Bamboo Pink

Bamboo Pink

Earlier this week, I was contacted about a new opportunity at Bamboo Pink. I'm taking the leap! I promise not to pester you all with it, but did want to share the opportunity with those who may be interested. :-)

Here's why:

*It's FREE to become a consultant! (No demo kits or mandatory start up fees)

*You don't have to host parties or distribute books.

*You don't have to buy product and sell it from your home, office, etc...

*It's all internet based using virtual trunk shows. You simply direct people who want to buy Bamboo Pink to your website and presto... it's done!

*The merchandise!!! Have you seen it!?!? We're talking about SUPER cute stuff!!! The jewelry is high quality, fashionable, AND affordable. It's price pointed from $29-$100. So it works with anyone's budget.

*The designers behind Bamboo Pink, JudeFrances, already have an established high-end jewelry line that can be found in upscale department stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus.

*There is absolutely NO RISK if you sign up now to become a consultant. Because you do not have to invest $ into the company in order to become a consultant, if in the future you decide that this isn't for you, you're not out any money.

*It's already projected to be the fastest growing women's internet start-up company in HISTORY!!! And the company hasn't been officially launched yet!

So why not become apart of history with Bamboo Pink? You have nothing to lose!

02/04/05: Six years ago tomorrow

Yes I am becoming old. It will be official at 1:19pm on 02/04/11. My oldest son, Case will be 6. I know you might think, whop-te-do. But to me, this is my baby. This little...hmm...sweet innocent boy, yeah that is what I'll call him today and tomorrow, changed my life. I never knew what it would be like to be a mom. I always imagined growing up how it might feel and how much fun it would be, who didn't? But I don't think anything ever REALLY prepared me for the chaos and joys of motherhood. Nor did I have any idea that 6 years later, I would have 4 spawn screaming my name hourly.

So it comes, the oldest turns 6 tomorrow and has requested Blueberry Indiana Jones Cupcakes. Tonight he will bake with me. Tonight we will buy Indiana Jones ring party favors. Tonight we will make a mess out of my already messy kitchen. But tonight, we will also make a memory that he and I both won't forget. I love my little boy. Happy Birthday Case! Your mother is very proud of you!

...You don't think I'd leave the post without atleast something to tide you over until tomorrow, do you? Nope. I had hoped that Case would have jumped at my new favorite thing, Cake Balls. No they aren't new. But they are still new to me because I haven't mastered them like I have cupcakes and pumpkin bread. I was hoping he would go for some strawberry cake balls and I could practice my chocolate coatings and drizzles. But no that was not his request this year. I might still make them next week. ;)

However, Today I found a great post because of @bakeat350tweets twitter feed. My kitchen addiction posted a great post on chocolate drizzle and tips to make it "chaos" proof. Here is a picture of her amazing work:

You can read the full post here. Not only did she do a great job with the tips and techniques, she incorporated some humor as well. I can just see her kitchen covered in gloopy chocolate.

Hottest Food Trends for 2011

What are the hottest trends in food for 2011? According to Chris Macias McClatchy Newspaper, Milk, goat, Iphone Wine lists and humane foods are among the list. You can see the full article here.

Why did that catch my eye, because I'm always looking for new ways to incorporate nostalgic favorites with hot trends when it comes to cooking and baking. I've had an iphone wine list for 2 years now, so this isn't new to me. But i love that Chris mentions Nostalgic ethnic foods returning. What makes a food nostalgic? And which ethnicities is Chris referring to? The one preparing the food or the one enjoying it?

What foods do you find nostalgic? Which ones would you like see a new twist to? I'm considering learning to can jellies this year. And I am flirting with the idea of incorporating Messina Hof wines into my jellies. Any suggestions?
