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.

Just found your blog through Marthaandme. Such yummy looking things. Goals for the next year are to become a Daring Baker, exercise more so I can eat all these yummy recipes I encounter, and to improve my blogging abilities.
My goal is to organize 2 weddings this year. I must start small. :) Cheers!!
My goal is to be a better baker. To learn from my mom all her baking tricks and try new things!

Congrats on your blog-iversary!
Congratulations on the anniversary!

Oh, and I want to be pregnant!
My goal is to lose another 30 pounds (already lost 40) but still enjoy baking and cooking – whether it's finding new recipes with lower fat and calories, or just being able to enjoy one bite of something and passing the rest along to family and friends.
I have a horrendous list of home improvements to tackle sometime this year – how is it July already??!! Love your blog and thanks for the giveaway!
