Doing Cakes Again
I have been baking and decorating cakes professionally for almost 20 years! The trends have changed over the years and continue to change. Some I have embraced and some I would rather not do lol!

To-Do Lists
Along with my Blog “The Professional Domestic” I also have Facebook and Instagram pages under the same name.

I have been absent for a long time and for that I apologize. I am fine and my family is well.

Not Impressed with Our Debt January 2020 Update
Originally I had a good solid “plan” when I started this journey of paying off our debt. Unfortunately that plan is in need of a change.
