It's OK Not To Be Perfect

I'm laughing hysterically as I create this post. Why? Because I poured hours and love into planning and preparing this birthday cake for one of my best friends and it was a disaster. I almost couldn't bring myself to post this. See I had this vision. I found this amazing piano cake on Pinterest I was sure I could replicate and couldn't wait to see the surprised look on the birthday girls face as I presented this remarkable mind-blowing cake. Well that didn't happen. Not even close. The layers slid out of place and the tower came crashing down. I was horrified. I only had a few hours until the party and didn't have time to re-bake so I did the only thing I could do and "fixed" it. Chopped off the tower {which we ate later}, re-frosted, drew on my music notes and VIOLA. 

What I realized, though it wasn't what I dreamed of it being, it was heartfelt and was told by many it was delicious. I didn't even share this story with her but occasionally she reads my blog so she'll probably find out and we'll laugh about it. That's what friends are for right?

Ingredients

• 2 boxes of white cake
• 2 tubs of cream cheese frosting
• 1 basket of strawberries
• 1 tube of white and 1 tube of black icing

7 Pretty Things Sunday

If you were asked to come up with 7 pretty things, what comes right to mind? That's what I was asked. My mind just started spinning with all the ideas. My list may seem simple, maybe even plain, but they're... me.


Today I'm linking up with Gussy Sews, Matchstick Molly, Much Love, Illy & The Letter 4 for 7 Pretty Things on Sunday.

Piano. My love for music. I do hope to learn how 

to play someday.You're never to old, right?

Tattoo. I have two of my own but this one reaches deep in my heart.   love never fails 1st Corinthians 13

Everything about this. I have a passion for chandeliers but this overall bathroom looks like a mommy's safe haven. 

Bike. If you know us, you know our passion for bikes. This photo is us. Bikes, love.... Our Reflection.

Hair. Oh how I wish I had long beautiful wavy hair like this. It seems so effortless. Where's my magic wand?  

Scarf. Especially infinity scarves. I could wear one everyday. They seem to complete any outfit.

Vows. Having your wedding vows on canvas in front of your wedding photo. I adore this.

All the photos I posted today were found from my Pinterest stream in case you want to check them out here. I'd love to hear where you found your inspiration. 


Blessings.
