In reply to lainie. The cake is really just a vehicle for the frosting, as far as I'm concerned.

crap, I want mac & cheese now! and don’t yell, but me & the girls don’t really like cake at all. I have been known to eat all the frosting off of a cake & I will indulge in an end piece due to the 2 sided frosting. We always celebrated with the huge chocolate chip decorated cookie. I am excited my peeps are “in” also. No pressure…. 🙂

We just recently got one and I have no idea who the kid is. That’s weird to me but, cake is cake right? I mean it’s not mac and cheese with the STUFF on top but it’s cake…right?
Thank you for spreading the blog around. I’m excited to have your people on board. I hope I don’t let them (or you) down. But if I know you, you’ll let me know. 🙂

truthfully, i knew all was good when my girls would get invites from kids in their classes, look at me & say~ I am not even friends with them, why are they inviting me”? YES!

In reply to Mrs. Hi Mrs. Sunflower! I like that because I love sunflowers, they are happy flowers. Well, I don't know if they are happy but they make me happy. I am sad that your daughter had to go through that. I would be crushed if someone did that to JJ. I wasn't thinking, that's for sure. Live and learn, right? Thank you for commenting. I loved it!!

In reply to Celeste. Celeste! You will always have me for blunders and we can sit in my car and read magazines together instead of actually getting to know the rules, or other people. :) Love your comment. Thank you so much!!! Cheers to both of us!!!

My daughter, who is in PreK, was upset she did not get a birthday invite when all the girls in the class had one. Even at this young age, she was upset. Turns out, she did get it the next day as it was stuck in the wrong cubby.
For the young ages, if you invite kids at school, it’s all the girls.
As kids get older, then it can just be friends.

Oh, my stomach hurt just reading this, but to be honest, I kind of wish some of my daughter’s classmates parents were a little more like you and a little less “Pinterest-y perfect” so I wouldn’t feel the odd-man out when I make similar blunders. Cheers 🙂

In reply to Arden Rembert Brink. Well, I'm glad you found mine and I hope you come back. I need to know if Jen remembers! If it were me, I would tell that you that I DO remember and that you should throw me a repeat party so I can get over it. But that's just me. :)
