Fried Pies and Fireflies

Anyone who knows me understands my very favorite is baking cakes for all my “littles”! Sweet Ivy really stretched my skills this year! She wanted a chocolate “space cake” with a vanilla Jupiter sitting on top! If you’ll notice, she has a Space Puppy sitting on top with the tiniest seed packet under its paw. That cute puppy has traveled to Jupiter to plant a garden ❤️ She even drew me a picture of her vision. I am honored that she trusts me with her ideas! ( I remember when I made her Baby Shower cake right before she was born 🥹💕) I think writing fun stories and maybe even cake design could be in Ivy’s future! I hope you had the Happiest Birthday yet Ivy!🎉🎉🎉

This ❤️💕

Work pays you for your hours.

It doesn’t pay you for your peace, your evenings, or your whole identity.

Do what you were hired to do, then go live your real life.

Because the job will take as much as you’re willing to give—and call it “dedication.”

Boundaries aren’t laziness. They’re self-respect.

Clock out means clock out.
