I had a delicious time on my latest design project, working with Diana, of Diana's Sweet Bakery, on her logo and branding. Diana started baking as a hobby and now she runs a successful bakery out of her home in Maryland. Her specialties are cupcakes and cakepops. She gave me a lesson in cakepops, I thought you just used a mold or one of those cakepop-waffle-iron thingies to make a cakepop. OH NO, not Diana's cakepops, her cakepops are loveling formed into a ball from cut-up cake, frosting, and her perfected melted chocolate mixture. Diana's not stopping there though, she's branching out into what she calls "smash" cakes (small 6in cakes ideal for a first birthday cake smashing) topped in buttercream frosting or marshmallow fondant (YUM!) and some other offerings as well. In addition to being a great baker, Diana is also super creative and great at accommodating custom orders. Check out the scrumptious design inspired by her decadent sweets!

Momma & Me Yoga | The Good, the Bad and the Adorable
9:45 AM
My Yoga obsession continues! My son is cruising now and I'm so excited to find more ways to engage my little bundle of energy. I took him to the pool yesterday and he loved it! I want to do yoga with him too. When he was really little, before he even crawled, I used Shiva Rea's awesome Momma and Baby Yoga DVD. Once he could crawl he pretty much went off and did his own thing and I did yoga solo. Recently he has come up and climbed on me while I was doing poses so I think it's time to get him involved again.
I found this sweet video on YouTube from YogaEarth and it was exactly what I hope to have with my son someday. :)

DIY Terrarium : Choosing Your Climate
10:51 PM
I have been drooling over all the gorgeous, modern and sometimes quirky terrariums that I have been seeing on Pinterest and Etsy for a long time now. And after months of telling myself I really need to make one, I have finally done it…only not for myself. I made one for my mother, for Christmas. (One of these days I will actually make one for myself.) I put it off for so long because the process seemed a bit daunting…I'm no botanist, I'm no gardner…I had no idea where to start. Finally, I snatched up a vase at Target and committed. My vase worked out fine, but looking back it would have been smarter to start by deciding the climate for my terrarium. The climate is determined by the light, moisture, soil and will inform your plant life choices, as feel as, it sets the stage for the maintenance and upkeep of your terrarium. Climate will also dictate the area of your living space that your terrarium will enjoy living in the most—right by the window, near the steam-rich shower or in the diffused light of your living room. I created this graphic for anyone who's feeling as lost as I was. My next post will walk you step by step through the terrarium I made.
