Soren loves you....

Soren was very happy and talkative tonight after mommy came home. I started a new part-time job today - watching my Grandson while my daughter-in-love returns to work. We had a great day together! I am blessed... I love being a Grandma!

Not Just Any Old Day - jewelry!

http://www.notjustanyoldday.com/

I just found this website for jewelry and other items to help you commemorate special occasions. I especially love the charm bracelet and cake server. You could use this jewelry to "mark" any day - wedding, birthday, etc. I love having things in my life that help me remember momentous occasions. Check it out....

Bakerella and "cake pops"

http://bakerella.blogspot.com/

I love this site. Look at these adorable Easter treats. This is the website where I learned to make "cake balls" - I'm sorry, I just don't have another name for them. I have been making a lot of them for an upcoming party. I have made vanilla ones and red velvet and this week I'm going for chocolate and strawberry. I'll let you know how they turn out - not this pretty, that's for sure. I love "Bakerella"!

Fun ideas from TheKnot.com

I love finding new, creative ideas on TheKnot.com. I'm not a yellow person, but I love the idea of the lemons in the vases. I would do limes and green, pink or white orchids. New color combos that I love are red and lime green, red and turquoise, gray/silver and purple - and lots of combos with brown - red, pink, yellow, green. Be creative, live on the edge - go for color!

A baby's touch, a mother's love...

This is from some special time with my daughter-in-love and my grandson today!

What I'm doing right now....

A picture is worth a thousand words ... twitter, hot bath, glass of wine, cake balls .... its a great night!

Cake Balls

My latest adventure - cake balls! My daughter found the recipe on www.bakerella.com. They taste incredible and for my first attempt - they are pretty too! You bake a cake, crumble it and mix it with icing, roll in balls and dip in chocolate. The "cupcakes" take another step, but they were pretty easy to make - it just took a little time. It was an experiment and it was fun.
