Tracy Takes the Cake is a humour blog about the every day. I describe it as a tasty mix of whatever is on my mind! I am a Canadian girl with a quirky take on life. My husband and two teenagers give me a great deal of material to work with. I also reflect upon my life as a kid growing up in a small town. No matter the subject, every can relate in some way!
