A Mom's Year

Creating a comfortable life one moment at a time

September 5, 2012

Lately / Summer’s End

+ We ended the summer with Camp Week. Which meant sleeping in a tent and making lots of kettle corn.

+ Some of us ate Deep-fried Twinkies at the State Fair. Some of us went on Extreme Rides. One of us wasn’t as excited as she would have been in the past about the extra-long ride we got on the Kamikaze. It turns out the fellow in front of us was buddies with the ride operator.

+ We made a Towel Cake for our soon-to-be cousin. Next time I’ll remember to buy ribbon.

+ One last day on the river.

+ Heading off to high school.

+ And middle school and fourth grade and second grade.

+ The Bus Cake made its annual appearance. Andrew was at football practice, but we saved him a piece. (One of the nicest things about going back to school has been listening in as Andrew gives Lexie the scoop on Middle School.)

    Yes, I make the bus cake, Marilyn. Cake decorating is my nemesis, so I only do it once a year. 😉

Welcome

Hello! My name is Shannon Taylor. I'm a long-time writer and editor from Minnesota surprised to find myself on an island in the Pacific Northwest. I'm sharing this adventure with my husband, four kids, and two dogs. I “published” my first newsletter when I was nine, and I’ve loved sharing ideas, stories, and information ever since. I hope you find something here to inspire you and help you create a comfortable, cozy life.
