Sweet mornings with my sweet boy and a cup of coffee.

Yes all that beautiful hair may be gone but those eyes are for me and he's got me wrapped. He had me wrapped from the moment we laid eyes on each other.

Here is the final product. Perfect? No. But I did my best holding off a three month with a paci so I could try to ice the cake. It's kinda pretty isn't it? I can't wait to surprise my husband with it later. I am sure it will be delicious. Homemade icing is the key, and if you can't make it homemade, then fake it!!!! Fake it til you make it.

Yes, I did use a store bought cream cheese icing, but don't worry, I fixed it up a bit to where it ALMOST tastes homemade. There is nothing like homemade icing, but my mission was to make it as easy as possible this time. I used a little bit of vanilla and powdered sugar to fluff it up a bit. It tastes so good that I could barely keep my finger out of the bowl. I am sure if Blake was old enough, his fingers would be in the bowl too.

Blake and I decided to bake a cake today. Here is the strawberry cake before going into the oven. We just used a simple box recipe from the store. It's much easier that way since most of my time is devoted to my three month old.
