Wow, one year… one whole year I have been writing this blog! As I sit here typing, I am swaying in my chair and singing the lyrics to the 1990′s jam, “It’s Our Anniversary” by Tony! Toni! Toné!
However, I am replacing the word anniversary with blogoversary, because I am cool like that! It’s a damn good thing no one can see or hear me because I way waaay off key and the song in this context makes absolutely no sense!
For my blogoversary, I made The Pioneer Woman’s Italian Cream Cake, and let me tell you – this cake is fabulous!
If you follow me on twitter, you may remember my tweet about having a spoonful of this frosting for breakfast yesterday morning. I did omit the walnuts because Brian is allergic. Instead, I topping the cake with toasted coconut, and it is FAB!
For my blogoversary I wanted to put together a giveaway that would be comprised of some of my favorite things.

What I hope to accomplish this year is to find a certain peace within myself. Things are getting really stressful for me with school, and other things. So definitely… Less stress and peace.
Happy blogoversary! I've been thinking about that cake since I saw it on PW's site and now I may have to break down and try it…
My goal for the next year is to get back on track. Unforeseen circumstances threw me off and I just want to be where I was!
My goal is to have book three turned in to my publisher. My lifelong goal has been to turn a perfect cartwheel, but that ain't gonna happen this side of heaven.
My goal is to make a better loaf of bread. It has always alluded me.
Awesome! My goal is to learn how to use fondant. I've been avoiding it for years because I never wanted to deal with it and now is the time to take that leap!
Happy Blogoversary! My goal is post regularly on my blog and finish some of the sweaters that I've started, but haven't finished.
I want to improve my bread-making skills, especially kneading by hand. :)
Happy Blogaversary!
My goal for the next year is to develop my blog into a place where my friends and others can share their ideas about food, being green, and travel. I love all the things you have put together of your favorites.
This gaveaway is amazing! And I'm so glad to learn about this blog. My goal for the next year is to figure out a way to earn a living (or maybe part of a living) while doing something I love. Fingers crossed!!
