Amidst the busy summer, it was an absolute joy to spend some time with Tracey, Danielle and two great photographers at the WPIC Headshot Extravaganza! I rarely take pics of myself while working events so it was a real treat to dress up and feel great while striking a pose. 😊

Running a small biz has given me joys, life lessons, resilience, and so many amazing opportunities and friendships, including new friendships the industry that blossomed this past year. Whether I'm dressed to impress or cozied up with my laptop in jammies, a top knot bun, I couldn't have asked for a better journey from day 1 of opening to present day.

Thank you to all of the amazing vendors who joined forces to create the beautiful spaces and decor! And thank you to all of the friends, fam and fans who've journeyed with me. ❤️🙏

Lights, camera...! Tonight, we begin the first of four classes in the After School Baking Program with a community agency. This is my third year teaching children and youth baking skills, food safety, decorating skills etc. and it's something I very much look forward to.
