sister ("I get to hold her!"  "You've been hogging her all day!"), fight over who spends more time in the shower ("I do NOT spend an hour in the shower!"), and fight over who gets my MacBook ("She always gets to do her school on your computer!"  "But, all my stuff is on there!").  My world would be quite dramatical...
