This blog chronicles my life as a wife, mom, dental hygienist, photographer, and smart aleck. I make my home in Washington State. My favorite things are laughing, eating good food, taking pictures, cake decorating, blogging, and serving dental missions in third world countries. I stick my foot in my mouth so often we'll go ahead and call that a favorite hobby, too. I like to think of my blog readers as friends I invite into my home. So welcome. Come on in.

Starry Night Cake
While the rest of America got up this morning and started in on their turkeys, I made a birthday cake.
I have wanted to make a Starry Night cake (you know, Van Gogh) for a long time now but haven't had an excuse. Then the other day when my sister told me we'd be celebrating TJ's (my bro-in-law) birthday on Thanksgiving, since we'd all be together. I instantly volunteered to make his cake, of course. Now I had a chance to put my idea into motion.
I got up early and got busy. Dale snapped this picture of me while I decorated...I am still in my pajamas.
And here is the finished product. I decided to be nice and take a shower and put myself together.
