Next Batch of Cupcakes: Part 4

Brianna

"I'm a mom. And it has brought so much joy and pain. The hardest question anyone ever asks me is how many kids I have. Do I answer 2 or 7? I gave birth to sextuplets two and a half years ago. Only one survived.

On my blog, Little Green Pastures, I chronicle my journey through grief and the joy of raising a brilliant son with cerebral palsey and a darling girl who turns 1 this week!

I live life fully, all the while longing for Heaven.

And I really, really like cupcakes."

Meet Donya aka CrookedEyebrow

"I love movies, but one movie I can watch over and over again would be Tommy Boy. Who can resist "fat guy in a little coat?" Definitely not I. "was there a niner in there?" You have to laugh in life, right?

I think I am funnier than I really am and can usually crack myself up on a daily basis, meanwhile my family just rolls their eyes and nods their heads. But I'm cool with it. Hence I am a self-proclaimed dork.

Some may not know that I rode motorcycles in high school and for two years in a row, rode as a passenger in a huge line of Harley Davidsons to our nations capital. Seeing parts of our country on a motorcycle is and was certainly a site I will never forget. Nor the sunburnt face and the bugs on my shirt. (snicker)

I am usually shy and slow to warm up to meeting new people, so why not share an embarrassing story to break the ice?:

When my husband and I first started dating we were still in that somewhat awkward, trying to impress one another phase. Me being a nervous speaker, was trying to find something to talk about as we were driving one night. So I was quietly looking out the window and we pulled up to a stop sign I read the restaurants sign.

Friday special: AYCE fish $11.99

I looked at him and said, " AYCE fish? what kind of fish is that? Like a lake perch?"

I swear time stood still and he stared at me, then cracked a smile and then politely told me, "you mean all you can eat fish dinner?". Oh man, I was so embarrassed. To this day anytime we see AYCE used, we crack up.

See you at Cupcake 10!"



Samara blogs at Simplicity in the Suburbs

"I am a wife, mama and stepmom blogger in suburban MN. In five years time I met and married my husband becoming a wife and stepmom, had a son, lost my mom and had a daughter.

I'm told I have an old soul. I am passionate about living my life everyday with my children in the moment and lose sight and re-remember over and over and over again"
