Shh. Mommy’s taking a nap. Her blood sugar went crazy again. That’s why my sister, Lily and I are here today. My name is Rose. Rose Isabella Thompson. Mom says my entire name a lot. She must really like it. Maybe better than Lily Alexandra. She doesn’t say it as much.

Anyway, Mom wanted to blog real bad today. She’s says it’s good promo, whatever that is, for the Wedding Belles. That’s where Mom works. The Wedding Belles. She’s a cake fairy, you know. She makes the best cakes in the universe and people come from all over Boston to buy them. She works real hard since Daddy died. That’s why Lily and me are going to help her today. But don’t wake her. It’s a surprise.

I think my mom has a new boyfriend. I don’t like him. He’s trying to take my daddy’s place. Mom says he’s not a boyfriend, but I’m eight years old. I know about that kissy stuff. Yuck! Lily likes him, too, but she’s just a dumb kid. She’s a whole five minutes younger than me! Mom’s boyfriend is Doctor Cooper Sullivan. He knew my daddy. I have this puppy named, well, Puppy, but he’s invisible, see. And he’s going to bite Dr. Cooper Sullivan if he doesn’t stop coming over here.

Okay, sorry. I have to get busy. Lily gets nervous when we work in Mom’s kitchen, so I have to take charge. Mom left this chocolate mousse cake recipe out on the counter. Lily says it’s weird to put a mouse in a cake. I guess it’s a surprise for the bride when it pops out, but I don’t know where to get a mouse. Except I have a toy one. I’ll put that in with the eggs and sugar.

What do you think? Isn’t beautiful? Won’t Mom be surprised?

Love,
Rose Isabella Thompson

PS Last week Mommy forgot to post the goth cake. She couldn’t find the picture. I know why, but I’m not telling.
