My daughter is turning 12...



So my daughter is turning 12 this weekend and yet again I am slaving away preparing a party for 13 preteen friends, 2 brothers and one birthday girl. And the theme of the year...emojis. More accurate 'poop' emoji. That one wasn't that difficult but Mady's favorite is the blushing emoji. I must say not an easy task when making a cake without fondant. I mixed Raspberry jello with yellow icing to make a peachy color for the blushing and gel for the eyes and mouth. All while getting over the flu.

 I AM A SUPERHERO!

Dayso 4 - 8 - Washed Away and Cakes

Image
Day 4 So this has been a very trying day. I had 3 kids worth of activities I had to deal with and throw in a couple bonus kid activities that all fall at the same time and then cupcake #3 goes and throws a huge wrench in the works. Needless to say not much time to create. I still got in 2 hrs so I started this and hope to finish it tomorrow but have decided to take cupcake #3 to the child and youth mental health intake drop in tomorrow so maybe not. We will see. Day 5 Messed up Day 6 I didn't any pictures but I made 3 cakes for my little guys school carnival cake walk. Day 7 Worked on the painting but didn't photograph because I was so frustrated. Bad day! Day 8 Finally finished but I must say the water was very difficult. I'm pretty happy with the outcome.

Rainbow Stew - a short story

Rainbow Stew By Ilana Hoegler For Madison, Jack and Wyatt   The Arrival The children arrived in a garden surrounded by a 25ft pink wall.

All they remembered of their past was that one night when they were 11, 9 and 7 year old they went to sleep in their beds and woke up the next morning in a magnificent garden with nothing but their clothes, and school backpacks. When Mady, the oldest, woke she noticed that the flowers and vegetables of the garden had been planted in the order of a rainbow. Although she thought this was strange what she wondered more was how, whomever had grown the garden, had been able to grow green and blue flowers naturally. The garden was enchanting. She felt at peace and would have preferred to sit quietly in the garden but she had to find her brothers, her family or her cats, Tucker and Charlie. Someone else had to be there. First she found Jack, the oldest brother, not too far aw...

How I learned to love reading.

I have never been a good reader. I have tried for years to read especially after I had children to be a good example. I wanted to raise kids who loved to rea   It did get easier once ereading was invented but I was still really slow. I felt dumb. I think because I was so slow and I had a hard time processing the written word that I was attracted to simpler books written for teenagers. I also like a sweet love story. This is where I developed my love of stories of Utopian society or more accurately the failure of Utopian society, lol and my favorite love stories involving vampires and other magical characters. A year ago I lost the ability to read due to depression and CFS. I still wanted to read so my friend suggested audiobooks. I started finding a selection of unabridged audio books on the website of my public library using the OneClick, Overdrive apps and when the library didn't have something I wanted to read I went to Audible. Now I have a book going all the time and...
