Celebrating Recovery on New Year's Eve

These are the cakes I made for our Celebrate Recovery New Year's Eve Party. I couldn't find my camera, so I took these pics with my phone.
This one was a butter cake with vanilla buttercream and chocolate buttercream frosting.
Mmmmm. Butter is goooood.

This one is chocolate with chocolate ganache filling. I had to cover it with vanilla buttercream because it was so chocolaty!

The friends, food, music, and dancing were great. We had a blast ringing in the new year!

I didn't realize you'd made those cakes. How did I not figure that out!? I'm a moron. You know the cake with the guy raising his arms in the air... yeah, that was tasty!

Attention Fellow Homeschoolers

As a new homeschooler , the choices regarding curriculum are overwhelming. I need advice. We are currently doing preschool level work, but next year we will be doing kindergarten stuff. What have you guys used? Did you like it? Why? Why not? I would also love to hear from those of you who are trained school teachers. That's you, Crickey . :) What do I need to look for when evaluating materials?

Red Chip, Blue Chip

Image
Last night I got a RED CHIP and another BLUE CHIP ! At Celebrate Recovery , I received a Red Chip to mark 30 days of abstaining from over-eating! Now, this is a really, really big thing. I have never intentionally lost weight. I have never been even slightly successful on a diet. I have tried South Beach, The Zone, Dr. Phil, Weight Watchers... The problem was this: I was relying on my own will power, which stinks (I wanted to say "sucks" but it really makes my dad cringe when I use that word, so I won't). Anyway, now I am seeking and relying on God's will. Cool concept, huh? God's will is so much better than mine. My will is fragile, fickle, selfish, impatient. God's will is perfect. I'm not saying that I have eaten perfectly in the last month. I am saying that I didn't go on any all-out binges. I did stop eating when I realized that I was eating too much. I am learning to analyze my thoughts when I head to the pantry and keep my behavior in check.
