My New Kitchen Table!

As you all know, I have been selling cakes for about 3 weeks now. I had NO counter space or table to begin with. I managed to get Mom's old table from the trailer from about 13 years ago but all of the chairs had been broken in some way.... Needless to say, It was hard decorating the sides of the cakes on my knees!!! I continued to seach for a table. I was at the point to where I didn't care what I got, as long as it had chairs!! So yesterday Mom said to me that one of her Co-workers had a table for sale for 60$. My first question was "DOES THAT COME WITH CHAIRS?". Mom said yes and that it was sitting on the lady's front porch. I wasn't expecting to see what I saw! It was a nice table! Solid wood with 2 leafs and all 4 chairs in good condition!! So this evening Pawpaw and I went and got it. It looks so very good in my kitchen!!! I decided to put the leafs in too!!! I had to buy a table cloth bc of some scratches I need to repair, but it would have looked fine with out it. But now I have a nice Harvest looking table and chair set that I am proud of!!! THAT I GOT FOR ONLY 60 DOLLARS!!!!







Jacob Eating his Supper at our new table!!!!


I am Very excited to begin working on my iCarly Cake for Friday!!!

Jacob and His New Bestfriend....

Ever since Jacob has been on solid/table food, he has battled with constipation... I know Odd I say this on a blog but I promise I have a point!

So about a month or so ago I was browsing through the toddler drinks at Wal Mart and I saw some PediaSure With Fiber! So I got it. But the main thing was, Will he drink it? I gave it to him with high hope and he loved it! In fact he prefers it over juice!


So when he started prefering it over juice, I decided to do a little research!!

• It's a complete balanced nutrition, has protein and 25 essential vitamins and minerals, has a blend of prebiotics and antioxidants to help support the immune system and it says that it's perfect for kids on the go!!!

Good thing about him liking it so much is that his weight has always been around 50 percentile and he eats like a little bird!!!

Some more things you might want to know....


Immune Support for Your Picky Eater

About 70% of your child’s immune system is found in the digestive tract. So developing a stronger immune system starts with maintaining a healthy digestive system. Children who don’t eat fruits and vegetables might not be getting the vitamins and minerals needed to support their immune system. PediaSure has a blend of prebiotics and antioxidants† designed to support digestive tract health and help strengthen your child’s immune system.
Prebiotics stimulate the growth of "good" bacteria in the digestive system, which helps support your child’s immune system.
Antioxidants such as vitamins C & E and selenium can help to prevent and repair cell damage from free radicals.


On the Pediasure website I also found some Yummy looking Recipes for our Children who never stop!
http://pediasure.com/pdf/PediaSure-Recipes.pdf

I hope you learned as much as I did while researching Pediasure. I was just amazed when jacob took to loving this healthy drink!! Only flavors we've tried is Vanilla and Chocolate... He loves the chocoate as much, if not more than Vanilla!!!

Thanks!

So I just remembered and Googled it!!!

When Jacob and I went to Nebraska to see Charity, David and Grace for Graces 1st birthday, I tasted a pumpkin cake for the first time in my life. I LOVED IT!!! And ever since then I have wanted to bake one! I think it was yesterday when thought about it. So I googled the recipe and chose the one that looked like it just might match the awesome cake I tasted then!!!! Needless to say, IT WAS and IT MELTED IN MY MOUTH!!! It was all made from scratch and so wonderful!!! So I HAD to take pictures. Sadly, the pictures do not do it's justice!
DELISH!!!!
