I know I’ve been a little MIA lately. I was doing a lot of soul searching. This post is a bit long, bear with me.
I began this business just a few months before I lost a child suddenly to myocarditis 6 years ago. This business quite literally helped keep me alive by giving my mind something to focus on. Then It took off more than I could’ve imagined. With that growth came a price that I wasn’t able to see at the time….
Fast forward a few years and COVID hit and all the challenges that arose with owning a nonessential business. I was starting to burn out but didn’t know how to fix it. I thought doubling down was the answer. It wasn’t. 🙈. Eventually moving back home was the smarter financial decision. By this point I’d just had my last baby. I could feel a shift inside myself but was unsure what it meant. All I knew was it had been a few years since feeling that joy of baking. I felt like a failure. When I was working I felt like I was failing my family by being too busy for one person, and always saying “no” to them. When I was focusing on family I felt like I was failing at my business. Can’t let off the gas, you’ll become irrelevant (or so it seemed). I realized I’m an all in kinda gal. Right now my season of life is being all in on my family. My littlest very much needs me more than running a business allows. I want to express my undying gratitude for each and every one of my clients. It has been an amazing experience, and I’ve learned so much about myself in the process. Right now though, I need to take an extended break, so after I complete 2022 I will not be accepting any orders. I have no idea how long this break will be but cookies will be there when I’m ready again. My kids’ childhoods won’t. I hope you all can understand. I have loved serving your families in all their special events. It was truly the best part of my job, seeing pure joy on your faces when picking up for something special. Thank you for your support, and kindness. It means so much.
