Don't Wake The Kids

Number One Secret of SuperMoms

Project Update Monday

February1

Warning! Cakepop cuteness. Don’t view on an empty stomach.

Also, I cleaned out a drawer in my kitchen, and I have awesome news to share!

A friend ordered some cakepops for her friend’s wedding shower on Saturday. I had spotted a fleur-de-lis candy mold at the party supply store, and now I had a great reason to buy it. I hope the party was fun!

FlyLady uses the 15-minute principle, and I decided to implement it on my drawer full of Box Tops I’ve been saving for the kids’ school. I’ve probably saved them up for over a year. So I set my timer for 15 minutes and went after it. OK it took more than 15 minutes, more like 45, but once I got started I just had to finish.

Finally, it’s not a project as much as it is the beginning of a multitude of ones.

    Wow, so pretty! I bet they loved them!

    That was quite a collection of box tops….I’m guessing you had about 205.

    Yeah, you got a Cricut, can’t wait to see what you create with it!

    Are you going to the all-day crop on the 20th? I think I can make it now, the class I had is cancelled.

    Such a beautiful new blog! And lovely, yummy cakepops. I guess you cut about 110. What is an all day crop?

    You’re so sweet!

    A crop is equivalent to a quilting bee but for scrapbooking. The store provides a space, and you bring all your stuff to make scrapbook pages. You have access to their tools as well like die-cut machines, idea books, Cricut, and computer. And of course you can buy paper, embellishments, and other supplies.

    It’s super fun! The all-day crop runs from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., but it goes by so fast. You should come too.

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.
