We are back!!!

I debated waiting until next Tuesday to send this, so that we can get back to our regular scheduled programming... but I can't help myself. It's been too long and I've missed you all!

I don't even know where to start.

An update on my life update

So I still can't announce something that I am DYING to announce to you all.

Let's just say that it is BIG and super exciting... and I signed an NDA. That's how big it is!

I still promise - as soon as I can say something, you will all be the first to know. It's worth the wait.

Thank you!

I really appreciate your patience while I've had to put the newsletter on hold the last couple of months. Many of you reached out and I can't say how much it means to me, knowing that our community is here and going strong.

My Little One turned 4

The cliche that the days are long but years are short, is the understatement of the decade. Is she even a toddler anymore? I guess not! You might have seen us braving the weather this weekend to attempt an outdoor party.

I'll take any excuse to bake 72 cinnamon rolls, 130 macarons, over 200 different cookies and 5 types of cake!

The bottom line

  • We are back!
  • Weekly newsletter will start up again on Tuesday, September 16
  • Incredibly BIG and EXCITING things will be announced soon

I can't wait to continue popping into your inbox and baking for you all!

San Gennaro Festival

It's back! Head to Little Italy (what's left of it!) to enjoy the festival. Not sure I have any specific places I'd recommend to get a cannoli (I'm picky!), but it's a fun event to take the kids to!

What Saved my sanity this week...


Time Timer

LIFE CHANGING. My little one is obsessed with setting the timer to 'get ready for bed', 'get ready for school', '15 minutes of TV time'... the list goes on. She's also sneaky enough to figure 'add minutes' every now and then, but because of the visual element, it's easy to see when she's attempted to fool me!

What we are Reading this week...


"Unicorns are the Worst!' by Alex Willan

This is adorable!! I have loved reading this book. We just had a unicorn themed birthday for my Little One's 4th birthday and I thought it might convince her to change to a goblin themed party - no luck!

What I am obsessed with this week...


"Selena Gomez" Good Hang - Podcast with Amy Poehler

Recently discovered this podcast and love it! It's now in my regular rotation each week
