Thing 1.
Alison’s cake was gorgeous! Our friend & fabulous baker Kristin posted a Swiftie-inspired cake that she made a couple of months ago & I messaged her immediately to order a similar cake for Ali. Ali’s not a Swiftie, and neither am I, really — though, having traveled to Amsterdam to go to an Eras Tour concert (and ending up going to two), you may beg to differ. But last summer, while making friendship bracelets & becoming familiar with Taylor Swift’s music, I also saw a clip of her boyfriend’s podcast where he admitted that he was a grown-ass man before he realized that it’s Alice in Wonderland… not Alison Wonderland! Well, we really liked “Alison Wonderland” for a bunch of reasons, and Ali even made herself a bracelet!
Kate thought 38 candles would blur the message too much, so we used only one. haha. The cake was delicious!
We gave her a “homeowners’ tool kit” and a box full of picture-hanging supplies! She will make good use of both, I’m sure.
Thing 2.
There are flowers blooming outside!
And inside! That’s another of those irresistable MONDO craft kits from Target. Five dollars for a set of three + paint + paintbrushes. Waiting to see what happens with with those given the tariff on China… $10? $15?
Thing 3.
It feels good to have something on my United countdown ticker. I’m heading to Lima at the end of next month for Addison’s high school graduation! (!!!) I’ll be taking an empty suitcase with me so I can bring back some of their stuff (possibly a suitcase full of shoes), as it’ll be only a month later that they return to Wisconsin.

That’s a gorgeous cake and I adore the nod to Taylor, too! Hooray for flowers of the growing and artsy variety!
Three terrific things! I love that cake and hope Alison Wonderland had a great birthday. Flowers inside and out are always welcome and so is a planned trip to Peru! 🙂
That’s a beautiful cake! I showed it to my daughter (who is a Swiftie), and she thought it was amazing!
