Bake Me A Wish Cake

Since my husband has been away in Bermuda I have felt bad when it comes to holidays and birthdays. I am not there to give him special things. I just found out about this company that ships cakes! Bake Me A Wish makes birthday and special occasion cakes and ships them for you. I definitely am going to use them for my next special occasion. Also 5% of the cake order goes to the soldiers overseas. What a great cause. Mom Start is having a giveaway and you can win one of these yummy cakes. Check it out here.

My First Bike what I remember

I remember getting my first bike sometime around the age of 7 or 8. I remember it being a blue 2 wheeler. My best recollection was that I began learning how to ride it inside the house before I actually tried it in the driveway. I also remember those training wheels. I can still visualize the bike tipping side to side with those training wheels on. I believe it was my mother who then later ran next to me and let me go on my own. We lived on a fairly long side street with little traffic and we had a traffic circle in the front of our house. I would ride around and around and then down the driveway. Riding bikes was one of our favorite things to do. It is ashame that kids now spend more time indoors and do not enjoy the simple things that we did long ago. Well there is a bike that I wish was around in those days and it is called a balance bike. What a great way to learn for a small child. If you want to learn more about it or even win one you can learn more about it here. They even have a youtube video that shows it in action. My granddaughter would love it!
