Carrot cake...



So I had been reading Kristy's blog for a while...if you don't already you really should check her out. I mean she is from Wisconsin and she has three adorable little boys. ANYWAY, on to the carrot cake. I came across this post about "Ex-boyfriend carrot cake". Two things I love, a good story and some carrot cake. She was pregnant and craving her ex boyfriend's mom's carrot cake....so yup she emailed and got the recipe. I laugh because I can recall those crazy pregnancy cravings and the length that I would have gone to get a "fix"....good thing non of my ex boyfriends mom's had the lone recipe to bacon cheeseburgers!
So, on to the carrot cake AGAIN! {Sorry} I have made the cake twice...once they way she made it...but I wanted to make it a little "fancy" for Easter so I baked it in two round pans (and baked it for a little over 30 minutes). So it isn't the prettiest cake I have ever baked...but I am sure that it still tastes delicious!





Art envy....


My mom found this amazing women who makes "subway" art to your specifications. And it is beautiful....my mom has THREE of her pieces...I cannot afford one! :(
Here is my favorite one in my dad's new "bar". I think I love it so much because it tells the story of my parents, and kinda me too.

{Sorry for the glare. I could not get a picture with out it!}
