Hi everyone,
I just wanted to make a much needed announcement. I truly love serving the Lafayette community, and I’m so grateful for all of the support this business has received. But the past few weeks have been very eye-opening for me.
At the end of the day, I am ONE person running this business. I don’t have employees, multiple delivery drivers, or a storefront for pickups. I’m simply a single mother raising my three children who decided to start this business to bring something fun and different to the Lafayette area, while hopefully growing it into something bigger over time.
Over the past two months, my baby has been very sick, hospitalized, along with countless doctor appointments and unexpected challenges. Because of that, I’ve unfortunately had to cancel events and orders that were planned weeks or even months in advance.
For the most part, people have been incredibly understanding, supportive, and kind, and I appreciate that more than I can put into words! But unfortunately, a few interactions during this time were extremely distasteful and disrespectful.
I completely understand that cancellations and changes can be frustrating. However, some situations in life are simply outside of our control, and this has definitely been one of them.
With that being said, I would love to continue serving this community and growing this business, but respect and common courtesy truly do go a long way. If you can approach others with kindness and understanding when life happens, I appreciate you more than you know. And if that’s something you aren’t willing to do then I may not be the person you want to work with!
Thank you to everyone who has continued to support me, my family, and my business through all of this. It truly means everything to us!
