Hi, it's me.

Hey there. Kerstin checking in from cake land. Yes, cake land. Things have gone from busy to CRAZY! Last weekend I did 7 cakes. That's right, 7! 3 of which were for a city comedy event sponsored by the OH Chamber of Commerce. It was a lot of fun and I made some great contacts and networked all night. I was in cake heaven. But as I scroll through my blog lately all I see is cake and not so much of the kiddos. So I thought I'd catch everyone up on what we've been doing. Tatum had her last day of preschool Friday. I can't believe two years is already over from her time there. What a positive experience ECEAP has been for her. Carson is excited because now it's HIS turn to go in the fall. He is thrilled to be able to be a big kid and attend school. Tatum is all signed up for Kindergarten and I'm wondering where the heck time has gone. It seems like just yesterday that I was bringing home my first brand new baby Tatum. She has certainly blossomed into quite the little lady lately and I am so blessed to get to know her. Baby Raegan is doing really well and growing! I am waiting for the day she starts to walk. She already takes a step here and there but hasn't quite figured out how to keep going. Sleep is still an issue with her. I am wondering how life would be with a solid night's sleep. But she does go down early and completes a few really good stretches without waking so I guess all is not lost. Life is just crazy here but I'm so glad that my kiddos are patient and so darn sweet. Tatum and Carson are really growing up and I'm realizing that they won't be little for long. This is bittersweet for me. I am glad that they are coming into their own, but it's hard for me to see my little babies getting big. When we went to my brother-in-law's wedding last week I was reminded of the importance of families and eternal commitments. It was a great experience and I'm so glad to be sharing my life with the such sweet people.

When I Grow Up...

Introducing....my new logo designed by my friend who is a graphic designer. I LOVE IT!!! When I was a kid I wanted to be the following: A principal. A teacher. A News Anchor. A speech writer. A massage therapist. A dental assistant. A waitress in England. Seriously this was my list people. Kind of all over the place. I think that's why the whole college thing was kind of a bust for me. NOTHING and I mean NOTHING interested me when it came to school. I am actually kind of nervous for Tatum to start school because I H-A-T-E-D school. As I became an adult and a mom I admit I kind of coasted on Ned's career and not having to worry about what it was that truly made me happy. But like a lot of things in life we find answers when we really aren't even looking. One cake, let to another. Which led to some cupcakes. Which led to my ridiculous mint frosting to go on said cupcakes. And now things have grown and I've finally found my passion. The thing that I could spend 12 hours a day everyday doing and never grow tired from it. I am so glad that finally....pushing 30 years old...I can finally say what I want to do when I grow up. Better late then never...and the wait was so worth it! I'm pretty sure I would have made a horrible speech writer anyway.
