It's been a minute....ok it's been SEVEN months since my last blog! Huge change considering I used to blog weekly. I know many people enjoyed the more frequent blogging, so I apologize for going so long between blogs if you were one of them! I'm back to make an exciting new business announcement (yes another one) and just to check in since I've haven't been posting orders for the last week.
Why?? Because I forced myself to take a week off....a week! I haven't done that since my honeymoon over 4 years ago. And at that time, I was still in my first year of business so it was far easier to do. Didn't even do that when my son was born...but I did take him to work with me! If you have followed me for awhile, you may know my favorite place to be in is the Northwoods/northern Wisconsin. I haven't been there for two years, or anywhere for that matter....and the last time I was there I was 8+ months pregnant, so I was kind of limited as to what I could do or be comfortable doing. Needless to say, I was far overdue for a little time off.

Even though we came back in the middle of the week, I made the decision to forgo taking orders for the weekend...which is one of the absolute hardest things for me to do. Saying no does NOT come easy for me. I try to be superwoman and say yes to everyone and take all orders, which I have recently been trying really hard to work on. So why not really push myself and not take orders for a weekend?? The weekend! Just the thought of it makes me nervous, so I'm really proud of myself for doing it! The weekend is when most of my orders go out, and while the weekend after the 4th of July isn't usually all that busy, I did have to tell many people that I was going to be off/not filling orders. Fingers crossed these customers love me and are loyal enough to return! If you tried to contact me during this week I was off, I did still try to contact you within a day-thank you for your patience and thank you for the support! Also, for future reference, I hope to keep taking an extended family vacation around the 4th of July every year.
After all this blabbering, you may be wondering...so what's the new business news?? Last year, almost a year ago exactly, I started selling LipSense/Senegence. (My Facebook group is Steph's Cupcake Kisses and you can also order here). It's been so much fun that I've decided to add another business to my little shop! Sprinkled with Style! Click here to join the Facebook group.
I have decided to add a limited selection of women's boutique clothing to the bakery! The clothing will focus on USA made brands- you can shop through the Facebook group, during open days or arrange to stop in and browse. I'm super excited to add this to my shop because I have fallen in love with so many boutiques. I want to continue to buy from and support the boutiques I currently buy from, so I will be doing my best to steer clear of items they have so you can all be exposed to new items and shop as many boutiques as possible. So now you can get your sweets, makeup/skincare and clothing in a one stop shop! I hope you are as excited as I am!
Thank you for another week of orders-and I'm happy to be refreshed and heading into the open day...hope to see you there!
