My first ever blog reader and commenter was my mother, who is awesome for it!
My mother read that blog post and decided to make it a wish list. Last month I found a box on my front porch with the return address of my mommy. Inside the box I found a grab bag of awesome, including some of the cake pans I listed here as being my favorites.
The Peace of Cake pan AND the TeaCupCake liners! I am one lucky daughter and blogger! It's hard on both my mother and me to live so far apart. We both miss out on all sorts of mother-daughter opportunities with all those miles in between us. But packages like this one reminds me that she's still my best friend, even if we only see each other in person a few times a year.
But wait - there's more!
My man friend travels a lot for work and this last trip was one full month in California - no weekends home this time. He was sweet enough to bring me to him over Valentines Day (when I wore that awesome felt conversation heart hair piece I made, seen here) and romance the crap out of me. While we were romancing, we ate at this AWESOME restaurant, The Madonna Inn, where I ate way too much delicious food and fell in love with the novelty of the place. Fast forward three weeks, my sweetheart is preparing to come home to my loving arms and thinks he would like to see me smile. This is what he brings me:
Chocolates from The Madonna Inn that look like a farmyard!
The ladybug was raspberry, the pig was toffee and the cow was chocolate.
The time apart is hard, but he sure does know how to make the best of our time together! We tried really hard to make those treats last all weekend but we couldn't let them survive past Saturday.
The distance between me and my family AND my sweetheart can be hard, but I think we make the best of it. How do you deal with time apart from your favorite people?
