Yes , I totally know I just got 2020 year in review out .
This time 2021 gave me a new direction in life. I was more punctual.
Wes is still working from home. it has been great; he has been flexible to workwatch Arthur or charlotte if I have a meeting or dr appointment. him having his own office is awesome, cause the door shuts and I don't have to see him. but then he emerges and it's like awww, I missed you and I can kiss you.
Arthur is on his second year of preschool. I did hold him back from kindergarten. It was a decision I made after doing a bunch of asking of teachers and they just said boys do better if they have a summer birthday nearing the deadline, to hold them back another year for them to grow and adjust. It is January and I feel like if Kindergarten started in February, he would be ready, but last September, no way.
My job as a parent is to put my kids into a situation where they feel they can succeed. big guy turned 5 too it was so fun cause he got Minecraft and thought it was so cool cause it was a big kid game.
In June- I shifted all my cake energy to people energy. by that I mean being super involved with my community, my child's education, and setting myself up to be a voice of change and action when the time comes. yes. you are feeling those feels correctly. I have my sights set on a mayoral campaign in a few years. and my heart is leading me towards just some kind of a community leadership position, it doesn't have to be Mayor however Madam Mayor Miller is awesome right?

So I am still doing private cake classes and teaching cake decorating courses, but as far as custom cake orders- I need to love you on a deep level to bust out a cake for you. Here were a few classes I did in 2021
Charlotte started piano during the school year and it was to take the place of gymnastics. I loved gymnastics for her- I truly believe it had a profound impact on her confidence.

But she loves piano lessons, and she had a recital in the Fall where they got to wear their Halloween costumes. she was so excited. and she did so awesome. Grandma and Grandpa even made the trip to watch her recital.
