In the ‘Sad, but True’ Files

Once, when I was in forth or fifth grade, I ran away. I packed a bag, wrote a note and left. I found a house for sell and stashed my stuff there. Then I went and played with my friends. When dark came, I crawled into the garage of the empty house and attempted to...

    Thank you so much for posting this. :o) Your mother’s delayed reaction sounds similar to the way my mother would have reacted, by the way.

Adventures at DRY Ink

So I meant to blog. Really I did. This was supposed to be my triumphant return to blogging. To chronicling what ever the hell it is that goes on around here. But then shit happened. I hear I’m not the first. There may even be a t shirt about it. But on to the shit....

    Way to lay down the law for the Hero Race Car Driver. I’m sure he’ll get right on that. The fireplace is looking good, but I’ll be sure not to stare too long at it. We know what happens when I do. And to get all sentimental for one second…it’s about time I could be there for you since you’ve ALWAYS been there for me. Love you, friend.

    Why oh why do we have summer vacation? This is NOT going the way I envisioned it. Maybe Rachel will take my kids, too? I am a lot closer to Utah.

The Last Hoorah

Today is the cherubs’ last day of school. Despite the fact that they are doing absolutely nothing today, I sent them. I sent them because I needed today. So how am I celebrating my last few hours of freedom you might ask? Organizing, watching HGTV and doing Jacob’s laundry. In his defense, I never do...

    After much effort….
    consider me contained.

    Why can’t school go YEAR ROUND?

    My hydrangea is blooming this year, too!! I can’t tell you how excited I am about that. Especially since I thought it was dead for the last two years. I didn’t think that it would do well in a pot, but now that I see yours, maybe I’ll try to re-plant it. I don’t know, maybe I shouldn’t mess with it. I obviously have a black thumb!!

    Mmmmmm. Hydrangeas.

How Not to Make Cup Cakes: A Tutorial

Apparently eight is French for two birthdays. Or Mormon, but what ever. In my struggle to pull this whole thing off, I had an epiphany this morning. I, (Erika Lynn Rebstock) will make cupcakes for Jack’s friend birthday tonight, since I have already ordered and spent $30 on his baptism/family birthday party cake. Brilliant right?...

    Awesome. Good job, Super Mom.

    the chocolate legs to the bugs are ment to be made of chocolate wafers piped on wax paper and then cooled it then peals of and can be placed on the cupcake, i have to book and this makes it allot easier and the result is much cleaner : )

  • ErikaJuly 16, 2009 - 3:43 pm

    No, I read that. Melting chocolate wafers and then piping that seemed much more difficult to me, someone with no cake decorating skills. Either way the results would have been sloppy, at least this way was half the work.

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, Or Not

My mom just showed up out of the blue and took the cherubs to her house to swim. Which is good because I’m currently knee deep in planning a certain male cherub a birthday party for Friday night and a baptism for Sunday. Yeah, I’m a little behind on things. In my defense, I haven’t...
