*...Holy Cow, is July over Already...*

To say the least...I HAVE BEEN SOOOOO BUSY!

Lots of baking and an extra helping of craziness has been happening in the Stalnaker house this month.  Two broken, (yes I said 2) cell phones, a slight car heart attack...just the battery, whew, but I towed it 30 miles away because I just new the whole car was for certain, undoubtedly, dead and we wanted the right guys to do the fixing! 
All the while, school starts in two days ( minus the weekend of course )! 

With all that off my chest now, on to the baking and decorating! 

Our close friends "Danny and Tiffany" got hitched last weekend and I'm so glad they did, because it gave me the opportunity to make a cake that I have been pinning to make f-o-r-e-v-e-r, and they get to live happily ever after, of course!

 "THE MARTHA STEWART, totally-awesome-how am i going to pull this off, CALICO CAKE

The bride, is super trendy and had just the right look for this cake!  
I was phsyched and 2,000 cut outs later, may I present to you,


I actually had a really good time making this cake and it couldn't have been
for a nicer (if that's a word) wedding!
I looked over the calendar yesterday and thought Holy Cow, July is over...weren't we just shooting fireworks yesterday, (we'll actually we weren't , wink wink, thats illegal where I'm from!)  So I made myself a plan and have been trying to stick to it...hence the 2 broken phones, car attack, and toddler chasing... I'm a little behind!  

I have been working on a station calendar/ guide to make my life eaisier this year...I tend to find lots of great ideas but forget to maintain the bare bones of the station so ...I have maped out a coulple "have to's" for my kiddos and then I hope to add all the awesome new printables i've found from,
The Inspired Apple and The First Grade Parade, as the year goes on!

It's a work in progress... but if you want a peek just click the link !

Due to my obsession with centers this week I have two new BIG BOOKS PRINTABLES to share! Hope you guys like them!

In a nutshell, it's been crazy around here and the truth of the matter is it's going to get crazier next week when we report back to school!  I found this button on-line and I couldn't have said it better myself!
* Happy End of Summer,
