Hi, friends! How the heck are ya? Sorry I took off last week with no warning; I know that must have been really hard for you. I mean, not knowing where I had gone or if something had happened to me or if you'd ever hear from me again - talk about scary. And devastating. And heartrending! But no worries, I'm back, and bigger than ever! No seriously, I think I gained three pounds from all the cake balls I ate while I totally stalked your blogs.
You've heard of cake balls, I assume. And if not, where the heck have you been!? Living under a rock? Cake + frosting + a chocolaty shell = love (and thunder thighs). I used a dark chocolate cake with orange frosting. Mmmmm. I wonder if there are any left? I may have missed one...
Um, anyway, whatcha been up to lately? I spent last week being lazy and hanging out with my kiddos. I don't do that as much as I should, you know? Obviously we're together. A lot. But we're doing chores or running errands or going to appointments or all that other stuff that has to get done. Last week we just hung out. That's actually why I took a break from blogging. I knew we didn't have many must-get-done items, so I decided to eighty-six the would-like-to-get-done items too. (And also it hit me that my boy will be starting kindergarten in the fall and I kind of panicked about all that time that I could have been hanging out instead of cleaning or scheduling or blogging.) For the most part, it was a fun, slow-paced week full of trains, cars, tag, hide-and-seek, and laughter. I highly recommend it!
And now let's pretend I had a great one-liner to succinctly and wittily wrap up this post. Thanks so much.

Well, you know that I missed you. I could barely get out of bed in the mornings!
I did miss you, but I understand.
I got a great package from Alaska the other day...thank you! Erin and I are getting together tomorrow morning, thanks to you, since we don't do it often enough.
Well, since you were having so much fun with your kiddos, I will forgive you!
How is Alaska this time of year? Cold? Hubby keeps telling me he wants to move there. His profile image is an Alaskan landscape...
Who won hide-and-go seek?
So glad you're back!
I've seen the infamous cake balls before but I've never had the pleasure of sinking my teeth into any myself. If I wasn't trying to shed a few stubborn pounds I'd have to find an excuse to make some!
Mmmmm. Cake balls. Never made 'em, but I must soon.
You were missed. I'm thinking more and more of whittling down the list of blogs I read so I can keep up with the ones I love and hopefully still have time to be a better mom than I have for a while. I really feel like my kids need me right now.
I've never heard of cake balls, but I will be whipping some up this afternoon. Thanks for the heads up.
Glad you had fun with your kids, and glad you're back!!
Hey, we missed you, but so happy ordering your priorities the way you want them.
I tried cake balls once and they weren't really my thing. Maybe because mine were missing a chocolaty shell!!
How fun for your kids that you were able to just chill with them for awhile.
Glad you're back, but we totally understand that the kids are more important. I mean, that's why we do all this anyway...(for posterity, to keep our sanity for them, etc.)
I missed your posts. I'm glad you're back. What a good thing to do though. You rock.
I'd love to use the "being a great mom" excuse as to my lack of blogging this coming week... but somehow turning into the crazy book fair lady twice a year doesn't really count!
would cake balls work with carrot cake and cream cheese frosting... because that sounds like something I MUST have... with a side order of thunder thighs.
You are so cute! I realized my oldest is going to school next year and it freaked me out too. It's my last chance to let her know that we are the best parents and not to listen to the bad kids ;) I hope you had a wonderful time!
P.S. I made cake balls for Christmas plates. Good stuff. Orange frosting? I didn't know they made that!
We did miss you, but we all need those "hanging out" weeks.
Welcome back.
NOT FAIR!!!
Here i was going to say that sharing the cakeball recipe entitled you to forgiveness for any and all offenses...and then I went and looked at it (and googled and looked at a dozen others) and ALL call for a cake mix.
I don't have a cake mix, I cannot get a cake mix out here, I don't even USE cake mixes. Good grief, can't somebody somewhere post a recipe for how to cook from scratch?!
I was actually thinking about you just today.
And cake balls are practically a religion. Blasphemy? Only for people who haven't tried them.
Heck, kid, everything you say is witty! And, yummm to the cake balls--I made them for Thanksgiving AND Christmas and they were amazing!!
I'm glad to see you back! I know what you mean about panic attacks and such when thinking about school in the fall. I've been having them lately too.
Um, cake balls? Send some chocolate and orange ones my way and no one gets hurt.
Seriously, glad to see you again, missed you my friend!
Lara brought over my books today. And the chocolate. Thank you so much! I am taking the traveling pants book with me to France (I'm not saying I'll have time to read for sure, but I'm taking it nonetheless).
I need to take a blog break too, and get things done.
