I have been looking for some new fun things to bake and craft. I came across a few new blogs that I like with great ideas. If I ever make any of them I will post pics.
Been really busy and haven't blogged in forever. Truthfully, I haven't even read any blogs in months. I am very busy getting deals for wedeal.com and I am seriously exhausted by the end of the day. I give all you working moms a lot of credit. I only work a half day a few days a week and I am totally exhausted by the end of the night.
Anyway, I hope you all forgive me and hope that you all check in on me every once in a while....
These are a few of my accomplishments while I was on my "blog break".....
- found a great recipe for buttercream, which I changed a little and made better, and no longer have to buy it from someone when I want to make cakes.
-made an amazing shower for my cousin with my mom and siblings.
-gave my kids an amazing winter break filled with sledding, roller skating, ice skating, bowling, ceramic painting, cupcake war baking, mini golfing, overnight waterpark trips, movies, shopping, and playdates.
-found the show Chopped on the food network (love).
-made a kiddush/lunch for my neighborhood on my husband's birthday.
-went to a Bulls game (3rd row!) for the first time in 10 years.
-played in the snow... well the kids did at least.
-and made lots of fun, pretty cookies.
Here are some pictures.....

These came out bad. I used chocolate instead of icing :(
Icing is much easier.
