Against The Grain

Y'know...

...maybe the bride shouldn't have ordered a whole wheat wedding cake.

Thanks to Sasha M., for helping us remember the first year is always the harvest hardest.

Update From Jen: 

I see your stalks of wheat, Sharyn, and raise you...

THIS.

Thanks to Robert V. for making like a tree, and swaying in high winds.

(I'd ask you readers who won, but considering these were both wedding cakes, I guess we already know who lost. Heh.)

Update from john (the hubby of Jen) 

Ooh, ooh! My turn!

Sha-POW! Take THAT! Haha!

Thanks to Adrienne H.  for helping me needle my fellow writers. I'm pretty sure I sapped their strength. Also, my house is a bit messy so I should probably spruce up the place!

Three! THREE PUNS!!! AH. AH. AH!

P.S. Need to hide your eyes *and* listen to music or a good podcast? Then check THESE babies out:

Bluetooth Sleep Headphones

I listen to boring audio books on these every night to keep my brain from spinning out of control, which works wonders for my insomnia. I wear them like a sleep mask - like the model here - to block the light, too. These things have been a life saver: comfy enough for side sleeping, not too loud like some of my old speakers, and they only cost $20 Prime. Highly recommend!

And from my other blog, Epbot:

Market "Shares"

When it comes to advertising their goods, this bakery knows just how to squeak by:

IT'S A TRAP!!

Of course, not every label can be so appetizing:

Because "Ball Sack" was just a little too formal.

And speaking of Balzac...

Let's be realistic: It's French. No one will notice.

Now here's a place that knows just how to garner the most business with their promotional mailers:

Yep, blurring out their contact information was definitely the right move.

And finally, this bakery gets the gold star for truth in advertising:

Hey, you can't say they didn't warn you.

Thanks to Michelle M., Julie M., Tiffany H., Naveed & Athena, & Kristen Y. for signing us up.

P.S. Need a sweet gift for the person who has everything? Then how about a card that transforms into a bouquet:

Fresh Cut Pop-Up Bouquet

I've been raving about Fresh Cut Paper for a while now, and they have a bunch of styles to choose from, plus a new pop-up wreath for Fall! Go see!
