Finally the wonderful Mrs. Destiny!

So when I wrote my first true post about Amy and her cake pops, I mentioned Mrs. Destiny, who is a friend of mine and is absolutely fabulous! So without further adieu: www.aplaceforusblog.com/ . Now let me tell you a little bit about Mrs. Destiny. She is happily married to Mr. Reggie, has 3 beautiful babies Mikel, Mikah, and the sweet little Alivya, has a straight out of Better Homes and Gardens house and makes the most awesome cakes. All this and still has time to be crafty!

She just recently did a post about her patio redo and it is a must see, again straight out of a magazine! I did a little interview with Mrs. Destiny.

PinkPosies: How did you become part of the blog world?
        Mrs. Destiny: Well, I think like most blogs mine started off as a family blog and then turned into something else after being features on Just a Girl and a few months later on House of Smiths. But the first time I ever read a blog was my friend Brittany. It was like scrapbooking online :0) I loved it and have ever since!

PinkPosies: How do you maintain a beautiful house while being crafty and still taking care of 3 little ones and Reggie?
      Mrs. Destiny: Hmmmm, well I'm the first one to say that my house is not maintained. It's a bit crazy actually! lol..What you see on my blog MOSTLY is my best foot forward. A clean "staged"space. Because everyone likes to look at things that are pretty including me. You will also get a glimpse of real stuff too though :0) But day to day we are just a regular family with the all of the responsiblites. Blogging for me has always been a hobby and I'm not sure when and if it will be more than that. Right now I have three babies that need me and a big baby who needs me even more! My blog can't come before them :0) I can't post 5 days a week...sometimes I can't even post one day a week! But I'm ok with that. The followers that I have are the ones who love just seeing what I'm up to and I like it like that!
I decorate/Craft/Blog during nap and mostly at night those are really my only down times! I drag the kids to Micheals and get them a project to work on also. I try to do most of the projects outside so they can play.

PinkPosies: To date what is your favorite craft project, DIY remodel/home make-over, or recipe you have done?
      Mrs. Destiny: Let's see, right now its our dining room/living room area!!!! The before and afters are always fun to look at! We use to call it a dance floor/cave. But now it's starting to be one of my favorite places in our home :0)

PinkPosies: What are your blog plans for the future?
        Mrs. Destiny: I'm always adding new things to my blog! I just recenlty finished up a 5 week series called {Be Inspired} I plan on launching two more series this year...I Love my Home and Your Invited! Be on the look out! Reggie and I are also going to continue working on the house and upgrading little by little! This summer I would love to finish the living/dining room space! Also start on the laundry room and the office!
I'm really just letting the Lord lead me as far as growing my blog:0) If opportunities arise from blogging I first pray and seek councel from my hubby or close friends. If it's not right for my family then we just won't do it!

PinkPosies: Thank you so much Mrs. Destiny I loved having you!
        Mrs. Destiny: Thanks so much Liana!!! It was a joy and I look forward to see more from your BLOG!

So I just recently came across this absolutely amazing blog by Amy of Cake Pops. Now I am in no way an expert in the area of AMAZING but I must say that I do have a great opinion when it comes to this site! I love cake, cupcakes, brownies, cookies, all things sugary and no good for you but the hubs doesn’t eat alot of that stuff so I dont bake. About a year and a half ago we decided we wanted to start a cake business, you know making really cute cakes and cupcakes that are ever so popular right now, but we never put the work into it and just let the dream fizzle. I wish we would have stuck with it, who knows we might have a book out now too, just like Amy. Anywho, so as I said in my earlier post that lately I have had alot of free time so I was on the internet (facebook actually) and stopped by my friend Destiny’s page to see what she has been up to (more on her in a later post because she is absolutely amazing herself) and I happened across pictures of these cute little cake pops.

You know like lollipops but made out of cake. OMG!!!! I feel in love and had to find out where she got them. Turns out she had the link on her blog to Amy’s site: http://www.bakerella.com/ . Amy is so creative and somehow makes cake look exactly like all characters to a “T”. She has re-inspired my passion for cakes and cupcakes and I will definately try out some of the ideas she has on her site. I already have plans for different events this summer, and as I make some of these delicious little puppies I promise to post pictures. Hop on over to her site, I promise you will not regret it, ok maybe the weight gain but not the adventure! Happy eats and I hope to someday get to meet the genius behind the cake pops. Here’s to you Amy!
