It is hard to believe that it has been 3 years since I wrote my first post. This site has gone through a lot of changes over the past few years, but one thing has not changed. I have the best readers in the world!! I&#8217;m not exaggerating one bit, I look forward to every comment and email I receive. Over the years I have even been able to chat on the phone and meet some of you in person. \u00a0Lifelong friendships have come from this little blog!<\/p>\n<p>While blogs don&#8217;t exist because of readers, they wouldn&#8217;t be very fun to write if no one was reading, so thank you for making these past three years awesome!<\/p>\n<p>Even though it is my blog birthday, I think you should get the gifts! I couldn&#8217;t think of a better way to celebrate than to give you some of my favorite things! For the next week I&#8217;m going to be giving away my favorite things on the blog, <a target = \"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/facebook.com\/thehappyhousewife\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>, <a target = \"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/happyhousewife\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>, and to <a href=\"http:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/subscribe\/\" target=\"_blank\">subscribers<\/a>! On Friday I have an amazing gift I want to give to one reader&#8230; but you&#8217;ll have to check back on Friday to see what favorite thing I am giving away.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s a birthday without cake? For me it isn&#8217;t a birthday at all since I don&#8217;t like ice cream. To get the celebration started I&#8217;m giving away one of my favorite cake ebooks!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/real-life\/files\/2011\/01\/Screen-shot-2011-01-23-at-5.16.57-PM.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-17165\" src=\"\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/real-life\/files\/2011\/01\/Screen-shot-2011-01-23-at-5.16.57-PM-227x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/real-life\/files\/2011\/01\/Screen-shot-2011-01-23-at-5.16.57-PM-227x300.png 227w, https:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/real-life\/files\/2011\/01\/Screen-shot-2011-01-23-at-5.16.57-PM.png 263w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 227px) 100vw, 227px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a target = \"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/lifeasmom.com\/learn-to-make-more-cool-cakes\" target=\"_blank\">More Cool Cakes <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Not only does this e-booklet include the basics to making home decorated cakes yourself, but it also includes recipes for buttercream frostings and for doctoring up cake mixes as well as over a dozen different cake and cupcake themes that you can duplicate or use as inspiration for your own custom variations.<\/p>\n<p>What I LOVE about Jessica&#8217;s cakes is that you don&#8217;t have be a professional decorator to make them!
