First- to close out March, I thought I'd share a picture of the birthday cake I made Shira. I made my grandmother's chocolate pound cake recipe (FROM SCRATCH) and decorated it with flowers I learned how to make in the cake decorating classes I've taken. I do believe that is the impression of Shira's finger in the side...she really likes the icing!
We celebrated with dinner at Mexicali Blues and had lots of fun.
There's a lot to look forward to in April...everything seems to come back to life! Most importantly- Baseball season begins! Hey, I warned y'all to brace yourself! You know where I'll be Sunday evening- Opening night- Braves vs. Phillies, so please do not disturb. I am not kidding.
Earth Day is also coming up later this month on April 22nd. I know, I know, some people get REALLY tired of hearing the Go Green stuff. But are you really going to argue that it's not important to be more aware of how we're treating our beautiful earth? We can all so something to decrease the waste we create and the resources we use. I heard a stat this morning that if everyone on earth used as much resources as Americans do, it would take 4 earths to provide for everyone! I've tried over the last few years to be more aware and take some small steps. I dream of the day I can have my own rain barrel in my yard, composting system, and own garden. But I know those aren't things I can realistically do right now, especially since I'm a renter and all. So I stick to the small things like recycling everything we can, turning out lights, unplugging things not in use, and using the reusable bags at the grocery store.
Also- have you seen the ads for Disney's new movie called Earth? It's coming out on Earth Day. The directors are from the Planet Earth team- which I LOVE. This will also be the first film in the new Disney Nature series- so there's more to come!
Happy Friday to everyone!
Great job on the cake! Now...will you please come to Anderson and make me one now? I will make a point to be obnoxious and call you over and over just to disturb your baseball watching time! :) Love ya! -EH
ReplyDeleteHow about the weather today? Back and forth! I hate it. I just want the sun and warmth!
ReplyDeleteThe cake it so pretty! You really do have a talent.
You will be proud of us - we have started recycling plastic. Bob accumulated a whole bin of Diet Coke bottles in 4 days! OH MY we have been responsible for a lot of Non-green activity! We in the south are really behind in this area - come to think of it we in South Carolina are really behind in a lot of areas! :(
ReplyDeletelove you bunches! mama
EH- you weren't lying about trying to sabotage my baseball watching! JK! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Stefanie! Now that I got a new camera, I hope to share more of my cake creations.
Mama- Soooo glad y'all started recycling! Next- try all the newspapers, cardboard, and aluminum cans.
