I hope everyone had a wonderful week & weekend! ☀️ (oops I wanted to get this posted Monday night!)
We decided to pack up and head a little south to go camping and tubing on the Platte River! The smoke cleared up just enough over the weekend for us, and it turned into such a fun weekend soaking up all the family time🥳
Since we have been home, I’ve been so excited to get back in the kitchen and start trying all the fun recipes I've been dreaming up!! (Trust me it’s been a busy week!!!) 🤩
One question I get asked a lot is, "How do you find the time to do all of this with three young kiddos?" The honest answer? It takes a lot of planning, staying organized, pausing and restarting a task more times than I can count, and accepting that sometimes things just don't go according to plan. It also means knowing when it's time to slow down and take a break... even when that's easier said than done🫣
The best part is that I get to do something I truly love while still being home with my babies. Every Friday after I finish setting up the stand, you'll usually find the kids and I at Pedaling Beans Coffee House in Lake Leelanau grabbing our "special drinks" before heading home to relax and usually spend the rest of the day outside in the sunshine! It's become our little tradition and my way of saying thank you to them for being so patient while Mom spends some time baking ❤️
I love sharing the behind-the-scenes because I promise it isn't all rainbows and sunshine. Cookies get burned, timers get forgotten, and yes... every once in a while a toy somehow ends up in a pie 😅 That's just life. I've learned that giving grace (to myself and to others) makes all the difference.
So thank you for always giving us grace when the stand opens a little later than planned or when we sneak away for a family weekend trip! Your kindness and support mean more than you know, and we truly couldn't do this without you!
We'll see you all tomorrow at NOON, (YAY!! It’s almost Friday!) WE CANT WAIT! 🫶🏼🎉
