I am a thirty-something, married eight amazing years to my Knight in Shining Armor.  We have one son, Jet, who is five years old, and our daughter Songbird is six months old.  We are Texans, transplanted to New Jersey at the kind invitation of the Army, for whom my husband is a soldier.  I am a former high school science teacher, turned stay at home mom, and loving it… except maybe for the diapers.  And housecleaning.

    Hello! I just wanted to drop by and say ‘thanks’! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment on Antique Mommy’s blog last week that was about advice for new moms. I’ve printed out all of the comments and am saving them to read over and over again! :) I was greatly encouraged by that post. I really appreciated reading your advice about talking to the baby and mentally walking away from the feeling of needing to defend myself…that one will be a challenge! Thanks again!

    By the way, we are in the same neck of the woods!

    Hi there!

    I saw your posting on a Slow Cook for a Year website and was wondering if I could get your Pina Colada Cake recipe…??? There is where I found you originally…
    http://crockpot365.blogspot.com/2008/06/crockpot-coconut-cake-recipe.html

    That cake you described sounds amazing, and I am looking for recipes that use my bottle of Pina Colada mix – I don’t really like Pina Colada drinks. However I am not having much success…

    So I am hoping that you may be able and willing to share???

    Here is the only other good Pina Colada Mix recipe that I found…
    it’s for Red Lobster’s Coconut Shrimp

    Thanks

      Hi Anna!

      Here’s the Pina Colada Cake recipe:

      1/4 cup vegetable oil
      1 box white cake mix (I buy the pudding-in-the mix kind)
      1 1/2 cup water
      2 eggs
      7 oz sweetened, flake coconut, divided
      1 can cream of coconut
      1 medium tub of Cool Whip

      Pour 1/4 c oil into 9×13 cake pan. In a bowl, mix cake mix, water, eggs, and most (about 5 oz) of the coconut. Mix well and pour over oil. Bake 30-35 min at 350.

      Poke holes in hot cake and pour cream of coconut over it. Refrigerate.

      When cold, frost with Cool Whip and sprinkle with remaining coconut. Keep chilled.

      You’ll love it!!!!
