Oh, the smiles I got this morning when I said....

Only 10 weeks of School left!!



(But, this kind of news makes this momma sad because that will mean I will have a 6th grader, 2nd grader, and a KINDERGARTNER!)

"Let them eat cake"

Even though it was the first day of Spring Saturday the weather had other plans....yuk. A very cold and rainy weekend. You could tell that everyone at the Reed house was in a funk so what turned that around?

My mom's amazing Strawberry Cake! It was De-lish!

COMBINE AND BLEND IN MIXER. SPOON INTO A PREPARED BUNDT PAN:

4 EGGS

1 (3 OZ) PACKAGE STRAWBERRY JELLO
2 TABLESPOONS FLOUR
1 (18 1/4 OZ) PACKAGE WHITE CAKE MIX
1 1/4 CUP CHOPPED STRAWBERRIES (I CUISINARTED THEM)

BAKE 325 DEGREES FOR 50 MINUTES

GLAZE

1/2 STICK BUTTER (I used the whole stick to make it more like frosting)
