update on my life…

kustomized — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 17:33:49 +0000

Not sure if anyone out there actually reads this or not.. but I thought I should update it anyways.. I have a few different catagories to update you on!

renos: The house is just about complete!! we are at the finishing trim and painting it stage. We still have our roof to do, but that will come sometime this summer we hope!

kitchen and new floors!

Me: I havent been doing much for pictures lately.. just seems that I dont have the time, and the need for my services is no longer out there?! Though, I havent really been putting myself out there to make people think they need my services! hehe.. oh well…

My baking has also come to a standstill for now, though, yet again, I havent really been advertising myself a whole lot! please order a cake… please?!

My newest thing is that I am joining a Roller Derby team. Yup, you read right.. Roller Derby. I have joined the Kamloops ‘School of Hard Knocks’ Roller Derby team. I will be -hopefully, as long as it gets accepted- going by the handle ‘Roxy Rolla’. For those of you that know me at all, you will understand the name in that I am a little bit, maybe kinda weirdly obsessed with Roxy clothing! I am ordering my skates and gear today from rollergirl.ca. I cant wait to attend my first practice on wednesday and get my butt whooped by our coach Mike.

How awesome is that!!

Kids: My kids are great! In fact, they are such good kids that I keep thinking I could possible make a profit off them if I can get them into the right black market! hehehe.. this is a joke. I dont want to sell my kids! I love them to bits, and really, they are great kids.. we just need to get through the summer holiday and back into school!

Thanks to all that DO read this and stay tuned for more to come in the future.. I will be updating you on my roller girl madness!!

So I made these little mini cuppies for a little girls birthday.. along with a cake, but im not really happy with how it turned out, so im not posting it! These little mini’s were a hit though.. and were REALLY easy to make…

-belated- Mothers Day Cake

kustomized — Mon, 25 May 2009 16:12:38 +0000

My mom finally came through town so I made her a belated mothers day cake.. It turned out AWESOME! if I do say so myself!!

The cake is a black chocolate cake (my grandmothers recipe) with chocolate icing between the layers and covering the outside, with a layer of marshmallow fondant covering it. I made the details out of fondant and brushed them with pearl dust to give them some shimmer. My mom loved it, and it tasted just like gramma used to make!!

birthday cake and new cake stands…

Great May Long Weekend!

kustomized — Tue, 19 May 2009 04:16:18 +0000

We had planned out a long weekend full of renos and getting stuff done.. and it sorta happened!! Saturday we were both kinda sick so we didnt get much done, but had a nice day of hanging out with the kids and did a bit of cleaning. We also sent Tye off with Grandma and Grandpa to go camping with his cousins for 2 nights. We missed him A LOT, but did have a nice quiet weekend with just Norah to bug us. Sunday we Rob spent the day at his brothers house putting the pool liner in his new pool,

while Norah and I took our neice to the mall to hang out and pick out some new summer clothes. It was nice to have some girl time!

And today Rob and his brother and dad put up the siding on one side of the house.. it was so exciting to see progress finally starting!! YAH!! it looks really good and we’re really happy with the color we picked out.

Looking for a dress…

kustomized — Fri, 15 May 2009 16:17:36 +0000

I am *hopefully* going to be going to my cousins wedding this summer back in my hometown, and am in the midst of finding something to wear. I’m wanting something a little different, not like the typical ‘smart set’ or ‘le chateau’ dress style that everyone always has..

So I found a website through my hubbies fav magazine.. Car Kulture Deluxe.. called Stop Staring. Here are a few of my favorites…

If anyone out there knows of any neat websites with some different styles.. let me know!

I CAN’T BELIEVE HELEN WON!!

kustomized — Wed, 13 May 2009 15:30:53 +0000

We have been avid biggest loser watchers this season and have been cheering for Tara ever since Kristin got booted.. the finale was on last night, and who takes the cake?!?! HELEN! what?! the 48 year old wall flower power house! She beat Tara by a meesly 1.75%! what a kick in the pants for Tara.. the girl that never once fell below the yellow line, and won I think over half of the challenges!

Well.. i’m happy for you Helen, way to go! you lost a crazy amount of weight and look amazing..

Mother’s Day..

kustomized — Tue, 12 May 2009 18:06:35 +0000

Well.. since it was just mother’s day on sunday, I thought I should add some cake pictures and show you the cupcakes I made for my mom-in-law. Don’t worry, I am making something special for my own mom too.. i’m just waiting till she comes through Kamloops next week (I will add the pictures then!)

first picture…
