Sugar Babies

Yep, these got forwarded. Because we all want to think about eating babies when we're trying to answer emails right?--PEF


Here is a little dessert for the imagination,


These are made of cake frosting but who would take a bite?

Thought you'd be as fascinated with these! These are made of marzipan....really unbelievable! While some of the faces may look 'crafted! ' rather than 'real', every detail is amazing, and the rest looks VERY real. Be blessed and enjoy the artist's talent.






Definition of Marzipan Almond paste: a sweet paste made of ground almonds and sugar, often with egg whites or yolks, used as a layer in cakes or molded into ornamental shapes

Tough Love versus Spanking

Most of the American populace thinks it improper to spank children, so I have tried other methods to control my kids when they have one of 'those moments.' One that I found effective is for me to just take the child for a car ride and talk. Some say it's the vibration from the car, others say it's the time away from any distractions such as TV, Video Games, Computer, I Pod, etc. Either way, my kids usually calm down and stop misbehaving after our car ride together. Eye to eye contact helps a lot too. I've included a photo below of one of my sessions with my son, in case you would like to use the technique.




Sincerely,
Your Friend



PS. This works with grandchildren, nieces and nephews as well . . .
