These cookies have topped the list of my favorite cookies I’ve ever made! I’m obsessed with them!! If you didn’t know, my “real job” is working as a NICU nurse. It is the most incredible, rewarding job yet so challenging in more ways than one. I would never be able to describe what it is like working in a NICU to someone who has never experienced it. These are the tiniest, sickest, toughest babies. They challenge me, teach me and push me to be a better nurse every single day. I am so grateful to be a part of their story and work alongside the best of the best! These cookies were for a group of fellows graduating, some moving on from our NICU, all incredibly intelligent and compassionate, amazing people ❤️ It was so fun trying to cookie-fy some of the machines and equipment we use every day!
This past year cookies went a little on the back burner. I have always continued to take orders but don’t post as much on this page and my response times often were slow. I put a lot of focus into my job this past year, many hours were spent studying to become a certified neonatal intensive care nurse as well as taking many classes to learn how to run dialysis machines on our tiny babies! I became more involved in the unit, joining different committees and planning events for our patients’ families, all of which lead to more hours outside of work, meaning less free time for my cookie business. When I started this business almost 6 years ago I was just a sophomore in nursing school and had no idea where this business or my nursing career would take me. As I look back at it all now I couldn’t be more proud of either 🥹 i am so grateful for every person who has ordered cookies from me or supported me in any way. And for my family, especially my husband, for helping me make boxes or package cookies when I’m in a time crunch, and dealing with my messes 🤩 graduation season has thrown me back into the swing of things as it is always the busiest time of year for me. 38 dozen cookies will be going out this week alone and that is so special 🥹 I would love to get back into vendor events and pop ups, more holiday presales, and posting pictures of my cookie sets more frequently. Hopefully I can hold myself accountable 😉 if there is anything you would like to see from me please let me know! As always, thank you for supporting my small business and for your patience with my one-woman show!
