The Difference Between Fantasy and Reality



The Fantasy:
What I Would Love to Make
(Source)

The Reality:
What I Have the Patience, Skill, and Will to Make


This is why my sister, Lisa, calls me the Anti-Martha. It started shortly after my firstborn arrived, and Martha Stewart sent me an utterly ridiculous Baby magazine, the cover of which featured a first-birthday cake made with fondant and surrounded by little, hand-made party favors. At the time, I was doing great to get a shower every day while washing a gazillion loads of poopy-pukey laundry and spending 45 hours per day breast feeding. I ranted to my still-pregnant sister that my son would get such a cake only if Martha sent her hoard of assistants to make it for him. Lisa dubbed me the Anti-Martha.

Confirmed.

Just keepin' it real here on Questioning.

And happy birthday to my honey. You rock!

  2. I'm betting the one you made tasted a lot better than the fancy one. I'd much rather have the one you made. You can see the love involved!
