Motherhood and Ministry
It’s pretty common these days for people to stay in an Airbnb for vacation or travel but would you personally rent your own home out on Airbnb? Well, we do and I share some of the reasons why over at the Portland Mom’s Blog today. I’d love to hear your thoughts after you read it.
Some days are just rough as a mom. Maybe you know what I’m talking about. Sometimes I’m all graced out by bedtime and barely keeping it together which makes singing really hard. Especially singing Amazing grace, because it just hits all the feels.
Here’s a post about one of those days. I wrote it a while back for the Portland Moms Blog and forgot to share it here. It’s still one of my favorite posts because it really was a night where signing was clearly not for my son, and all for me, whether I wanted it that way or not.
I grew up with a mom who was THE BEST at making cakes. I had no idea those skills would be so awesome to have one day as a mom. My mom also always threw us a fun party for our birthday, made us feel loved and celebrated and so I carry on the tradition in our household. Birthdays and holidays are really important to me.
Over the years I’ve taken it down a notch in the party department because life is full and Pinterest parties are not what it’s all about. However, I’ll always do my best to have a fabulous and delicious cake to feed the crowd. I’m a total cake snob (thanks to my mom always making the best cakes) and there is a BIG secret to getting a moist cake. And please know, I hate that word and it should never be used for anything besides describing a cake. Can I get an Amen to that?! Whew, okay, I just had to say that before I could move on.
If you want to know what the secret is to making the perfect cake with some tips on how to decorate it as well then head on over to the Portland Moms Blog to read my post find out how.
And just for fun, here are some of the cakes that I’ve done in the past.
