Love-4-Layla

I was very fortunate recently to be given the opportunity to help with a fundraiser.  The cousin of my co-worker/good friend Nancy had a baby named Layla a little over a year ago who was born in a rare disorder called Apert Syndrome .  Her little head was shaped like a cloverleaf at birth due to the growth lines in her skull being fused prematurely.  She had her first surgery at 22 days old to relieve the pressure on her brain and to reform her skull.  This little cutie has had 19 surgeries so far in her little life and has many, many more. Nancy and her son Austin decided to throw a fundraiser for Layla's family to help with medical bills and living expenses since Layla's mom quit her job to give Layla the care the she needs.  That's where I got to help.  :) I designed a logo for them which I then had printed on t-shirts at a discount that they re-sold to help raise money for the fundraiser itself.  I was told that Layla's room was...

Cheeeeeeeese!

This was first attempt at making mozzarella cheese. I've not tasted it yet but that will happen soon as we have homemade pizza planned for dinner tonight. Behind the cheese is a batch of buns cooling for pulled pork sammiches tomorrow. :)
