Cupcake Love

My sweet Moni is doing cupcakes as a business.....she makes very delicious cupcakes.  The baking gene runs deep in our family, my parents used to own a bakery when I was young, and thanks to that I learned how to decorate cakes.  I used to make wedding cakes and birthday cakes for friends, and I would make descent money doing it, but as life would have it.......I ended up with my arm hurting a lot.  That's what usually happens when you do something repeatedly. So I began to cut back on making cakes.  But now, I have my little baker at home, she enjoys it so much and she is so creative.  I'm so proud to see that she has that in her, It reminds me a lot of me when I was that age.  Well as I was saying, she started making cupcakes and trying to make a little business of it.  This past weekend she made her first cupcake order........for $35.  She will hopefully get more business and eventually save up money for a trip she wants to take with school in a year and a half.  They will be going to Spain and France.  But it cost money that we can't give her.  I think she is a very determined person and she will make it happen.  I'm so proud of her and I hope her dream of this trip will come true.

Max is now 7 months

My precious Max.  Little fella is now 7 mo.....going onto 8 mo. in a few weeks.  I see him so lively, so interested in the world around him, as if discovering all that comes into his view.  I'm enjoying him greatly, I take care of him and he keeps me company while everyone else is gone doing their own thing.  We spend many a time together and give each other lots of love.  He's such a sweet boy.  Sometimes he just stares at me, and I can see so much love inside those beautiful eyes.  I hope he will always be close to me.......and stay as sweet.

 

What's going on w/me

If anyone has noticed, I'm not posting as often.  Oh geeze, I don't know what has come over me lately but I am so into a new website I found.  Soul Pancake.  I heard about it through an Oprah Winfrey podcast I was listening to.  So I go check it out, and bam there it is, one of the funnest web sites I've ever come across.  You know how they say different strokes for different folks?  well there you have it, I have found something that makes "me" folks a very happy person.  It's a site were you can answer questions that other people post, and you can also post your own questions.  I have a great time answering them.  Pretty much it's like sitting with friends and having orderly discussions about random things.  It's a whole lot of fun, but I find myself checking in at least twice a day.  Of course early morning and evening........when I have time.  Fun place to hang out.

100th post

Wow, this has come up so fast.........I can't even believe this is actually my 101st blog post! how time has gone by.  Nonetheless, it has been a great experience having this personal blog were I've been able to share my creative thought with the world, were I have made some amazing friends, and were I have become inspired to keep going on.  Life is still as bright and beautiful to me as the day this all started.  Thank you for reading my entries and for having a positive mind as well.  Hope for many more postings in the future.  To all, keep on reading and enjoying. Keep living and enjoying life and the people around you.  Make each day matter.  THANK YOU!!

Halloween

That time of the year again, Second week of October, time for some Halloween preparations.  I personally could wait till the day of, but I still have my little Andrew who plans ahead and urges me to bring out the decorations.  As promised to him by me, we would get it done this weekend, so that is what we did with our Sunday.  Went under the house to dig out all of our decorations.  We are on the frugal side, so we recycle our decorations from one year to the other.  Not such a good time to be wasting money on new stuff.  Any ways, I think it turned out great, and my Andrew was so happy with the end result.  I want to enjoy this as long as I can.  Someday it will be my little Andrews son out there decorating my house.........yes I do look forward to grand kids. For now, I enjoy my own children.  Childhood, what a valuable treasure it is.
