Awesome Dad

Awesome Dad

By Saundra Jackson

He taught you how to tie your shoes.

And how to ride a bike.

He sat you on his shoulders when you were just a tyke.

He helped you with your homework when you had to pass a test.

And when your mother told you no.

You knew that he’d say yes.

He cheered you on in little league.

He gave you good advice.

And when you needed extra dough, no need to ask him twice.

On Father’s Day you’ll tell him that he’s such an “Awesome Dad”.

And he’s wished a “Happy Father’s Day”.

The Best he’s ever had.

Hope you had an awesome day with your father. 

I spent it with the "Awesome Fathers" in my family. 

Mother's Day

Inspired by the March 2014 Martha Stewart Living magazine, I tried my hand at making macarons for a treat for my Mother. To give them my own personal touch, I added a few embellishments of drizzling white chocolate over them and then adding pastel sprinkles. I also added a beautiful fondant rose and in between some rich chocolate ganache.

“A wish for Mother’s Day”

By Saundra Jackson   

A multi-tasking wonder

A woman like no other

A woman we all know and love

A woman we call mother.

On Mother’s Day we’ll thank her with sweet sentiments and flowers

For a lifetime of her loving care

In just a few short hours.

“I am just a mom” is what a mom might say.  

But her kids would beg to differ as they celebrate her day.

So here’s a wish for Mother’s Day to moms both near and far.

A wish that you will always know how wonderful you are. 

Wishing my mother and you and yours a Happy Mothers day!
