3 years ago today, Harper was in a state pageant. She only was in this state pageant because she had won first place in a local pageant a few months before hand. The director had given me the heads up that Harper may possibly place 1st and if she did, it was required for her to go to states. She knew i was a single mom and she knew states was a lot of money-a $375 registration fees upfront for instance. I sucked up my pride, asked her grandmother for some help, if she won. She agreed. I told the director to continue and Harper won 1st for her age division. Her grandmother sponsored the $375, but then I had to come up with a way to buy all the dresses, shoes, two nights in a hotel/food, a donation item, tickets to the pageant, etc etc. A small trip to disney as i now describe it. We started by homemade peppermint patties, then went to the pb fudge you all love and molasses cookies. We finally hit our end goal! But, my co workers didnt want me to stop baking for them and here we are! A little over 3years later! Although Harper does not do pageants anymore, all (most)money is now set aside and put into her savings! I say most because she does get to occasionally spend it on something that I dont think she needs, usually those silly viral toys. Thank you to every single one of you that have supported us from day one and those that we have met along the way! Summer is a little slower, but i will be posting more once school starts back up. Feel free to message with your custom order any Weds-Friday
