Family Secrets!

Yesterday and today were very productive around here! It's a well-known fact around this household that Mommy doesn't do a whole lot of cookie and cake baking. Breads, birthday cakes, holiday pies - I can handle those. But the everyday "Just Because Cakes" I don't tend to do many of. In fact, the fam is lucky to get one a year from me, ha. I don't know if I have mentioned this before, but my sweet Hubby has some special "skills" that he keeps under wraps.

See, he says that because he was a "geek" in high school, he took Home Ec. to meet girls. That's right, people, my studly-HeMan took Home Economics. He learned how to cook his own food and even learned how to sew! I don't think he ever got a date for his efforts, but that's okay with me, I get to reap the rewards!

So, when I have big sewing projects like making Black-Out curtains for the boys' room, I feel confident asking Hubby for his help. In fact, when I leave my ego in the other room, I have to admit that Hubby sews a straighter line than I do.... He usually takes over the project and insists on finishing the actual sewing for me. I imagine it's because all my hurried-impatient-pedal-stomping gets on his nerves, ha. But, I am ever so glad to have a Hubby that doesn't mind helping me get projects done around here!! The curtains look great!

The kids are glad to have a Daddy who can whip up a fluffy, smooth-as-butter

"Just Because Cake!"

Oh, and the real reason I don't mind Hubby's previous Home Ec. experience? Because I took Shop in 6th grade and got an A+ and an award for Most Outstanding Student....
