Take That, Uncle Sam!

Yup, I turned 31 on Tax Day. The water's fine; hop right in.

The extra-fine part, though, was the love of my oldest daughter, both her love for me and her love of baking.




She made a two-layer chocolate cake from scratch (with some brow furrows along the way), popped the layers out of the pans, filled them with pudding, made homemade peppermint buttercream frosting, and, to top it off, frosted a cake by herself for THE VERY FIRST TIME.

I love the flour on her nose.

  1. I love these pictures, and, I already said it in a different comment, but I'm so amazed at her doing all of that! That sounds like a complicated enough cake for a much older much bigger kid . . . like say, me. :P

  2. It's obvious she is imitating the love, affection, and giving that she receives! What a sweet daughter!

  5. It's amazing kids like your daughters, who are allowed the freedom to do things that make me lament the constant coddling of the children I nannied.
