LIFE // mother's day & shop my closet

Before I get started, I have a very exciting announcement: I went through my closet and found some things I never got a chance to wear (mainly because they are too big or small for me). I was going to sell them at our next yard sale, but I remembered a few people saying they'd like to shop my closet... well, your wish is my command. You can now go here to do just that! So far there's only a couple things up — I had gym class today and I am in no state to be modeling anything quite yet. More soon, I promise.

Now, Mother's Day. My particular mother elected to spend her day doing garden work, so I made a lemon-lemon-lemon cake. What's this? you say. Lemon cake, lemon frosting, and lemon curd... is your mouth watering yet? Yes? Mine too. This makes a big tall cake, and it was all gone by this evening. *sob* I've typed up the recipe for this deliciousness for you to make yourself should you so choose.

I was also in charge of table decorating. I floated a tea light and various flowers in a bowl for the centerpiece.

Actually, the whole theme was flowers. I taped up some temporary posters.

om nom nom. grilled chicken, asparagus, and zucchini with baked potatoes.

The Cake. i'm proud that the frosting survived, i am the worst at frosting cakes.

blurry picture, don't judge. I just wanted to show you the pansies on top. did you know pansies are edible? when the garden store lady told me i was all surprised. i think i might have asked her which plants were poisonous if you put them on a cake... she looked concerned, like maybe the cops were needed. it was a bad brain day, okay?

i do not lie when I say that this is THE BEST CAKE in the entire world. especially if you like lemons.

Agh. Now I am totally wishing I hadn't eaten the last slice of the cake. I need a Full Belly Bowl to multiply this cake into infinity.

xoxo.
