A Sweet Life: June 2014
http://barksdalesweetlife.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Family, friends, and even cakes make my life simply sweet. Sunday, June 1, 2014. Well, I didn't get in the May post that I hoped I would…what can I say, but life is a zoo. It's busy, it's often loud and at times I feel like a lion tamer trying to keep my "animals" happy and things in order. The zoo is also really fun. Can never get old, even when you're over thirty. We were looking at some very loud and active monkeys. Flamingos are always cool to look at even though they stink. Feeding the giraffes was ...

A Sweet Life: September 2014
http://barksdalesweetlife.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Family, friends, and even cakes make my life simply sweet. Tuesday, September 9, 2014. Summer's not officially over until I've done a quick recap of my most coveted days of summer, those spent in upstate New York on one of the beautiful Finger Lakes, Seneca Lake. I have no desire to recap our road trip up there. 13 hours in a car with a 20 month old who would only sleep in 20 minute increments (and not many of those). My brother was a saint to go with us. Let's just erase it from our minds. Not a summer ...

A Sweet Life: July 2013
http://barksdalesweetlife.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Family, friends, and even cakes make my life simply sweet. Tuesday, July 23, 2013. I guess I've had too many fun family events lately, making me negligent on posting cake pics, so here are some of my favorites from the past few months. I am entering the short "off-season" between mid-Summer and early Fall, so I have about a month and a half of zero wedding cakes. "Hurray! I love it when a cake design has real meaning! A few touch ups after delivery. A BIG bow on this cake, also inspired by the bride's go...

Family, friends, and even cakes make my life simply sweet. Tuesday, March 4, 2014. Wow Another month has flown by. The month that I used to call my "off" month. February and August are usually the months that I can count on fewer cake orders and more relaxing time for me. Relax is not so much part of my vocabulary anymore (well, it never really was). And this February was a doozy! So, here's some of what I've been up to…. And the most special treat for me was spending some one-on-one time with my favorit...

Family, friends, and even cakes make my life simply sweet. Monday, August 18, 2014. My Princess Turns 4! I have now fully accepted to blog posts just aren't going to get done when I'd like for them to. But better late than never! My angel, Isabelle, turned 4 in July and as usual, I got super excited about planning her birthday party. This year it was all about her calling the shots. She told me she wanted a princess party several months before July, and lucky for me she stuck to the plan. I had the most ...

A Sweet Life: April 2014
http://barksdalesweetlife.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Family, friends, and even cakes make my life simply sweet. Wednesday, April 23, 2014. So I've finally accepted the fact that I'm not going to be a professional blogger anytime soon! I've been trying to find a few hours to get some memories recorded on this blog, so that I won't forget this precious days with my young kids, but the days and weeks just go by and a blog post doesn't get written. Alas, today is a new day and finally a new post with some family updates! 1 Collier started walking. But, Isabell...

Family, friends, and even cakes make my life simply sweet. Tuesday, November 11, 2014. Fall is always the busiest time of year in the cake industry, and it also seems to be in the parenting industry, with the start of a new school year, parties and lots of Fall festivities. Here's a glimpse into our busy, fun filled 2014 Fall…. First day of school photos! Isabelle was super excited, Collier not so much. He cried at drop off for at least the first month and a half! Love my mama's boy. It is so true that t...

Family, friends, and even cakes make my life simply sweet. Saturday, August 31, 2013. It wouldn't be a regular end to August without posting about a hundred photos from my special home away from home, Glenora. You can learn more about this place here. And see pictures from last year here. So, this was Collier's first experience at "The Lake! Safe to say he loves it as much as we do. Little Dora was fascinated by binoculars! The North wind always brings spectacular clouds! Izzy, putting on a show. In the ...

Family, friends, and even cakes make my life simply sweet. Thursday, March 12, 2015. Ah, Christmas of 2014 now just a distance memory.

C) get work done d) see the gingerbread creations and cute kids through photos. Lots of checks off that list! Isabelle and Emmie on Gingerbread Lane. Here seen at Ellie and Brun's h...

A Sweet Life: October 2013
http://barksdalesweetlife.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Family, friends, and even cakes make my life simply sweet. Sunday, October 27, 2013. Love the One You're With. Life has it's twists and turns, it's ups and downs. Was going to eat them alive, and I was feeling like a failure. But the crazy thing was, in that week, all those things happened and I brushed them off my shoulder. I even laughed about them (after cursing). They seemed so trivial in comparison to what my close friend was going through. But, they were. In times like these, I want this to be my t...
