Cake decorating

Ok so some of you know that over this past month I have been taking cake decorating classes. I have had several requests to post some pictures of my cakes. We only decorated 3 cakes. The first was a snowman cake, the second was clowns, and the third was something with roses. Of course, I am by no means professional but it was fun doing them. Jared liked it too since we got a new cake to eat each week. I made him take it in to work so that I wasn't sitting at home eating it. So here are the pictures.

Kaitlyn's Krazy Crawl

Here's a short video of Kaitlyn's version of crawling.  I'm sure this will change over time to something a little more normal.  In the meantime, we get a kick out of it.

Kaitlyn's big day

So yesterday was a big day for our baby girl. After a month of hard work, she started crawling. It's not exactly the normal crawl but she is definitely on the move. We call it the Kaitlyn Crawl. We were so excited! Now we just have to move things out of her reach. With the crawling, Kaitlyn has built up the confidence to try and pull herself up to standing by bracing herself on me. She is definitely still working on it.

On the other side, she had another first. She made her first trip to the hospital. She has been a little under the weather this last week and has had a pretty bad cough but it has progressively gotten worse and today while she was crawling to me I saw blood coming out of the corner of her mouth. She wasn't acting hurt so we checked her gums, thinking maybe she cut her teeth, but there wasn't anything. So we thought maybe she had coughed up some blood. We called the after hours line for our doctors and they wanted us to bring her in. So we did and fortunately it wasn't anything big she had a pretty good cut on the inside of her cheek which we think she must have fallen with her fingers in her mouth and cut her cheek with her nails. We were so relieved it wasn't anything big. They said it was just a bad cold with her cut and we just need to watch her for a fever.

Lots of firsts!

Mary Kay Consultant

So I must be crazy. As you all know, I was laid off in November. Jobs have been pretty slim pickings since then with the job market being as it is. So I decided to try my hand at selling make-up. It is well known that I have a very sad obsession with make up since doing stage make up in high school and college. So I thought why not put 2 loves of mine together talking to people and playing with make up. I just hope I can sell enough not to regret this decision. :) I will still continue to look for a job but even if I find one I can keep this as a side job. The other advantage to this is if I do well. I can continue to make my own hours and spend more time with Kaitlyn (YEAH!!) We'll see how things go.

Please let me know if you know any one who is interested in the Mary Kay products or if you know someone who would be interested in selling them. There are no "territories" so I can sell to anyone in the US. I am offering free shipping right now to kick things off. I also accept credit cards.

Here is my website. Please feel free to pass it on.
