#SentimentalSunday




sen·ti·men·tal
/ˌsen(t)əˈmen(t)l/
adjective
of or prompted by feelings of tenderness, sadness, or nostalgia.


It's my Mama's book originally and starting with my one year old birthday party I grew up with cakes from this book. Not every year but enough that they are weaved into my memories.  

For my first birthday party my Mama made not one but TWO of the cut out cakes to celebrate. 


It's laying flat but if you look closely you can see it's an angel cake. 

And once I got my hands on it I started making cakes from it for my own children and was inspired to try a few other cakes not featured in the book but certainly inspired by it. I also made a cake or two from the book for different baby showers. 

My oldest daughter had a butterfly/spring themed 3rd birthday party.
This cake from the book was perfect! 

My youngest daughter is obsessed with kitties.
For her 4th birthday I made her a kitty cake from the book.

When my oldest turned 5 years old we did a royal themed party.
This cake didn't come from the book but I was inspired by the book to try it. 


My youngest is all about the music.
For one of her birthdays I made the guitar cut out cake. 


My oldest was into art and so for one of her parties we did an art themed party.
It goes without saying the cake had to be an artists' palette!

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.
