Homemade Peach Jam

My husband and three year old love peaches!  I believe they would both eat peach cobbler daily if it was in the house.  I have lived in Colorado for four years now and have most recently discovered Palisade peaches.  My three year old calls the peaches "tasty." I would agree with my bright young boy.  They are extremely tasty.  This is my second year of buying a couple of boxes, one box to eat, one to freeze.  However, we purchased three boxes this year.  One to eat, one to freeze, and I thought I would make jam with the third box.  Below is the jam directions I used which can be found in the box of most fruit pectin.

Bubble Guppies Birthday Party

My little boy just turned three.  I can't even believe it!  One of his favorite shows is Bubble Guppies.  Because he has a summer birthday, it was perfect.  We went to a public park that has a huge splash pad.  The kids loved it.  We had Bubble Guppies themed food and snacks.

The Cake:  I had a little help with a sore bought confetti cake.  I thought it looked like colored "bubbles."  I made the buttercream icing from scratch.  Make sure you use gel food coloring with the icing.  I ordered the edible icing sheet online and had it customized.
