  7. Happy Birthday! I have been silently following your blog for quite some time and am so amazed at how you can juggle running a family and your job and baking (and everything else) so successfully and gracefully. I am also so amazed at how you so unashamedly profess your religion as well. I’m so inspired by you and not just your baking. Have a very blessed and fulfilling year ahead!
