Wow, one year… one whole year I have been writing this blog! As I sit here typing, I am swaying in my chair and singing the lyrics to the 1990′s jam, “It’s Our Anniversary” by Tony! Toni! Toné!
However, I am replacing the word anniversary with blogoversary, because I am cool like that! It’s a damn good thing no one can see or hear me because I way waaay off key and the song in this context makes absolutely no sense!
For my blogoversary, I made The Pioneer Woman’s Italian Cream Cake, and let me tell you – this cake is fabulous!
If you follow me on twitter, you may remember my tweet about having a spoonful of this frosting for breakfast yesterday morning. I did omit the walnuts because Brian is allergic. Instead, I topping the cake with toasted coconut, and it is FAB!
For my blogoversary I wanted to put together a giveaway that would be comprised of some of my favorite things.

As an Italian, I've made only one version of this cake and I must say that yours looks magnificent. I must try this. I am glad to have found your blog and added you to my fave blog list and started following you on twitter. Stop by to chat sometime too if you have time. Ciao! Roz (bella)
I hope I win, I could really use all those delicious cake baking supplies!
My goal for this year is to be a better mommy blogger, as I see blogging as the new scrapbooking. And to promote and sell from my etsy shop.

Yummy! My goal for the next year is to become debt free! oh, and to grew my own herbs (even though I'm not anywhere close to having a 'green' thumb).
Happy Anniversary!
