Hello Everyone! It's been at least 3 months since I've posted and as I've stated before, I will try to post more often as time permits. After the holidays have gone and the new year has begun to settle in, there are many things that I had to analyze. The new year always brings new opportunities and adventures and sometimes the end of certain things. My motto for this year and every year will be if it's not bringing a blessing or positivity to my life; I don't need it. That being said, I re-evaluated some things and decided some had to be let go. My focus is to excel in every area of my life. I will not let negativity hinder me from what I want. I know those are the things that make you stronger and give you the power to push forward. I have since begun taking classes towards finishing up my degree and I feel really good about that. Work has become extremely stressful and I have been asking God to help me with that. Home life is well... home life LOL! That can be managed as well but what I try to do through all of this is to see the good in it. We each have been put on earth for a purpose. God only knows our future and it always seems brighter when we look to Him. I will be posting pics in my next posting of some Valentine's treats Im making. I also finally found THE perfect chocolate cake recipe from scratch. I have not had luck with any in recent months. My husband and kids always said there was something "missing" in the cakes I made from scratch LOL.. and now they've certified this one as being the one. Still on the search for a perfect yellow cake, but I'll take the chocolate for now as that's a fav around her anyway. I used my own homemade cream cheese icing; no store bought! I'll post the link below to the cake recipe. Let me know how it worked for you!
