Can You Think of a Better Reason to Celebrate?

My other-daughter (I like that better than daughter-in-law, don't you?) Heather, is expecting her first baby, making me a grandma-times-three, some time on or around March 16th.

I ask, "What better reason to celebrate with a par-tay?" and so we had a baby-shower. The first one to guess what she's having wins a prize....not really, I got nothin' for ya, except for some bloggy-love.

Let's zoom-in on that white platter with the chocolate things, shall we?

This is where I interrupt our normal blog-posting schedule, to shamelessly plug a sinfully-delectable treat called, "Cake Bites" which I discovered through my daughter Jen who discovered them on Rachael Ray, who discovered them through the Sweet Tooth Fairy. This is a new bakery not far from my home, which has been open for just over a week, and where I am already a three-peat customer. Embarrassing really, especially since two of my three visits were in secret when I pretended to be purchasing treats for a party, but consumed them all by myself on the drive home.

I only just met the bakery's owner on my third and NOT-secret visit (a delightful woman, by the way) but as a member of the community, I DO feel a vested interest in feeding my addiction facilitating the ongoing success of her business! The cupcakes I ordered for both my real AND pretend parties were also a-may-zing, as were the peanut butter cookies that no one else got to try.

Now back to the REAL reason for my post. Thanks to my other-daughter Heather and to my son Jared in his supporting role, for giving me the best excuse EVER to throw a party. I love you both!
