I've been "doing cakes" for 8yrs now as a business & often my family is "left behind" as you said - because I "can't say no" - also, as you said! I really enjoyed this. I LOVE your work! I was shocked that you were only lat 3.5yrs! I was brought to your site as I selected one of your wedding cake tables as inspiration for my niece's wedding this August. I am now following your blog, I don't see anything I don't LOVE - and I really enjoy your sense of humor (and I also have 3 kids, 2 of them being 4yr old twins! ..oh, & I also just went through my embarrassing stack of cookbooks, lol!) Thank you for sharing =)OCakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03835929782430009859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8900098247380373589.post-12067208637511987292011-12-09T14:55:35.433+11:002011-12-09T14:55:35.433+11:00Oh my goodness, that could have been written by me...Oh my goodness, that could have been written by me!! Except I am a sagitarius, turning 40 next year with 4 children and I am a selft taught wanna be cake maker who started almost 2 years ago!! I think you are my long lost twin, I could also relate to what you said about organising dinner parties at the age 11 and selecting the menu and serving ware. I even did the floral arrangements back then, and folded the napkins restaurant style LMAO<br /><br />Thank you for sharing your journey above, that same penny dropped in this household in October this year. My new years resolution is also say NO more and organise my work that is comfortable for my family and I, not the other way around. You are a true inspiration and would love to meet you one day :-)<br /><br />cheers,<br />Leoni - Just call me MarthaLeonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14869749941913292004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8900098247380373589.post-25802636749880824822011-11-30T22:26:09.500+11:002011-11-30T22:26:09.500+11:00Jacki - this happened to me in July - a year into ...Jacki - this happened to me in July - a year into my business. My family got left behind and I turned into a screaming banshee. I set some boundaries and rules around my time and have not wavered from it. And now the balance is much better. xxxPennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04426087213110191042noreply@blogger.com
