Swanky lighting. Too rich for our blood. Hope we can sell them!

 

We are in the process of buying our very first home! It's the first floor of a renovated yellow Victorian built in 1926. It's in Salem, MA and is truly double the size of our current space. Who wants to come to our first party?

This is the cake that I made for my younger nephew's 4th birthday, per his request. It is King Boo riding in the Piranha Prowler, from the Wii MarioKart game. He said he "really wanted to challenge me" with his 4th birthday cake. That is a quote.

For the record, the kitchen is not normally this messy. We are renovating the pantry and all items formerly housed in the pantry are now strewn about the kitchen in a slovenly fashion. This project will (must!) be complete before our Australian friends arrive in a few weeks....

 

In the meantime, Mom rocks.

(This is one of the ornaments that was on my "bedroom tree" when I was little, and it is precious. I still hang it every year, so I did perform some emergency superglue surgery. The procedure seems to have gone well.)

Before you buy, get the answers to these key questions: Why to buy? When to buy? How to buy? What to buy?

Even though we won't be in town this holiday season, I couldn't not decorate.

This is part of the cake that I made for my younger nephew's 4th birthday, per his request. He asked for King Boo riding in the Piranha Prowler, from the Wii MarioKart game, and this is the Piranha Prowler. (Well, sort of the Piranha Prowler. As close as I could get using my car-cake pan.)
