All blogged down with all these great blogs!

I have spent the majority of my day discovering blogs. It's like a never-ending process because I find a blog I love and then notice all the blogs they love, so I go to those and see all the blogs that THEY love. Whew! I think I had about 50 tabs open in one session.

Anyway,

in the midst of my discovering, I came across Simply Handmade by Paige. I dig this girl's style! Also, she is having a GIVEAWAY for a gift certificate towards a bag made by Aubrey Plays. The bags are simply adorable! If you have a minute or two - check them out! Even if I don't win this giveaway, I'm pretty sure I will be toting one of these bags pretty soon!

People always tell me how amazingly delicious my cakes are, so why bother making them from scratch? Also, I don't have to wonder how they will turn out because everything is so consistent. My favorite brand is Betty Crocker and I love the French and Golden Vanilla the best. Yummm You might not be able to tell in this picture, but I always line the bottom of the pan with wax paper. If you don't do this, DO IT! I made cakes for a year or two before I realized how wonderful this step is! Now I never have a cake stuck in the pan! Also contributing to my non-stick success is THIS stuff. I spr...

The smile I didn't want, but needed

While Nev and I were out and about today, I decided to make a quick stop to Walmart on the way home. I decided to wear her throughout the store since she just can't quite sit up in the cart yet. A few people complimented her or my wrap as we walked through the store. One woman stopped me to ask me how I made something to wrap her like that. I explained that I bought the wrap, but gave a quick one-liner about baby wearing. English was not her first language, and I don't understand thick accents very well, so it was taking all of my concentration to have a conversation with her. She asked me several questions about wrapping. About a minute in, though, she abruptly changed the subject to why she *really* stopped to talk to me. A church group in which she is involved has started a Bible study and she was out to recruit members. She asked where I go to church and I told her. I was in a part of town very far from my house and much farthe...
