Pow Gift Bags

I really would love to beat out last year’s two layer Batman cake with an 8 layer Justice League cake for Maddox’s birthday this year. But after the debate between the cake and cupcakes (and dealing with with lots of fondant) I am leaning towards doing Cake Pops this year. Besides the fact that all the parties we have been to in England they send the cake home with the kids to eat later. Seems like the Cake Pops would be perfect for that. I can always do a tiny little cake with the candle for his birthday song. Thoughts?

Something that makes me sad


Photo included is my dad’s last trip to Disneyland with my family. Ronan was two and I was pregnant with Maddox at the time. Pictured here with my sister and our friend Austin.
 


“Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don’t, then who will, sweetie? so keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life’s a beautiful thing and there’s so much to smile about.” Marilyn Monroe

My current pair has holes in the soles, no good in puddles.

‘Something that makes me sad’ is not having my dad around anymore.
Not just for me but for my boys as they grow up. :(

Circle

Maddox’s birthday is coming up and so it is time to start getting his party planning into order.  If you remember I made Ronan’s Indiana Jones invitations back in January.  For Maddox’s party this year he wanted a Super Hero party…more specifically a DC Justice League party.  I decided to tie his theme together with a Comic Book Pop Art look.  Here are the double sided invitations that I made tonight. The dots I think took the most time. Maddox says he really likes them and I look forward to making the decorations.
