Deep Thoughts

Where does the week go. I feel like by the time I get into a good grove the week is over and I have to prepare for a new one! It never ends. This week I am going to work on my time management so I can fit the most important things in. Reading my scriptures, the kids homework, dinner you know the basics :) We will see how it goes, wish me luck!

Deep Thoughts

This last week was a hard one. Between all of the sick days and all of the school snow days there was no time to relax. I am ready for a new fresh week and I know that it can only get better from here!

This Cake is a blast form the past. I tried to make an old fashion cake like my Grandma makes. One that is hand frosted and loosely piped. It was fun! The cake was chocolate with chocolate butter cream filling with chocolate chunks. It was covered in homemade butter cream. Yummy!

Deep Thoughts

In life we always have to make choices. But some times the choices are between good and good. These can be the hardest choices we ever have to make. Why is that you may ask? It is because they both may be good choices and neither as far as you can tell will effect your life one way or another but the reality is a choice must be made! I find that if I turn these choices over to the Lord and am willing to accept any out come I always get an answer. So next time you have a choice to make whether it is simple or complicated ask the Lord for guidance and see what happens!

Chocolate Chip
Yes I know on Wednesdays I talk about my weight and Thursdays I show you all the new yummy desserts I am making. It makes no sense but I love dessert and I want to share them with all of you! These are my special homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies. I came up with the recipe in College and I have been perfecting them ever since. The boys want me to make them every day but I only make them about once a month. If any one knows how to take good pictures of food let me know. I am about to make some great looking cupcakes but I need to get some better shots of them. Let me know if you know how -Thanks-
I have a small project in the works but I will let you all know more about that later :)
