Cake Decorating Videos
I’ve spent the last couple days obsessed with cake decorating videos. So far, my favs are the ones with tons of flowers on top. I also love the ones with the decorative edges.

The Scary First Time
The first time I attended a writing group, my voice shook. I was nervous. I had no idea how to gauge myself as a writer. I also had been home for a while so I wasn’t as social at that time in my life. Let me tell you, I was scared. I was scared toContinue reading “The Scary First Time”
