She’s 18!

She’s 18!

Birthdays are a big deal. They just are! Celebrating the day someone was born is always a cause for celebration and homemade cake, pancakes, and dinner.

My babes always get to choose what they want to eat and do the entire day of their birthday. I love to decorate the night before while they are already in bed so when they come down in the morning, they know without a doubt, they matter.

This recipe was incredibly moist and tasty. The cake lasted barely two days because it was that good.

Mama’s celebrate your kiddos. They just grow way too fast. You blink and they are taller than you are. You won’t regret investing all this special time into them.

Live Well and Celebrate You!

Many people think that what’s written in the Bible has mostly to do with getting people into heaven, getting right with God, saving their eternal souls. It does have to do with that, of course, but not mostly. It is equally concerned with living on […]
