I’m Back…Again

 

Hello!!! I am still here!! Unfortunately I have been without internet service for a few weeks (long story involving me and our cable company…let’s just say I need to learn NOT to let my temper get the best of me sometimes).

 

So…

I am going to give you the run down of the haps this past few weeks….

 

First, I spent a fabulous day with my kiddos, mom, sister-in-law and nephews at a few farm markets.

 

Here a a few pictures from our little day trip.

 

 

Corn Maze!

The average group takes 20 minutes in this particular maze…it took us 40…directionally challenged we are.

This is the coolest picture! It looks like the jack-o-lanterns are on fire! I have no clue what my camera was set on, but it looks awesome

 

Gabe and Lily had their class Halloween parties…at their two different schools. I had to go back and forth…haha!

 

Princess Lily! Normally she does NOT eat like this! Or drink Kool Aid (I think this may be the first time she had ever had it…hence the weird look on her face).

I have also been making some cakes. If you have only been following me for a short time…I have a small cake business…I know, I know…a healthy baker? I use all natural and organic ingredients…giving my clients a more natural alternative to processed grocery store and commercial bakery cakes

  1. Love your cakes! How many are you making in your business a month? Love the fall pictures! I wish I could go to an apple orchard....not so fall like in Southern California. I could go for one of those apple cinnamon donuts!

Exploring the Upper Peninsula...and a Few Yummies

I am going to make this short...because I am desperately trying to be more intentional with my time.  Spending less of it on my phone or com...
