Hi friends! Welcome to The Homemaking Party! I'm excited to see what everyone has to share!
This week has been fun and busy as we have had a productive school week and I've been redecorating for Spring. I'll share what I've done in Friday's and Sunday's posts.
Every Sunday Jamie and I go out for the afternoon and evening. Usually we just get dinner and snacks and then come home to watch TV. It's the only time during the week that we stop long enough to watch TV --- Haha! This week, though, he took me to my favorite antique shop first. We had such a nice time looking around and I saw so many adorable things I'd love to have! This sweet "Miss Dainty" set was in the same booth as the prize I ultimately ended up purchasing --- I'll show you that tomorrow for Vintage Finds Friday!
Friday night, 13 year old Kynthia made this delicious chocolate mint cake for our Shabbat dinner. It was fantastic --- truly. My mom told me that my great grandma always added an extra egg to any cake recipe. I told this to Kynthia and she made the change and it was really the very best homemade cake that's ever been made in this house! Yum! Grammy was right!
Our Avalon Grace turned 16 on March 1st! Unbelievable! We usually have daffodils in bloom all over the forest by her birthday and we've made it a tradition to go pick them on her special day. This year, however, we'd just experienced a big freeze so we had to postpone. Then she got sick. Finally on Tuesday we were able to go out and gather a bouquet.
Those are some of the things that are going on around our home this week. What have you been up to?
Hope you're having a happy week!

Kynthia's cake looks fabulous! I am glad I remembered grammy's advice! I am happy that Avalon found her flowers!
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah, I am glad your family is feeling better. We have had a round of flu here too. Not fun. Now that spring is here I am most eager to enjoy the garden but, since I was feeling better I got a jump start on it inside! Happy Homemaking!
ReplyDeleteOh I wish I could taste that cake through my screen! It looks divine. Happy 16th birthday Miss Avalon, I'm sorry it was spent sick and you couldn't pick your flowers. I hope it was a lovely day regardless. Have a great week!
