Trying to catch up...

Good news: I rocked as a mom this week -- planning and pulling off an big "Fairyland" themed birthday slumber party for my now thirteen-year-old son. He was stunning in his "Oberon, King of Fairy" costume and his best friend was a beautiful "Titania, Queen of Fairy." Most his friends came in fairy costumes. The cake was fun design and make, and certainly a success. Crafts were harder than I thought but enjoyed. Everyone seemed to have fun.

Bad news: After a week of intense preparations and a house full of teens and pre-teens for a day and a night, I am utterly exhausted. Please forgive me if I am way behind in replying to comments, email and other stuff. And I may not get caught up for a few days since i have other obligations that still need to be completed. Just hope folks understand.
