Yesterday was supposed to be editing + upload day… but life had other plans 😂Between baking, assembling boxes, and making sure everything was ready for the Children’s Business Fair in Daytona Beach, we realized we didn’t have enough of one of the kids’ favorite flavors. So of course… last minute baking kicked in! We made an extra batch of our “Oops! It’s Not a Cake” cookies and I’m SO glad we did, because that was the very first flavor to sell out today!
Today’s experience? Truly unforgettable. Everything went smoothly. The weather behaved (for a little while), then Florida heat happened, but that didn’t stop us!
Within the first hour, Charlie sold 10 boxes of cookies… He got to meet so many people, and there’s just something special about the way he connects… his confidence, his charm, the way he talks about his cookies… he draws people in and makes them excited to try what he’s created. He’s a natural!
By 12:30pm (just 3 hours in)… SOLD OUT.
We are beyond grateful to our family, friends, and every single person who stopped by, supported, and believed in this little dream. Your kind words, encouragement, and trust mean more than you know.
This wasn’t just Charlie’s success, it was shared with every one of you who showed up for him.
So from the bottom of my heart:
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!
