Don't Wake The Kids

Number One Secret of SuperMoms

Project Update Monday

February15
008 A couple weeks ago, I hosted my very first giveaway of a dozen Valentine cakepops. I made them out of red velvet cake and creamy vanilla icing. Then I coated them in red candy coating and constructed flowers out of Valentine Candy Corn and M&Ms.
011 Then I had to decide how to deliver them. I had to decide how to package them, which is a constant dilemma for me. I just so happened to have a pail I bought months ago to scrapbook with. It’ll be perfect!
017 I think it came out nicely. Plus it gave me a chance to finally use the Cricut – besides cutting out animals for my kids. I was so happy to give it a good home.
Last week, I took Diva and Manchild to paint pottery. This week, I got to pick up our finished pieces.
040 Diva painted a mug. She’s ready for some hot chocolate.
038 Manchild painted a castle box. I’m hoping he doesn’t break it too soon.
034 And I painted a cupcake plate. It’s going to be perfect to serve a cupcake.
028 Finally, James gave me a great Valentine’s Day present. A giant cupcake cake mold and a book about craft blogging. I can’t wait to read it. I promise I’ll share the tips I learn.
Here’s to another great week!

    The link didn’t work, but I found you anyway. I am so excited to be introduced to a new blog! I also want to know all about that book. :-)
    Thank you for linking up with Try and Tell. I really appreciate it.

    Thanks for finding me! Sorry it was a little work. I’ll keep you posted on the book. It’s titled “Blogging for Bliss” by Tara Frey.

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.
