Jett and Tucian arrived in the afternoon. “I heard someone needs a baking assistant?” Jett called, closing the door behind him.
“In here!” Avery called back from the kitchen. “Help!”
Jett and Tucian ran to the kitchen. There was white powder everywhere. The boys waved their hands around, tried not to inhale the dust, and walked in.
“Amara!” Tucian called. “You in here? Oof!” He grunted as something hit into him. He grabbed hold of familiar arms and pulled what he assumed was Amara into his own arms.
“Sorry!” Amara cried.
The powder started to settle to the floor and Jett saw Avery. “There you are!” Jett cried, reaching his hand out to her. She took his hand with a frown. They were all thoroughly covered in white powder.
“What happened?” Tucian looked down at the frosty woman in his arms.
“Amara happened!” Avery yelled. “This is why she isn’t allowed to cook!”
Amara thought she might have been mad at her, then Avery broke out laughing. She let out a long sigh of relief and smiled, her pink gums showing bright against the white.
“What?” Jett looked at Avery. “What is this stuff?”
“It’s flour,” Amara answered. “I was trying to help with Mom’s cake for tonight. I failed.”
“Epically,” Avery confirmed. “You are now, officially banned from any kitchen activity.”
“Yeah, that seems fair,” Amara agreed.
“How are we going to clean all this up? And is there any flour left for the cake?” Jett worried.
“There will be plenty left, don’t you worry. And leave the cleanup to me. I got skills.” Avery smiled and began waving her hands in circles.
Purple sparks swirled around the kitchen, sweeping the flour in breezy loops. It whisked the flour from every surface and person. It pulled Amara and Avery’s hair, stripping every last bit of flour, then poured their hair back down around their shoulders. Amara giggled as her hair was pulled and dropped. Tucian watched her in delight as the purple sparks swept over her and she twisted and turned with them.
After a few minutes, all the flour had been cleaned up.
“Sorry again, Avery,” Amara said shyly. “I really was trying to help.”
“That’s alright. But I think you better find something else to do while Jett and I make Mom’s cake now.”
“Will do.” Amara laughed and led Tucian out of the kitchen.

Hey there. I'm Wendy. Thanks for taking some time to visit my site. It’s been redone from the original mom/crafting blog it started out as.
I'm a stay at home mom. My husband and I have two beautiful daughters. Some days are a little overwhelming. But all days with my girls, overwhelming or not, are cherished. There are no words for the bond I share with them. I try to never forget how blessed I am to be their mommy.
I probably have the strongest sweet tooth ever. I have an ever present craving for brownies. Also, a great love of chocolate milk. I'm a huge fan of the Oxford comma. Gotta separate those items! Another favorite is Halloween. I don't like all the gory things but I really love dressing my girls and myself up. I make most of our costumes and look forward to it all year. Rain is my absolute favorite weather, as you might have guessed.
I don't consider myself a DIYer. But I was always taught, "Don't buy what you can make." So if I see something I like I try to figure out if I can make it before considering buying. I only have basic sewing and crafting skills, but I get by and will continue improving.
I adore makeup and fashion and am trying to improve my sewing skills to do more diverse things than kids clothes. I want to start making beautiful gowns and costumes for my friends and family for fun. Maybe someday I can make a business from it. For now it’s just a hobby and I hope you enjoy what I come up with.
You’ll also see a lot of writing excerpts on here. I love writing. I've written a couple books in a series and that'll be what I post the most of. I mostly do modern fictional fantasy. I keep everything very PG-13. I don’t write anything more mature than that. I feel like the adult book market is all books that would be rated R or Christian category. I want something in the middle. So I write in the middle. It’s not young adult or Christian, but it isn’t rated R either.
I’m going to post my creative endeavors in writing and sewing, which might include sketches of sewing ideas, on here. I hope you find it fun! If you do, drop me a comment.
I am also glad to say I’m a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. You may know it as LDS or Mormon but that’s the proper name and I believe it states far better what our church is about. Sometimes I struggle to get to church on Sundays but I do have a strong testimony. If you have any questions about our religion feel free to ask.
I guess that about covers it. That's me! Enjoy my blog. Don't be afraid to ask questions, give feedback, or leave comments. You can also find me on Tumblr and Pinterest under Rainy Day Darling. See ya around!
