August Re-Cap

I can't believe it's been nearly a month since my last post.  Even more remarkable is that its been 30 days since I started "New Teacher Orientation".  It feels like that was months ago.  What a whirlwind August has been!  I absolutely love my new job and am so happy going to work everyday.  (Although I did very much enjoy my 3 day Labor Day weekend ;-)  The first month of the new school year has started off fairly typically with lots of teacher workshops & developments, meetings, assemblies, and Back to School Night.  So far everything is going well and I can't wait to see what the year has in store! 

Aside from work, I've kept fairly busy baking.  Here are just a few of the things that I worked on throughout the month of August.
A Special Peanut Butter Pie

                       Cornelli Lace Bridal Shower


Couples Shower Cake 

                                Chocolate Swirl
                                  Banana Bread

                              Mini Peach Pies

Looking back at these photos, and knowing that this is only a fraction of what I baked this month, I'm thinking I may need to tke a break for a bit....Nahh ;-)  I'll finish my post with one of my many highlights of Labor Day Weekend: Riding the ferris wheel at the Forest Park Veteran's Festival.....

Have a great rest of the week and hopefully it won't be another month until you hear from me ;-)
