What to do?

Yesterday we had another beautiful day in Napa. I am squeezing as much of this in before I have to leave it! We went to Robert Sinskey of course, and then we went to the most fabulous winery ever Paraduxx. When we got there we were the only ones there. The tastings were pretty expensive ($20-30), so we decided to share one. They gave us a free tasting each of one of their white wines. Next 4 we tasted were their blend and we tasted the same blend just 4 different years. We sat outside on super comfy couches and chairs and sipped our wine, and ate off the cheese platter they gave us. Aiden was able to play in the rocks, and Stella crawled around the couches. The nice man who served us, Luke, came and sat down and talked with us almost the entire we were tasting. His wife is about to have a baby girl in June, so he was enamored with Stella. I personally enjoyed his company because he looked like Gavin Newsome, and as most everyone knows I kind of love that man (looks not so much politics!). After our tasting our friend Jaime decided since we were having such a wonderful time we should share the next tasting as well. Our new friend Luke decided to let us have it for free (taking my kids to Napa with me is the best thing I could ever do!). So we enjoyed some more wonderful wine and we decided since they have been so hospitable we were going to have to buy a bottle. The only downside is their wine is really expensive. $30 was the cheapest bottle, so that's what we got! Even after our second tasting he kept bring out wine for us to try. Luckily the three of us were sharing! While we were there the place completely filled up, so luckily we got there early and got extra attention. We spent almost 2 hours there and it was a wonderful experience. I plan on sending them a thank-you note and letting them know how much we enjoyed it. We will be adding that stop to our trip from now on.

Aiden has been eating with us every night. I have been very proud of him. He has had some throwing up instances, and a few crying spells, but no huge fits. He chose not to eat dinner last night (hamburgers), so he did go to bed a little hungry. Tonight is pork loin and baked potatoes, we will see how that goes. I decided I would make all of Stella's baby food and we are starting with carrots. I cook some and pureed them up last night. She has already had 2 servings today and she loves them. She starts screaming if we don't get it in her mouth fast enough. I am determined to make sure she has different eating habits then her brother has!!

Now on to my subject of what to do.....

I have been a little discouraged because no one is buying my cakes! I know its early, but I don't know if there is other things I should be doing to market them better. I do think once we move to Texas it will be much easier to sell them because I have so many more contacts, but I would love to sell some while we are here. I have decided for now to start selling slices at Corny's work. I am thinking I will sell them for $4 a piece. Corny will make a sign up sheet, take orders, and then deliver them. I am hoping that will be a little boost. Anyone else have any suggestions?? I know that it takes time, and I should be patient. Patience is just not one of my gifts! I will let y'all know how the slice selling goes. Hopefully I can get started on that this week.
