To my bakery family,
For the last few months, I’ve been walking through something deeply personal, and I’m finally ready to share it. I was diagnosed with Stage 2 cancer three months ago.
This has been one of the hardest and most humbling seasons of my life. Between treatments, appointments, exhaustion, and trying to still show up for my family and this little bakery that means so much to me, life has looked very different lately.
If you’ve noticed slower replies, shorter hours, missed messages, or moments where I seemed absent — this is why.
Telling my husband and children “I have cancer” wasn’t exactly on my bingo card for life. Processing it all has taken time, strength, tears, and a whole lot of courage I didn’t know I had. And honestly, I would not be standing here without Ryan and the kids carrying me through the darkest moments.
But through all of this, baking has still felt like love. Community. Normalcy. Hope.
Your support — whether it’s ordering bread, sharing posts, sending prayers, checking in, or simply continuing to show up — means more than I can ever properly explain.
I’m still here. Still fighting. Still baking when I can. One day at a time.
Thank you for loving this bakery and for loving me through this season too.
