Christmas time with the Lamps (Beyond the Kitchen)

Merry (belated) Christmas!

Juggling my business (filling orders, blogging, tweeting, facebook, etc.) and family is a lot to handle on a typical day. But throw a HUGE holiday in the mix and it all goes haywire!

Last minute orders (including orders much larger than normal),

holiday boutiques, family and friend request.

Out of town guest, class parties and performances.

Holiday parties, and playing Santa.

Something had to give.

So blogging, tweeting and facebook got put on hold.

But I'm back!

Here are some photos from Christmas time with the Lamp Family!

My Favorite Things!

As a wife and mother I have many jobs (cook, house cleaner, tutor, personal assistant, etc..)

But when I am in the kitchen baking, or doing anything that has to do with Cravings, that is ME time.

Baking and making desserts is my passion. So I thought it would be fun to make a quick list of items that I LOVE.

Oprah does it, so why not!

Here are a few of my Favorite Things .... as a baker!

Number One:

A MUST have for all who dream

of one day baking for the world to taste.

Martha Stewart's Cake Platters!

What inspires me!

My kids of course!
Jacob(7) and Damon (5).

My boys are why I do what I do!

When Jacob was 3 he was diagnosed with Autism and ADHD.

Children with special needs require A LOT of lovin,

and it can be pretty ruff to be a sibling of a child with Autism.

Everything I do is so I can be home with them

and give both of them all the love and attention I can.
They are so much fun, and fill my life with laughter!

Something that inspires me this time of year... CRAFTS!

Especially the ones the kids bring home from school during the holidays.

Check out this ADORABLE pumpkin my lil guy made me at school!

Its made with a TOILET PAPER ROLL!

Here is the link on how to make it!

Pumpkin Sugar Cookies!!!

I am a Christian, a wife, and a mommy.

I created Cravings by Wendy, after years of creating sweet treats and baking goodies. It is a passion of mine, and there was no better way to help me stay home with my boys!

I love what I do,

and I put everything I have into making

every product beautiful and delicious!

I have had the opportunity to create treats

for every kind of event from

birthday party candy tables and charity fundraisers,

to corporate events.

Cake pops, Sugar cookies, Pretzels rods and more!

I take every opportunity to try out new ideas and designs.

I am very excited to use this blog as way to show you all my creative process, including updates on what I'm working on, my inspirations, and new products that just HAVE to be shared!
