HIVE & HONEY 🍯 BOARDS & BITES 🥐
by at
Five years ago, I felt myself being called to take the biggest leap of my life, leave my stable job, and pursue my passion of helping others celebrate some of the biggest moments in their lives!
Not just to build a business, but to build something meaningful and grow my faith along the way. Something that brought people together around a table, created memories, and gave me the opportunity to serve the community I love.
What I didn’t know then was how much it would cost.
Over the last five years, there have been incredible highs and devastating lows. The loss of our parents, grieving while making sure my business stayed afloat, There were moments I celebrated victories I never thought possible, and moments I sat in complete heartbreak wondering if I would have to start all over again. There were sacrifices nobody saw. Long days. Sleepless nights. Tears. Losses. Setbacks. Starting over more times than I can count.
But today, I finally get to share what all those years of faith, perseverance, rebuilding, and hard work have been leading to!
A place where charcuterie, fresh bites, beautiful boards, and community come together under one roof. This isn’t just a new business. It’s the result of every lesson learned. Every risk taken. Every tear cried. Every person who supported us, Every customer who believed in us before we believed in ourselves. To everyone who has followed The Bougie Brie’s journey, cheered us on, shared our posts, booked a board, attended an event, or simply offered words of encouragement, thank you. You helped build this. This next chapter is bigger than anything we’ve ever done, and we cannot wait to welcome you into our Hive!
🐝 Opening July 1st inside The Block in Rio Rancho.
Here’s to new beginnings, second chances, and proof that sometimes the hardest seasons are preparing you for the sweetest harvest 🙏🏻
With so much gratitude and love,
Colleen & the Bumblebees 🐝
