• A little message from Bread & Blessings •
I wanted to hop on here and share a little update about Bread & Blessings and some changes I may be making moving forward!
First and foremost, I want to say how incredibly THANKFUL I am for everyone who has supported this little dream of mine. When I first opened, I was completely blown away by the love and support from our community. Selling out on opening days and seeing so many people excited about my baked goods was something I never could have imagined. It truly meant the world to me! ❤️
As time has gone on, I’ve started learning more about the ups and downs that come with owning a small business, especially one that revolves around freshly baked goods.
Something I’ve been navigating lately is figuring out how much to prepare for each bake day. There have been days where I’ve spent hours baking, preparing different flavors, staying up late, and getting everything ready, only to have quite a bit left over at the end of the day.
And while that’s just part of running a business, I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t a little discouraging at times.
Baking is something I genuinely LOVE, and being able to turn that passion into something that also helps provide for my family has been such a blessing. But as a mama, wife, and small business owner, I’ve also realized how important it is to be intentional with my time, energy, and finances.
With the cost of ingredients, the hours spent preparing everything from scratch, and the possibility of having baked goods go to waste, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about what would make the most sense for Bread & Blessings moving forward.
So, I’m considering transitioning to a preorder-based system!
My thought is to release a menu either weekly or every other week, allow customers to place their orders ahead of time, and then have designated pickup days.
This would help me better plan how much to bake, reduce food waste, and make sure I’m using my time and resources wisely, while still being able to offer all the homemade goodies you guys love!
I also want to make something very clear. This is in NO way a reflection of how grateful I am for the support I’ve received. ❤️
I know everyone has their own schedules, budgets, and priorities, and I would never want anyone to feel like they have to purchase something to support me. A kind word, a shared post, a recommendation, or even just following along with my little bakery means more than you know.
I’m simply learning that sometimes running a small business means making adjustments along the way, and that’s okay!
I’ve poured so much love, prayer, time, and effort into Bread & Blessings, and I truly believe God has a purpose for this little business. I’m trusting Him to guide me as I figure out what this next season looks like. 🤍
I’m not giving up on Bread & Blessings. I’m just learning how to make it work in a way that’s sustainable for both my business and my family.
Thank you for being here, for cheering me on, and for supporting this dream in whatever way you have. I appreciate you all more than words can express!
I would also LOVE to hear your thoughts on having weekly or biweekly preorder menus with designated pickup days!
I hope everyone has a beautiful and blessed day! Love you all! ❤️
