Now into my sixth year of business, I look back and realize there's never been a year where there's not "something else" going on or some sort of expansion. Year one- moving into a home and planning a wedding; year two and three- having a baby and building a house; year four- selling lipsense/senegence products; year five- adding a women's boutique....so it only seems fitting that year six has something in store too right?
So what's your guess?
No more suspense...Steph's Sweet Treats is growing with baby number two due on August 23rd! I feel like keeping the secret was even harder this time around!

If you are wondering how this will impact the business side of life I can tell you a few things I am expecting/planning for:
-Like I did with Wyatt, I plan to take and fill orders as far into my pregnancy as possible. I filled them up until the weekend I went into labor with him and I let everyone ordering know the situation so they could "order at their own risk."
-With Wyatt I filled orders two days after returning from the hospital.....looking back I see how crazy this was. I also see how impossible that will likely be with a newborn AND a toddler. I took Wyatt in with me to do all my work, but taking two in is far more difficult. So I plan to play that by ear. I for sure am doing weddings/all the weddings I have booked. As for other orders, I may not take orders during the week right away and may put a stricter cap on weekend orders.
- Because of the order cap I am thinking of and not doing the middle of the week orders right away, I hope to make open days a little bigger/extend the open hours when I get back to doing them IF I can get the foot traffic. Right now foot traffic dies at 10am because people are use to be being out of product after that.
Like I said, kind of playing this by ear. Please don't hesitate to contact me for your orders, but also don't be surprised if I am booked or limited on flavors or what I can make for you after baby number two is born or towards the end of summer. While I'm on the subject of contacting me, know that email or facebook message is the best and fastest way to contact me. Stopping what I am doing and finding time to take or return phone calls (in quiet) can be a challenge. Also give me as much information in your messages as possible- date you need the order, what you are interested in, how many people you are feeding, etc. This allows me to respond one time and give you as much information as possible without having to go back and forth searching for the information I need from you.
