Hello all my lovelies! 💖
I’ve been a little quiet since the Cisco TX Pie Fest, and I wanted to check in and say a massive THANK YOU to everyone who came out! It was such a wonderful event, but it definitely took everything I had. 🥧✨

As some of you know, I live with Rheumatoid Arthritis (a sneaky autoimmune disease that affects the whole body, not just joints), fibromyalgia, and CRPS. By the time I made it home on Saturday, my body staging a full protest—I could barely walk, and was dealing with violent chills, muscle spasms, a migraine, and major brain fog.

I am FINALLY feeling better, but keeping up a hectic pace over the last several weeks finally caught up with me. To make sure I can keep baking up magic for you all winter long, I am listening to my body and taking this week off to fully rest.

Because of this, I will NOT be at The Brownwood Artisan Market this Saturday (Oct 24th). 🛑
I also happen to have my Brownwood High School 40th class reunion Saturday night, so the extra rest ensures I can actually enjoy catching up with old friends! 🦁🎉

But being down hasn't stopped my mind from baking! While resting, I’ve been hard at work planning the next delicious chapters:

🍁 New Thanksgiving-Inspired Cookies are dropping for November! You are going to absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE them!

🥧 Thanksgiving Pre-Orders will be opening up very soon so you can lock in your holiday treats.

🎃 Saturday, October 31st: I will be back in action for a very special, fun-filled day at Shaw’s Marketplace!

Thank you all so much for your incredible grace, understanding, and sweet support. Take care of yourselves, and I can't wait to see your smiling faces at Shaw's for Halloween! 🕸️🍬
