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.

    Happy Blogoversary!

    My goal for this year is to master covering cakes with fondant. Oh! And making perfect fondant bows. =)

    This is a wonderful time for me to set new goals for the upcoming year. July 24th will begin my 50th year. I'm on the cusp of 49 and my youngest will be leaving home for college in August. My goal for the upcoming goal is to write a novel that has been brewing in my brain and soul for about 5 years. It seems like a good way to celebrate the beginning of the second half of my life.

    Fun stuff! My goal this year is to get off unemployment, and hopefully find a job I love in the process.

  8. Lopez Family says:

    My goal this year is to have more fun with my little darlings. Getting too caught up with things I don't really have to do burdens my family and doesn't allow me to be silly with the kids. Congrats to you!

    What an exciting give away!
    My goal this year is to be the best wife and mom that I can be. I know it's not original, but that's the desire of my heart.
