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.

Thanks for the giveaway.
My goal is to finish more knitting projects than I start in the next year. I have many unfinished objects taking up space and creative room. And right after that I have got to make that cake! Happy blogoversary!
I have been enjoying your blog over the last few months. I have made a few things and been so happy with everything I have tried so far. My goal next year is to be the best mom I can be to my two little ones. As well as enjoy my time with them while they are young.
Thanks so much for all your blogging!
