Baby Shower Gifts

When I was pregnant with my first child, Liam, it was a very exciting time when it came to planning the baby shower. Going to a store and walking around with a price scanner and picking one of these and one of those was so much fun. However, when it came down to opening gifts at the shower the best gifts I received were not gift that were listed on my registry. Unique or homemade gifts are always the best to receive.

You can find just the right gift here at My Mommys Shop.
Remember, any personalizing is always FREE!!

Kid Birthday Cake Ideas! - Continued

As promised here is my latest cake invention. My son and nephew (joint B-day party, always nice to share expenses!) love Lego's and wanted a cake to look like a Lego tower.

 I am not super happy with the outcome, although I am hard on myself. I really wanted it to be a lot cleaner, but no one in my family likes fondant icing, so I used good old butter cream. Around the bottom of the cakes I put Lego candies, I found at a  not-so-local candy store. It was worth the drive, the kids loved them. The boys were very happy with their cakes. They were even happier decorating the cake, I let them put the Lego guys on!

Kid Birthday Cake Ideas!

I love to cook and bake. I wanted to share some kid birthday cake ideas with you.

I ask my children, and nieces and nephews, what they want for their cake and go from there. Over the last couple of years I have made some crazy cakes, and with them made myself a little crazy in the process. I tend to be a perfectionist. This is not a good quality to have when you are not a trained baker trying to make a stand out birthday cake! Here are some pics of my creations.

Candy Land Cake

I made this cake for Liam's 4th birthday. I used the Candy Land game board as a guide.

Lego Pirate Ship Cake!

This is by far my favorite cake I have ever made. It was for Liam's 5th birthday and my nephew, Reid, 7th birthday. The pirate Lego pieces are actually my husband's. He kept a lot of his childhood toys.

To be honest, I can not take full credit for this cake. I baked, molded and frosted the cakes, but Spencer, my husband, did most of the decorating. I must say he did an awesome job.

Castle Cake

This cake was for Shelby's 4th birthday and Ian's 1st birthday. We do a lot of joint parties! Shelby wanted a castle, so I decorated half for a girl and the other half for a boy. Not my best creation. I was running out of time, so I really rushed this one. If you can see in the background, there are pots full of flower candies that I made as favors for this party.

These pictures were taken at about 2 am. Clean-up had not taken place yet!!

Double Rainbow

This cake was for my nieces 8th grade graduation. When I asked her what she wanted, she said a double rainbow. There is this song and video on YouTube about a double rainbow. I guess it is really popular with the young folk. The rainbows are Skittles I attached with royal icing. It was a big hit.

I have another cake I will be posting soon. The party is in two days and I haven't started anything yet! Yikes I better get going!

Summer Fun

Summer is officially in full swing. The kids are getting antsy and I am counting down the days until school starts.

All joking aside, summer is a special time of the year when you can really spend some quality time with your children. One of our favorite things to do as a family is to go on a picnic. You don’t have to go far. Liam and Shelby had a picnic lunch in our backyard yesterday, and they thought it was the coolest thing.

I helped pack their lunch, in a picnic basket of course. They had everything they needed; good food, a blanket, a basket and an adventure in their mind.

My Little Entrepreneurs

I guess running your own business runs in my family’s blood. The other night my eldest son, Liam 5 and my daughter, Shelby 4 where playing quietly together in the basement. I usually worry when they are playing quietly, but I could hear them talking. They weren’t fighting so I let them be. About an hour later I was greeted by a very enthusiastic “Mom you have to come see what we did!” As I headed downstairs I was a little worried as to what I was going to find. What I did find I never expected.

My children made a store; well actually it was more like restaurant.  They had a store front, sitting area and a TV lounge. They moved almost every item we have in our basement to create this space, which took up the majority of the basement. I couldn’t believe it. Liam told me, “this is where you give me your money and I will give you your food.”

I couldn’t help but giggle to myself. They worked so hard on this.  I love their enthusiasm and entrepreneur spirits.
