I started this site in 2005 after our son, Wyatt, was born with a cleft palate. Over the years the posts became less about Wyatt's condition and more about every day life. Seven years later, its a place to chronicle my journey as an Army Wife and a working mother of two children struggling to find balance in life.

Change of Command
Eric's Troop had a change of command today. I made the cake. Its the first time I have made a helicopter out of fondant or tried to do the digital camoflauge. I've been getting braver with my creations and, luckily, the person that asked me to make it gave me full creative liscence. I try to just say thank you when I get compliments. But I have to tell you something that drives me crazy when I look at this cake - 1.) the icing on the bottom layer was not smooth, 2.) the patches are not aligned 3.) the top of the top layer was messed up from me relocating the helicopter. So there you have it! My confessions!
