Don't Wake The Kids

Number One Secret of SuperMoms

Project Update Monday

January11

I started some new projects this weekend. I have big plans for myself this week.

I was asked to bake a cake for a child’s first birthday. It’s my first attempt at a “professional” cake, but I feel I’m up to the task. I’m doing a trial run tomorrow though just to work out the kinks.

I got all my supplies and I baked the top tier. True to my fashion, I didn’t follow the baking pan instructions to the letter, and got a puffed up cake. So when they said measure out the batter, they meant measure out the batter.

I also started a Valentine’s themed chipboard book. The book is made by BoBunny, which is one of my favorites. I got a white book and a pink book and alternated the pages. I covered them in paper from Hobby Lobby’s “Making Spirits Bright” pack. Although it’s technically Christmas paper, it has pink and red and white and greens and blues. I think it’ll work for Valentine’s Day too. I’m going to call it “Love Is” and take from the famous Bible verse from Corinthians.

I can’t wait to show you my adventures and finished projects from this week. Wish me luck!

Don’t Wake the Kids is a blog featuring Sally and sometimes James, a husband and wife team, talking about their life – the good, the bad, and the ugly.  Together, they will put their life on display, imperfections and all, with the hope that you will find it uplifting, entertaining, and amusing.

About Sally

For as long as I can remember, I wanted to be a mother. God blessed me with three wonderful children, who keep me going. My husband and I have been married for almost 12 years, and he’s my best friend.

I work full-time outside of the home and try to volunteer as much as I can at my children’s school. I love to bake and accidentally found out about cakepops, and I can’t stop making them. I love to scrapbook, when I find the time, but I’m still intimidated by 12×12 layouts. I also like to crochet, but I’ve only made scarves. I use it to pass the time while waiting at the doctor’s office or practice or for meetings to start.

I try to have it all, and I hope my blog lends support to other moms who mess up, want to pull out their hair, but who wouldn’t want to trade their lives for anything – just like me.

People ask me how do I do it all. I am always flattered by this, and my answer is always the same – I don’t sleep. I only get a lot done after everyone falls asleep. James came up with the name of our blog Don’t Wake The Kids because of my nocturnal nature.
