(writes under the alias, Lilith Silvermane) grew up in Arlington, Texas. She moved to Colorado in 1990, and then back again in 2000. She has six children that range between 16 years old to 5 months old. Five girls and one boy keep her life constantly busy, and just noisy enough to let her know they are not getting into trouble. Being a single mom she has her hands full and her one relaxation is visiting blogs from all around the blogosphere. She works outside of the home for the school district. This way her schedule is flexible enough to get to the kids if needed, but she can work for a bit of sanity, and the universal evil… Money. Suzanne had decided to start a new local and online business. After making a diaper cake for her best friends baby shower in April, she fell in love with the concept of making gifts that help people smile. Cotton Cakes will primarily be made with disposable diapers; however she will have a collection of cloth diaper cakes for those mothers who just need another nudge into cloth diapering. She donates cakes to a local hospital once a month to give to a needy/young mother. Having her oldest daughter at 18, she knows how hard it can be to be a young mother. She writes almost daily on her blog Crunchy Green Lovin’ Mom ~ crunchy green mom~ about everything from laundry, to diapers, to giveaways!

Wacky Wednesday shopping finds

Christmas in July…
I love the holiday season, it’s cozy, happy and it keeps me with a constant lump in my throat with the anticipation of what is to come. I cry every Christmas morning when I watch the kids open their gifts; I work really hard to make sure that they have something that makes them smile.

Don’t get me wrong. I love the July holidays! (Yes, my birthday is a July Holiday)

The 4th of July and its berry cakes, and grilled corn on the cob are all AMAZING. The fireworks and laughing families late into the evening are delightful and would warm anyone’s heart.

But nothing matches the December holiday season.

Every Christmas, I get an ornament for my best friend. He and I have been doing that for 15 years, I am always looking for a new one for him. This last year, I got him a Raiders ornament. Against my better judgment, but it is his favorite team, so I had to put my distaste aside.

Then I found this fabulous site. It’s called Yonder Star (Yonderstar.com) such a cute name and amazing things on the site. Great gift ideas, but I LOVE these ornaments I found.Here are the things I’d suggest:


For your chef friend, How about:

For the chocolate lover in your life:

For those that love milk, like our little toddlers, how about this?

However, the winner for me is this ornament! How cool is this? Heck… It is going be my new thing I hang on the fridge with a sheet of paper under it “Check Yes or No”. That way, I know before I come home what I’m picking up!!
