How to embarrass your tweenage son

So, I decorated these cookies late one night. 

Not a whole collection, 

just a couple.

I was doing some corsets for a bachelorette party and wanted to try something different.

I left them out to dry on the kitchen table, and went to bed.

The next morning was a school day.

I always try to send Ethan downstairs first, before his little brother, 

so that he can get his books and lunch together 

without a tornado spinning around his ankles.

Needless to say, I completely forgot about the half-dressed cookies

I left on the kitchen table....

...where he makes his lunch as soon as he gets downstairs....

AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!

MOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!

What The Heck!!!!

Not only was his eleven-year-old self completely mortified...

I'm reasonably sure he's convinced his mother is a freak.

Summer Vacation!

Lizy has been so very busy, that Lizy is getting dizzy!

It's been a fabulous summer so far.

Lots of time at the pool, seeing friends and family, trying to explain to my kids that I will turn on the oven to bake cookies, but not to make dinner....

I've had lots of fun orders...I think this is my favorite so far!

Corsets!!!!

Green ones too!

I've been waiting for a naughty cookie order.  These weren't over the top, but still hard to explain to the tweenage boy.

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer!

I'm officially taking a blogging break for August, but I'll be back when school starts in September!!

See you at the pool!

My First Wedding!

I completed my first wedding order over the weekend!!!

My girlfriend Lisa (My Flower Girl) did the flowers for this wedding and the couple ordered matching monogramed cookies for their favors!

I made 'Mrs' and 'Mr' cookies as a surprise for the bride and groom.

I was nervous about getting the perfect 'deep coral' color.  

I think it actually matched pretty well!

Here is some of Lisa's beautiful floral work!

Not sure who did the cake....

But Lisa made the table so pretty!

(amazing view!)

Thanks Lisa!  Can't wait to work together again!!

I do!

I love to look through wedding magazines.  Even more than gossipy ones!

They're just so pretty!

Somewhere between the flowers, invitations, jewelry, parties and vacations I always end up inspired by something!!

I've been drooling over the latest Martha Stewart Wedding magazine for the past few weeks....

and couldn't stop thinking about the dresses!!

This one had pockets!!!  Pockets!!  

(couldn't quite figure out how to make a cookie pocket though...)

How glamourous is this!  

I could wear that to drop off the kids at school...right?

Angel Baby

This could be the prettiest baby ever.....

That's my niece Nicole (Nikki), at her baptism 7 years ago.

Where those 7 years went, I have no idea.

Nikki just celebrated her first Holy Communion and I was lucky enough to be able to make her some cookies!!!  (she even asked her Mom if I would make her some-oh the joy!)

Some pretty little first communion dresses because, 

let's be real, that's the best part of the day for any 7 year old princess.

'N' cookies for Miss Nikki.

Rosaries!

(inspired by Sweet Pudgy Panda)

The original cookies have a cross made of fondant that is marbled to look like wood!

I made these pink to be a bit more girlie.

Congratulations Miss Nikki!!!

We love you!

14....really?!

My goodness......that went quickly.

Fourteen years ago today, Joe and I got married in front of 300 of our closest friends and family.
(The mass took an hour and fifteen minutes....we are REALLY married).

The church was beautiful, the party was fabulous.   Guests came from far and wide to help us celebrate and start our life together.

There are so many things you don't know the day you get married...and isn't that the biggest thrill of all?

The possibilities of what is to come.  The things you will see, the places you'll go, the sadness, the celebrations...and you know that everyday this person will be your best friend, biggest cheerleader and steadfast anchor.

So Joe, thank you for the past 14 years (and for all the years to come).  You have been the best partner in life I could ever imagine.

Thank you for our little munchkin.

Thank you for our rock star.

Thank you for date nights....

....and family nights.

Happy Anniversary Joe B!

Love ya somethin' awful....
