It’s been a CRAZY month! My Baby Boy turned one! Can you even believe that? I can’t!!! Remember last year when he was born? I do, and I can’t believe it’s already been a year.

The party was an all week affair here on the blog. With a record 21 posts in a week!! Cake Smash, Baby Boy turns 1, Cake Batter and Sprinkles Cake, Cake Batter and Sprinkles Party, the rest of the party and all the recipes!

The rest of the month was just as exciting, not only a few new recipes, but also TWO new free crochet patterns!!!! Cazookie, Shell Beanie pattern, faux-hawk (baby, child and adult sizes), Homemade Philly Cheesesteak, Caramel Marshmallows

Don’t forget the link party is open all month now! Come back as often as you want and share everything you’re making! You guys are amazing, thanks for linking up so much inspiration. Also I’m pinning everything I feature to a special board “Topsy Turvy Features”

How totally cute is this square fox pillow? I mean ADORABLE!!! I love every part of him, esp the tail- such a cute addition! And she used scraps to make him! She has a pattern and full tutorial! SO cute!

I usually only feature one project from a person at a time, but I fell in love with both the fox pillow AND this placemat!!! What a great and yet pretty way to teach your children how to set a table!

Kay, Jessica makes amazing items for her baby girl, this tiny Witches hat is ADORABLE! Seriously cute! Don’t you want one? It doesn’t hurt that the model is precious!

Remember our obsession with breakfast foods we have at our house? I am SO adding these cute pancake pops to our menu!!!

I won’t ever try these because I can’t stand coffee. REALLY can’t stnd it the smell, taste, anything (kind of like my dislike of banana’s). BUT I love toasted coconut, and I figured some of you might like coffee, and these toasted coconut coffee muffins look amazing so I wanted to share.

And for the tip of the week (month) How to back up your wordpress blog! My hosting company does a back up, but after more than my fair share of computer crashes and back ups not working perfectly I prefer more than one. So I will totally be trying this!

Let’s see what you’ve got!

I can not BELIEVE it’s the third Tuesday of September already! INSANITY I tell you. In fact my BIRTHDAY is tomorrow! Last year I threw myself my last hurrah before the baby cake, my Ice Cream Parlor birthday party. It was SUCH a fun party, I was GOING to repeat it this year. BUT I’m working on a big first birthday party for Baby Boy instead, look for that next month! Remember the link party will be open all month so come back every week and link up! You can find the link party by clicking on the Topsy Turvy Third Tuesday button on my sidebar!

So this last month I promised i’d post more and catch up, after all the older 4 kids are in school and it’s just me and Baby Boy home all day, LOTS of extra time, right? WRONG! It’s been super busy as I’ve been playing catch up on EVERY aspect of my life that got ignored while we enjoyed our summer together! I think I’ll always be a bit behind… Part of my charm, right? I will say Baby boy is at SUCH a fun age it’s when we aren’t running errands I tend to sing and dance and play ball with him instead of blog, I know you guys understand!

But I did get some posts in, a few giveaways (with another one later this week so come back!) AND some really fun project! This Neon Paper Dahlia, My Marriage and Birth Certificate Family Puzzle, Chalkboard Chargers, and this White Trash Trailer Cake

This Rainbow unicorn cake is totally impressive! WAY TO GO!!! she not only does a great job shaping the cake, but has great fondant skills too! The whole party is cute and fun, but the cake is the real treat!

If Baby Boy had been a girl I would totally have made these adorable t-shirt flowered sandals for “her”. My sister just had a girl, I might have to make her a pair! Adorable!

I don’t have a lot of room in our basement apartment. For crying outloud we have one toilet for 7 people (good thing Baby Boy is in diapers!) So guests are out of the question. BUT if I had a good window I could add a hide-a-bed window seat! Totally using this when we finally get a house a reading space most of the time but good for guests too! Maybe in my office?

I’ve seen a few tutorials to make your own pads of paper, and I’ve totally been meaning to pin one and try it out! This is a great tutorial AND it includes a printable if you want to create a shopping list pad!

Cake balls have slowly taken over the cupcake craze (thankfully) and these pineapple cake pops are TOTALLY adorable! Seriously? Could they be more perfect!

Our Sate Fair just ended (we didn’t get to go this year – Boo) and one of the BEST parts of the Fair is the food! For a few years now fried foods have been the BIG thing to try. This is a recipe for deep fried Twinkies looks AMAZING! Whose going to try it?

I’ve been debating between a few different themes for Baby Boy’s first birthday party next month. The top contender for the last few months was COMIC books! So when I saw this comic book chair I about died!

But I actually switched theme- now we’re doing “cake batter and sprinkles” (saving comics for an older boys party- or mine), so these funfetti cookies are right up the parties alley!

Let’s see what you’ve got!

Remember Topsy Turvy Tuesdays are now just once a month, the third Tuesday! The link party will be open all month so come back every week and link up! You can find the link party by clicking on the Topsy Turvy Third Tuesday button on my sidebar!

It’s been a busy summer, my first summer with 5 kids! We didn’t get out to play as much as I’d hoped, but we still had a great time together. The kids start up again next week so expect the blog to pick back up again (until the Holiday’s at least!). I have a TON of fun stuff I’ve done over the summer to share with you, and more fun projects and recipes in the works!

Quick month’s recap: I finally got around to posting my life sized Candy Land game. I also shared Baby Boy’s 9 month pictures! I can’t believe how fast his first year is going! And we celebrated 12 years of marriage! And yesterday I posted two washi tape crafts with a giveaway for 10 rolls of tape and 25 decorative tags.

The cake business has been busy too! I made another vintage ruffled wedding cake with a tutorial on painting the edges of the flowers. I made a blue ombre smash cake for a sweet one year old! I was excited to make Bumble Bee shaped sugar cookies for the DIY blogger house reveal party in Daybreak. And finally a Kaboo bags inspired cake for the Bella Bash!

So the Olympics are over, and I didn’t see a SINGLE event! Growing up I loved watching them, but we don’t have TV and it’s just not the same trying to crowd my kids around my computer… But I love love LOVE this torch and medal from Sew Can do! NEXT time!

We’re major nerds over here… My husband has a Chemistry degree, and Chemical engineering degree so we are big fans of the periodic table! I love the idea of using the periodic table as art! I might have to frame these for my husband!

Kids love sensory toys, and Asperger kids ESPECIALLY love sensory stuff. I’m excited to make these toddler sensory bottles! Easy to make and a ton of fun, Baby Boy is going to LOVE a few of these!

Do you love glitter??? I LOVE Glitter… and Shoes? LOVE shoes, so glitter shoes??? Perfection!

I’m trolling through KSL classifieds for a gorgeous, detailed dresser for my office. So I tend to gravitate towards lovely makeovers like this one! This dresser redo is just lovely, and I LOVE this green, I might use this shade myself!

You KNOW I have to feature some food… mmmmm After I finish these features I go enjoy my “second” dinner… These Texican Pillows look delicious!

I have a few favorite candy bars, and twix are one of them! I can’t wait to try these homemade twix bars! Whose with me?

I’ve been hearing about biscoff spread all year, I love the cookies so I can’t WAIT to try these biscoff cupcakes! Don’t they look absolutely delicious?

tip of the month- How to make your page or a single image “no pin”! the first thing I did was make all your feature images no pin so people will be more inclined to click over to your page to pin you!
