Cupcakes Are Boss: 8 Creative Business Lessons From The Kitchen
I started baking cupcakes about 10 years ago.
Back then we were living in the Los Angeles area, the original mecca of the cupcake shoppe craze, and it was just a thing one grew accustomed to. I kept hearing about the BEST cupcakes ever and, depending on who I was talking to, those cupcakes existed at no less than 12 different shoppes.
Week In Review no. 4
Oh HAAAYYY Labor Day!
Short & sweet week in review for you guys. It was a hustle week to be sure, but lots of goal setting, long-term strategy planning, and dreaming about the next 10 years got me SO excited about what's to come. And I had a date night with my husband, WHUT?!

I've been away for three and a half days and that's too long this time.

My favorites from around the web.
I'm writing this roundup on a Saturday. In my pjs. Under a blanket. Because I CAN. Saturdays have long been sacred, in theory, for my little family of 4.
