On Monday I was getting tired of how long Jayden’s hair was getting and just wanted to trim it up a bit. I’m no hair dresser, NEVER claimed to be one; but I though “what could it hurt?!” I questioned myself A LOT, was I really capable of giving my son a little trim? Was I going to have to get it fixed once I was finished? After the first snip, I couldn’t really think about it anymore… I had already begun to either make my son look like a freak or give him that nice cut I had envisioned in my head. (It always looks better in your head).
So we sat Jayden down (cookies in hand) and started trimming away. He did really well, I was so proud of him! I didn’t take too much off, just enough around the ears and some off the back and bangs. I did what I thought was best and honestly, I think it turned out pretty good! I’m sure if you looked SUPER close you would find problems with my cutting… but I can’t worry about that now.
Here is my big boy right after, cookies on face and all. It took A LOT of cookies ;)
My second attempts of trying something new were decorating my first cake after my decorating class last night. For those who don’t know, the hubby was amazing and bought me cake decorating classes for Christmas and I was super excited to do them. Again, I’m no cake boss but I really had fun doing it! It was my first attempts at a rose and flowers. I also made the icing from scratch!
My family will get to enjoy it at family dinner tonight so that is why I wrote family on it. Hope you all are having a fantastic week!

I think you did great on both! Good for you for trying new things!
my hubby tried to find me cake decorating class in my area for christmas, but couldn't find any that were reseaonable price. so jealous of you! the hair looks great and the cake as well! :)
Lyr, jaydens hair looks great!!
and that cake?!?? SO GOOD!!!!!
Congrats on your new successes! :)
Lyr, they both look great! I'm not one to try new things either, for the same reasons, but when Dylan was about 18 months old people started telling how beautiful my daughters were. So I stuck him in his high chair and I cut his hair. I wish now that I'd have thought of the cookies, lol, but it turned out a lot like J's. Really cute! I've missed you... :)
YAY your cake looks supercute I'm an on the side cake decorator so if you ever have any questions just holler :)
He is just so cute with his big brown eyes and cookies all over his face :-) I think his hair looks just fine! And little boys aren't supposed to be perfect anyways :-) They're boys! lol
his haircut turned out cute!! love his little messy chocolate face ;)
the cake looks yummy!! you did good!
you did an awesome job on jayden's hair and on the cake! way to go lyr! i'm so proud of you for stepping out!
Jayden's hair looks great! I bet the cookies were a great distraction for him! Maybe I should give my husband cookies when I try to trim his hair! :) ha.
Great cake! :) Impressed!
Impressed!!! :) You did great on the hair and the cake, too! I couldn't do either!!
Look at those big brown eyes! He is so cute!
The cake looks amazing, great job!
I think you did a great job on both!! I could never make a cake look that good!
Great job on the haircut AND the cake! Mmm...cake!!! ;)
You are so awesome! Keep trying new things. I was in the same boat as you, terrified to try new things for the fear of failure. Once I stepped out of the fear I realized there is nothing to be afraid of. Keep trucking lady! The cake looks DELICIOUS! Great job!!!
:::great::: job on the haircut and the cake!
look at you go!
i can't do either...
i admire you..
i tried to cut my husbands hair once.
Once!
He looked awful!
I felt bad.i was laughing so hard. i was crying.couldn't see what I was doing... and he looked like someone who was going through a science experiment with a mad scientist! His hair had huge chunks missing...it was awful and darn right funny at the same time..{ I'm actually snickering as i'm typing this..LOL!!}
I think stepping out of your comfort zone was a HIT! The haircut and the cake look amazing - WAY TO GO!
I too suffer with stepping out of my comfort zone (or as my hubby says "veering off my straight line"). It takes a lot to get me out of that zone, but since I turned 30 (3 years ago) I've found it much easier to do. I'm not sure if I don't think about it as much, if I don't let whatever consequences MIGHT happen bother me, or what it might be. There are still times I get really nervous, but I push through those nerves and just veer off my straight line.
whoa...I am VERY impressed with your cake decorating talents! Looks great :)
That cake seriously looks fabulous! :) I love it!
Jayden's hair, also fabulous! :) I cut hubby's hair most of the time (just did last night)... It's a money saver when he has to get his hair cut every 1-2 weeks to be within regulations! Ha :)
Hope you enjoy your family dinner!
Great job! Jayden's hair looks so adorable, and would you mind to send a piece of that cake my way?? YUM!
Way to go on both the hair & the cake...I for one would definitely be nervous trying to cut hair!
The cake and Jayden's hair both look great!! I got cake decorating classes for Christmas too, but haven't found one that works in my schedule yet. I can't wait to see more of your creations!
Great job on both tasks. Wow I couldn't keep Hayden still enough to cut his hair...yay for Jayden!!
The cake looks yummy!
I cut my son's hair once. It did not turn out good! He has curls and I hacked them all off. I cried. Jayden's hair looks great and the cake is super cute!
I wish my face looked like Jayden's because that would mean LENT WAS OVER and I could eat SWEETS again!
Oiy. It just started! I am a dead cookie.
Wow that cake looks awesome!!!
Thanks, as always, for stopping by my blog. In regards to me being featured, someone from the website just sent me an e-mail and asked me to do it.
Both of your projects came out fantastic. Don't sell yourself short. It seems like you're more talented then you give yourself credit for. Own it :)
Wow!! You did a really great job with his haircut (which is so cute by the way), and with the cake!!! It looks like something you'd buy at a bakery!
Beautiful work on all accounts!
