A Pause for Renewal ✨

Sometimes you feel the universe shift—and you know it’s time to listen.

After deep reflection, honest conversations, hope and dreams for the future, we’ve made the decision to pause Cotton Candy Clouds for the remainder of the year. It’s time for a reset—a full overhaul, refresh, and renewal. A sacred space to breathe, heal, and reimagine what’s next.

This choice wasn’t made lightly. When you’ve poured your soul into something, stepping back can feel like heartbreak. But growth often starts in stillness. And when you still believe in the dream, especially after the storms, you know it’s worth the care it takes to continue. This space will allow us to refresh, realign, and dream even bigger.

This decision wasn’t easy, but necessary. It’s rooted in love—for our families, our wellness, our time, and the future and foundation of this magical place we’re building.

Six years ago, I set out on a journey. A dream sparked from becoming a mom, a deeply creative heart, and the desire to help create a world of positive influence. I’ve become the most vulnerable version of myself during these last six years. I’ve had my highest highs and my lowest lows. Faith tells me that someday it will all make sense and I’ll write a book. Another dream!

Cotton Candy Clouds creates seasonally inspired adventures and experiences to nurture lifelong curiosity, creativity, and a zest for life across generations. It’s a magical little world we’ve built together. But each of those steps was born from courage, from wild hope, and from choosing joy when the path felt uncertain.

To our beautiful supporters, subscribers, fellow entrepreneurs and creative souls—thank you. You’ve been the light and wings through it all.

If you’re currently a Partner in Adventure, a subscriber, or involved with the Cotton Candy Clouds Kids Magazine, we’ll be reaching out personally after this weekend as we prepare for our next steps.

Take care of yourselves. Keep dreaming. Follow along with us as we look back at some of our most special memories. We’re simply making room for something stronger to grow.

With love,

Cotton Candy Clouds Update✨

Dear Cotton Candy Clouds Friends and Families,

We wanted to share a heartfelt update with you all. As many of you know, Cotton Candy Clouds has always been rooted in family, creativity, and connection. Right now, life is calling us to pause and take care of what matters most.

Recently, my mom underwent surgery, and our family has been focused on supporting her recovery. At the same time, Kaylyn has stepped into an exciting new chapter, going full-time at the salon — a beautiful new adventure for her!

With all these changes, we realize it’s the right time for a fresh start. We’re taking a pause to reorganize, refocus, and dream even bigger for the future of Cotton Candy Clouds.

We have some announcements to make in the upcoming weeks. Right now we are taking a pause to evaluate our options.

This pause gives us space to recharge, refresh our creative spirit, and prepare for an exciting new chapter launching soon — full of fresh ideas, experiences, and even more magic to share with all of you!

We truly appreciate your patience, understanding, and continued encouragement during this season of life.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us. Your support and love mean the world. We can’t wait to return refreshed, renewed, and ready to create even more magical adventures with you!

More updates coming soon.

Creating with heart,
Jessica Renea Johnsen
Creator, Owner & Dreamer

Hopping in for some snuggle bunny fun today in my daughter’s 2nd grade and my son’s kindergarten outdoor classrooms. Beautiful spring sunshine, and imaginations running wild with similes and snuggles. Some of the most special helpers, memories and moments I don’t take for granted.

A pocket of magic, a memory spun—
A chapter of childhood, warm as the sun. ✨
