My 3 reasons why I’m running my own business. My two beautiful daughters and my darling son!
Since having my first, I dreamed of being a stay-at-home mom. But for a long time financially, it just wasn’t possible. I worked in childcare the last 8 years. And let me tell you… I was BURNT out by the end of it. Especially after having children. But don’t get me wrong— I loved building relationships with families, and I even made some new mom friends along the way! However, all I wished was to be able to stay home with my kids and spend more time with them.
For a long time, I prayed about it. Wondering what I could possibly do to work from home that didn’t involve phone calls or being on the computer for 8+ hours a day. Nearly a year ago, the Lord spoke to me and planted the idea of a cookie business. I’ve always had a love for baking. But I’m not a decorater. I don’t have the skills (or patience lol) for that. So then I thought, how about just coming up with crazy flavors? Basically like Crumbl, but a thousand calories less 😂
I started my cookie journey back in January. It started off pretty good but then I realized there was SO much more work involved than I realized. I was not prepared at ALL. So I took a few months hiatus to recollect myself. This past June, I “relaunched” my business and took it day by day. I did my first vendor event and I was a NERVOUS wreck. I’m not a social butterfly by any means. I had no clue how I was going to “advertise” myself. But it all came naturally to me somehow, and I gained a teeny more confidence as I continued to do more events.
Fast forward to today, the cookie journey is going absolutely amazing. It’s still a little rocky at times, cause I’m still learning so much, but I couldn’t be more stinking proud of myself for making it this far.
I still have WAYYYS to go, but for now, I am just so eternally grateful for all of you who have supported me and helping me get one step closer to making my dream come true.
If you’ve read this far, that’s just a cherry on top. Thank you and God bless. 🩷
