I May Not Know Football But I Know Their Colors


If you've seen the movie Steel Magnolias, you may recall the scene where Clariee is live on the radio from the football team's locker room and instead of talking about the game she wants to discuss the color of the team's purple uniforms asking the announcer if he would call their colors "grape" or "aubergine".

I know very little about the game but I wanted to create two FavorCakes for the winning teams so I relied on my sports savvy husband to help me out.

I kind of feel like the craft stores when they bring in Christmas items starting in October, however for a stay at home mom with two little ones to keep up with, staying ahead is a must.

So here's to staying ahead while remembering to still take things one day at a time ;-)
