<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As these uneven cake layers tell you, I would not consider myself a serious pastry or cake baker.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am not precise, and generally rush my way through the steps so as to get the finished product in my mouth sooner. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u>Think Kevin<i> from The Office.</i></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All that being said, I have found that my favorite cake personally is not from scratch but store bought boxed cake. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Gasp. I know. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It just tastes better to me, is more moist, and the crumb is something that has yet to be beat, in my book. Duncan Hines Classic White is my all time favorite. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
HOWEVER, you could hand my a $10 bill and a free tub of store bought icing and I still would not frost my boxed cake with it. I can't stand the thought or the taste of the stuff. I also feel like it rips your cake super easily anyways. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will say once you start making your own buttercream it becomes simple. I have stopped measuring when making the basic recipe I use, and just go by texture and sight. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Chocolate Frosting however is another story.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've never quite found a good Cocoa Powder one that I have just loved.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Two weeks ago while flipping through Pinterest looking for a Chocolate Buttercream,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I came across <i>Barefoot in The Kitchen's</i> <a href="https://barefeetinthekitchen.com/fluffy-chocolate-frosting-recipe/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">Chocolate Buttercream Frosting</span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The concept of melting chocolate chips for your cocoa base sounded so good.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Again I am not a perfectionist when it comes to baking and cake decorating but the flavor made up for it entirely. The texture was so creamy, it tipped on the verge of a whipped cream frosting. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did swap out a 1/2 cup of the butter for room temp Cream Cheese just to see.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was out of the World fabulous. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I creamed the butter and cream cheese a ton per her instructions, and at that step alone I had to fight the urge to dip my finger in for a taste. :D Gross haha. </div>

Baby Boy seemed to approve. I shared a slice with some fam and they said it was the best ever. I didn't pry and ask if the meant that as a figure of speech or if they like really, really meant it. :D<br />
I kinda really, really mean it though when I state it IS <i>my</i> new favorite Chocolate Frosting!<br />

This is my second model of this brand. I loved the first model and it packed a great punch for such a budget friendly gadget. I mistakingly thought I would replace it with a Nespresso, and while i like my nespresso it is not the same as a good ole fashion shot of creamy expresso.<br />
So when I received Christmas money from the Hubbs I righted my wrong and bought the newer version of this model <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CTY9BFG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_detailpage_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1">De'Longhi</a><br />

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">When buying my first expresso maker I put at least a month of research into which brand I wanted. I looked through reviews, watched </span>videos, flipped through pictures. I settled on the Delonghi because of the price and the amazing reviews. Also since this was my first expresso maker I figured if it was a flop and not something I was into I wouldn't be out much cash. I ended up getting pretty into making a good pull and trying out all the drinks. </span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">I thought I would share some of information with you in case you were thinking of buying one for your home. While its not something I use daily, I do get tons of use out of it and make Lattes or Iced Lattes 4-5 times a week. It makes such a great ha-time indulgence.*cough: Pick-Me-Up* My only complain so far with the newer model is the steam wand. The old model had a dial that gave better control of the amount of steam being released. The newer model basically has a med high setting and high setting. Not a deal breaker but also a bummer.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Here is my favorite <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Espresso-Arabica-Signature-Pressurized-Preparations/dp/B00DTR9R9Q/ref=sr_1_31_sspa?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1546980283&sr=1-31-spons&keywords=expresso%2Bgrounds&th=1" target="_blank">Expresso Grounds</a> *Expresso and Coffee grounds will be different in darkness and the actual grind. Expresso grinds are ground more fine.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">This is my all time favorite <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075CD29X2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">syrup brand</a>. It makes me more comfortable to know that the ingredients are real and simple. The flavor is the best also. My husband who is not interested in all natural foods or "health stuff" haha notices a difference when we run out and I switch to the major coffee chains brand (starts with Star haha), he says he has to use more to get the flavor he likes. </span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">I used this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3QQyT0ueDg" target="_blank">TUTORIAL</a> from a gentleman to teach me how to run my machine and such. I was starting from scratch and reading through a manual is not my thing. He breaks down every thing quickly and explains things well. Plus if you don't think this old man is adorable than we can't be friends. :D</span><br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I finally jumped on the<span style="font-size: large;"> <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/187902112/hummingbird-dress-girls-summer-dress-pdf?ref=shop_home_active_8bandwagon">Hummingbird</a> </span>bandwagon. She was having a 50% off</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
sale so I basically was forced to. Right? Thats how 50% off sales go?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Even though my daughter lately has not been digging what I make her I thought I </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
would just go for it. She always likes dresses. Well mostly always.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My only complaint is the bodice is a little revealing, I think shortening the straps a </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
hair will remedy that though.<br />
Photos did not turn out the most crisp this day but no body is perfect I guess and the sun sometimes hides.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*note; I lengthened the dress since it is winter. When the weather </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
warms up ill raise it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cannot wait to make a new one and tweak it by widening the straps and adding flutter sleeves.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Every year its the same story. I search for hours for a new one piece. Well almost every year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last year I bought a Rey Swimwear one I had been wanting for like two years, only to be able to wear it twice. Why only twice? It was stolen. :'( I'm so over it though, can't you tell?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know I'm not the only one who has trouble finding a swimsuit let alone one they feel covered and comfortable in so I'm sharing my list of cuties I've come across.</div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I recently have started attending MOPS</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">and have really enjoyed it. A friend I recently made from there, named</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Jessica, was talking about this recipe. She also spoke a little bit about her husbands ancestry </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">and needless to say I was rather enthralled. I also just had to make these cookies. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">These cookies were her Great Grandmother-in-laws recipe.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I just love things with a little history. Not too long ago Jessica was looking through a book of her husbands genealogy and noticed that down the line one of the Great Great Great(?) Grandparents, when coming over from Germany started a candy store. Jessica apparently couldn't help but giggle because they are all wonderful bakers with a bit of a sweet tooth. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">1) ITS 2 Cups Sugar NOT 2 cups of SUGAR Cookies haha</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">2) This recipe makes around 6 dozen cookies so I cut when making I </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">cut in half</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">3) The flour you end up adding is around 6 cups</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">4) Feel free to sour your heavy cream yourself with mixing 1 TBL of vinegar to your cream, let sit for 15 minutes</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">5) mix your softened butter and sugar first for one minute or two (AKA cream your butter and sugar), then add wet ingredients, lastly mix dry ingredients separately then add little by little to wet ingredients in stand mixer</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">6) you must chill your dough in the fridge for 4-6 hours or overnight to make rolling easier</span></div>

Found and marked our "Studs" aka wood boards that run vertically in your walls, usually around every 16".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then Drilled a hole in both. Then placed a larger bit on the drill and drilled again, until reaching the size of the "lag bolts" we screwed into the wall that hold up the shelf.</div>

We then got the longest lag bolts we could find, 6", and chopped the head of the bolt off with a grinder. Install into the stud with a pair of pliers or vise-grips. Try to get the bolts as level and straight as you can to make sliding the shelf on as easy as possible.</div>

I'm going to keep this pretty short and sweet so as not to gush but I seriously love this dress!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It came out at the perfect time of year too. The length is perfect for this cooler weather and still nice enough for church or just hanging around.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really would like to see this fancied up for Christmas, made with silk. Ahhhh</div>

So I have been baking bread now for 7 years now and this is <a href="http://www.thebakerupstairs.com/2012/09/french-bread.html">The Best
Recipe Yet</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The kneading process in this one has to be what makes the difference.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
My husband keeps complimenting me on it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The soft texture is so beautiful haha</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
My son is sick today so during the last 10 minute rest I let it rest for more like 30 minutes</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I also cut the recipe in half and just made one loaf.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Happy baking</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

My darling <span style="background-color: white; color: #545454; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 18px;"> </span><a href="http://pinsneedleskids.blogspot.com/2011/06/alot-of-happy-little-bit-of-sad.html">daughter</a>,<br />
Every year I am one year closer to seeing your sweet face. I know you existed. No one can convince me otherwise. No one else's agendas, no political footing, no one can take the knowledge of you away. No one else's acknowledgment of you or ignoring of you makes you go away.<br />
You were a baby, my sweet baby. You grew in my belly until you were a small bump.<br />
For 12 weeks your little body formed and your soul was inside of me.<br />
I never enjoyed being used so much. :)<br />
Your soul.<br />
That so nice to type sweetie.<br />
One day, oh darling, one sweet day we will meet face to face inside Heavens gates.<br />
I know you are waiting for me and I am so grateful to God that Heavens time is not Earths time.<br />
I'll see you soon.<br />

A sweet friend just had a baby girl. I know, I know, wheres' the pink?</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Isn't pink just so obvious?</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
I went a different route with this one. I still really feel like its feminine with all the flowers and the huge flowers that are quilted on.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a pretty quick quilt (of my own design) but don't tell my procrastination that.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not sure what it is with quilts but after I cut the pieces out I run out of steam and the piles just sorta sit there for a month or five. Haha </div>

Here is a list of bookmarked passages I made the last few months of my pregnancy. These are the verses that spoke to me at the time. I encourage you to search the word yourself and bookmark the ones that stir your heart. I really like my Bible app because you can label your bookmarks and store them together which was perfect for looking through during labor. I specifically spoke out the first one during labor and it really gave me such a peace picturing Jesus holding me close to his heart.<br />
I hope this list gives you a head start or shows you some you may have not seen before.<br />
