Welcome To Our Crazy Life

We are the Colls and this is about our life with our triplets. My name is Sandi and my husband's name is Kevin. We got married on Feb. 7, 2004 and instantly started trying to have a baby. 5 years, many tears and loads of help later we found out we were having not one, not two, but three babies!

Braedan, Teagan and Sean bounced into our lives on Nov. 12, 2008 and everything has been turned upside down, flipped sideways and scattered about since then. I’m not going to sugar coat it....it wasn’t easy in the beginning. The NICU, late nights, screaming babies, being thousands of miles from our families because we were stationed in Hawaii, exhaustion and then Kevin deploying to Afghanistan for 6 months the day the kids turned 6 months old......not fun.

But now they are getting older and Kevin has been medically separated from the Marine Corps and we've moved to NY to be closer to family. It's great to finally have family around...... especially now that we've hit the TERRIBLE TWOS triple time!

Even though we are close to family now, we are still learning to survive life with triplets.

1st Real Client for Cupcakes



I've ben making cupcakes for friends like crazy. I love making the and I love when people love what I make! A friend came to me a few weeks ago and asked if she could hire me to make cupcakes for her friends Baby Shower. Of course I said yes! The shower colors were chocolate brown and hot pink. They wanted something chocolate, something vanilla and buttercream frostings. I couldn't do it plain, so I made my favorite Vanilla Bean cupcakes and topped those with a Vanilla Meringue Buttercream and gold edible glitter and then I made Dark Chocolate Sour Cream cupcakes and topped those with a rich Chocolate Buttercream and silver edible glitter. They tasted great! The meringue was insanely smooth! Kevin was happy that I made a few extras for him to have!
